The Pitfalls of Running Lead Magnets During Launches

Running lead magnets simultaneously with launch registration ads can severely undermine the effectiveness of a product launch. This strategy may seem logical as a safety net for generating leads, but it often distracts potential customers from the primary launch messaging. As demonstrated in a recent case, most leads attracted by lead magnets did not convert into launch registrants, leading to confusion and a diluted marketing message. Instead of focusing on signing up for the launch, many leads were sidetracked by the lead magnets, resulting in a missed opportunity for engagement and sales.
