hard-launch

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Hard-launch' means officially releasing a product or service to the public with no plans to take it back. It's the final step after you've tested and adjusted it, much like opening a restaurant after all the trial runs.

Examples in Different Contexts

For nonprofit organizations, a 'hard-launch' might mean starting a campaign or initiative in multiple regions simultaneously without prior pilot programs. A campaign manager might say, 'We're going for a hard-launch with our new initiative in both urban and rural areas.'
