Set a Budget<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, decide what your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> budget is. For some companies, there\u2019s plenty of money to spend on a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> press releases<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">event promotion<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hype<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> up the event beforehand. Others may need to be more selective with funds and plan a smaller, more budget-conscious celebration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to set a budget that feels reasonable based on your cashflow. You can use a free <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eventkickstart.com\/average-event-cost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online price estimator<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get an idea of costs based on your type of event, location, size of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guest list<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and time. If you work in a larger organization, check in with your finance department and work together to set a figure that allows you to plan an event that\u2019ll allow you to reach your promotional or sales goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Assemble Your <\/b><b>Launch Party<\/b><b> Team<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most often, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">event planning process<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> requires more than one person to manage it. As such, take time to build a team that\u2019ll help see your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plan through from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for people who can take tasks off your to-do list or support you in other ways. Call on the help of an assistant if possible, and think about whether you need to work with other teams like finance, marketing, sales, or customer support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working on this launch solo? Consider your friends, family members, or growing community as part of your launch team \u2014 or seek out support or guidance from online communities of other business owners in a similar position.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Choose a Theme<\/b><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_16537\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16537\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16537 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Champagne-Accent-Invitation-2.jpg\" alt=\"Launch party: Champagne Accent Invitation\" width=\"400\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Champagne-Accent-Invitation-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Champagne-Accent-Invitation-2-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Claudia Owen<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>Invitation inspiration: <\/b><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/invitations\/champagne-accent\/yellow\/grand-opening\">Champagne Accent Invitation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be planning a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corporate event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have fun with it. Think about whether your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would benefit from a theme and start brainstorming some ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Event themes range from subtle and sophisticated to wild and unexpected, and there\u2019s room for plenty of ideas in between. Your launch theme could be as simple as centering the event around one of your brand colors, or as bold as throwing a<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/costume-party-ideas\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>costume party<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to celebrate the launch of your new novel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide you don\u2019t want a distinct theme, that\u2019s okay too \u2014 you can always let your product or business take the lead when it comes to atmosphere and theming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Find the Right Venue<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hosting an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in-person<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> event, you\u2019ll need a venue that matches your goals, budget, and intended <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guest list<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Start looking early in the process so there\u2019s time to secure your ideal date and location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider how many people you\u2019re expecting, what type of event space you need, and any other practical considerations like budget, location, and accessibility. Tour the event space if possible to get an idea of how your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might look in that venue and to determine if it offers the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">functionality<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re launching a new store or office, that location makes an ideal <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> venue. For a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book launch<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, consider an<\/span><strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/usa\/things-to-do\/best-independent-bookstores-in-the-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">independent bookstore<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you run a digital or remote business, you could even consider a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/how-to-host-a-virtual-event\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>virtual event<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Set a Date and Time<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you get too far into the details, decide on your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> date and time. Come up with some potential dates, check availability with key vendors and any VIPs, and then settle on your final choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning to invite the public to your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, consider a date and time that allows for more people to attend. An evening launch is ideal if your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">target audience<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is at work during the day, but a weekend launch might be the right choice for a more family or leisure-focused brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Build a VIP <\/b><b>Guest List<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is open to the public or not, there\u2019s likely to be a small list of key people you\u2019d like to attend. Build that list now, so you can send your <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/\">online invites<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> early and secure their attendance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re going for a feel of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exclusivity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">private party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might be invite-only with a small, select <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guest list <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">influencers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, members of the media, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential customers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in your<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> target market.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For other celebrations, you might have a VIP <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guest list<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of notable figures, funding partners, and close friends \u2014 plus an open invite to anyone else to join you for a toast or to find out more about your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new product<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7.

Change the colors, layout, and fonts to match your theme or brand colors. Add your event details and personalized wording and you\u2019re ready to send or schedule for a later date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Consider Marketing and Promotion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re launching something exciting, so it\u2019s only natural that you want people to find out about it. For this you\u2019ll need an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">event marketing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and promotion plan \u2014 or at least an idea of who you want to reach and how to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">great launch<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you want to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hype<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> up the event to generate interest with your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">target audience<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As such, spend time researching what marketing methods would be best for your particular goal and audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you\u2019re planning a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">product launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">skincare brand<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you might want to focus on promoting it on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a specific <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hashtag <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to encourage shares. You could also offer <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teasers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> online to promote event <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">swag bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, giveaways, raffles, or other enticing incentives you might have planned for your event.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Plan Your Entertainment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main feature at your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is likely to be your product, service, or business, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to plan some entertainment too. Consider what would work well alongside your business and goals, then work with vendors to make it happen. Your entertainment could include a live band, comedian, dance performance, juggler, magician, or any other type of entertainer. If that\u2019s out of budget, you can simply make sure to have a playlist that suits the vibe of your event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Choose <\/b><b>Your Party<\/b><b> Decor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launch parties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> don\u2019t typically need lots of decor, which helps to keep costs low. Think about your overall theme and purpose, and decide how much to invest in decor to create the right atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your decor simple with branded banners, stands, and backdrops. For a grand entrance, consider a balloon arch or decorated archway. If your event has a more distinct theme, choose decor that helps you pull it off in a fun, immersive way \u2014 like adding giant inflatables to a summer-themed event. Or if you\u2019re hosting a<\/span>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/ribbon-cutting\">ribbon-cutting ceremony<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, don\u2019t forget the ribbon and scissors!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>11.

Stick to a simple buffet spread for guests, hand out canap\u00e9s, or swap the public event for a private dinner at a restaurant instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever you choose, make sure your menu is as inclusive as possible. Offer a range of food options for different diets and preferences, and always have allergen information readily available for guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>12. Create a <\/b><b>Launch Event<\/b><b> Schedule<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">big day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is upon you, work with your team to create an event schedule. This short document will help you stay organized on the day to avoid confusion or delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a schedule that details your event timings from start to finish, along with who is responsible for each task or station. Include a floor plan if your event features lots of tables or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interactive<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> experiences, or takes place in a large area. Include the contact details for the main leader so everyone knows who to speak to on the day if any issues arise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>13. Host a Live Demo<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What better way to celebrate your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new product launch<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than with a live demo? If you\u2019re launching a game, app, product, or experience, this is the best way to introduce what you\u2019re offering to guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make preparations so that your live demo goes smoothly. Prepare all the necessary tech and products, check everything\u2019s working in advance, and rehearse so you know exactly what to say to generate interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>14. Plan a <\/b><b>Giveaway<\/b><b> or Promotional Offer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launch party<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the perfect moment to introduce a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">giveaway<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or limited-time promotional offer. Create <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exclusivity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and excitement by sharing this only with the guests in attendance on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about a suitable <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">giveaway<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> item or promotional offer, then introduce it to guests at your event. Tie the offer or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">giveaway<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into your overall marketing strategy by asking people to sign up to a newsletter or share their details so you can start building a list and community around your product or service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>15.
