# The 8 pillars of a successful launch

## 1. Preliminary teaser

Create curiosity before launch through a short humorous campaign. Example: *"Your notice board is retiring"*.

## 2. Coordinated launch (Launch Day)

Schedule invitations simultaneously (8:30-9:00 a.m.) to create a **sense of collective momentum**or set a specific time slot as an appointment.

## 3. Spectacular reveal

If you have Steeple screens, set up a **live countdown** with an animation or speech to mark the moment.

## 4. Pre-populated platform

**Never launch Steeple empty.** Prepare in advance:

* A post from the leader
* Team photos
* The agenda
* Useful resources
* Fun polls

## 5. Ambassador group

Select volunteer employees 2-3 days before launch to:

* Test the platform
* Post content
* Serve as relays

## 6. Festive event

Organize a breakfast and activities (selfies, quizzes, prize draws) to **celebrate together**.

## 7. Message from the leader

An official post from the leader that:

* Sets the tone
* Explains the objectives
* Encourages participation

## 8. Removal of old tools

Clarify the transition by simultaneously deactivating:

* The paper notice board
* Paper newsletters
* The other competing channels
