Launch Announcements They Will Actually Open

The Problem

Product launches live and die by attention. But the channels most teams rely on (email blasts, press releases, social media posts) are saturated. Journalists receive hundreds of pitches daily. Analysts skim press releases. Customers ignore launch emails that look like every other marketing message.

The window for launch impact is narrow. If your announcement does not break through in the first 48 hours, momentum stalls. You have spent months building a product and days watching the launch email get a 15% open rate.

Physical items drive the highest commercial action of any marketing format. They are inherently shareable. People photograph and post interesting mail on social media. Yet most launch strategies ignore physical channels entirely because legacy direct mail is too slow and too expensive to fit a launch timeline.

The Solution

SealedSend makes physical mail fast enough for product launches. With 1-2 day processing and 3-5 day USPS delivery, you can time sealed letters to arrive the week before or day of your announcement. The letter creates anticipation and signals that something significant is happening.

Sealed launch letters are inherently shareable. Recipients photograph the wax seal and post it on social media, creating organic buzz that amplifies your launch beyond the initial recipient list. One sealed invitation shared on Twitter reaches thousands.

At $8 per letter, a VIP pre-launch campaign of 100 sealed letters costs $800, less than most companies spend on a single launch day social media ad. The engagement rate and memorability are incomparably higher.
