Asking for a friend haha **

Haha, I've definitely thought about it! But in the end everyone's journey is different and a launch date is kind of a personal thing.

Jerry Foster · Answer

Interesting idea! But I think it's better to embrace competition.

Answer

I wonder if it's a good  idea to ask competitors to change their launch dates

Henry Elijah · Answer

No I never do it, have you?

JenniferGreer · Answer

Haha, that's quite a bold move! I don't think many would try that. Competitors usually stick to their plans. Maybe a casual chat over coffee, but seriously, it’s more about focusing on making your own launch stand out rather than asking others to reschedule. Competition is part of the game!

Answer

Just thinking.....what if there was a polite way to ask competitors to change their launch dates?

Answer

Maybe instead of changing dates I could focus on highlighting what makes my launch unique and create buzz around that!

Emily Grace Thompson · Answer

Hey, tough situation there! Most competitors probably want to maximize their own launch visibility. Politely asking to avoid conflicts is fine, but be prepared that they may decline. I'd focus energy on making your launch event unique and memorable to draw attention. Maybe reach out to some influencers or press contacts to help get the word out about your big day. A creative social media campaign and email blasts to your audience can also help build anticipation. At the end of the day, an awesome product will speak for itself, launch day competition or not. Wishing you all the best!

Answer

Haha, that's a tricky one! I doubt many companies would try that. It sounds a bit like asking for trouble or trying to control things we can't. Launch days are planned way ahead, and I imagine competitors wouldn't be too keen on changing just because someone asked. It's more about focusing on your own game and making sure your launch stands out.

Haha, that's a tricky one! I doubt they'd go for it. Companies usually stick to their plans. Maybe if we offered them a really sweet deal or proved our product would benefit theirs, but that’s highly unlikely. It’s more practical to focus on making our launch stand out instead.

Haha, that's a tricky one! I doubt many companies would try that. It sounds pretty bold and unlikely to work. Competitors usually stick to their own plans. Maybe some secret negotiations happen, but it’s more realistic to focus on making your own launch stand out instead of trying to reschedule others.

Haha, that's a tricky one! I don't think many would go for it. Everyone wants their product to shine, and launch dates are usually set for strategic reasons. It might look unprofessional to ask others to move just for us. Better focus on making our launch stand out instead!
