One of the most important things you can do is to presell your product before or even after your launches. Preselling will increase your conversion and sales rates better than just blind selling it.
People won't put up their buying defense shields as quit with a presell advertisement like they would with a direct buy offer. Preselling will educate them about the product and get them interested and excited in it before they have to make a decision to buy.
This post will give you 30 killer ideas to presell your product to your target audience.
1. Video Demonstrations
Show your target audience a video demonstration of how to use your upcoming product. When people better understand a product and what it can do for them the more persuaded they will be to spend their hard earned money on it.

Give your prospects an outline of what's included in your total product package. People like to skim and not read large product descriptions. You could list the product features, benefits, bonuses, guarantee offers, add ons, etc.
3. Product Samples
Give people a sample of your product. When you give people a little taste of your product and they like it, they will want more and will spend money to get it. Just make sure your sample is big and enticing enough to influence them to buy.
4. Table Of Contents
If your product is a report, ebook, magazine or book you could show people the table of contents. That will allow them to see everything they will learn with a quick read or glance. Your table of contents should be written in a way that it reveals the benefits of your product.

29 Informational Articles
Show people a series of informative articles regularly over a certain period of time leading up to your product launch. The articles just need to support the product. You could even turn the articles into to lessons that have assignments to get them motivated to buy.
30. First Chance
Reveal to your prospect that if they sign up to your launch list they will be one of the first to do something for your launch. It could be to sign up to the affiliate program to promote it, buy it before it gets sold out, get it at a discount, etc.

And don't forget, you can also create preselling tools for your affiliates to increase your sales even more.
