Collect Feedback Early

It’s tempting to wait until everything is “perfect” before showing your product to anyone. But the truth is, the sooner you get feedback, the faster you can improve—and the fewer expensive mistakes you’ll make.

Feedback doesn’t have to be formal surveys or long questionnaires. Start simple:

• Share your mockups with a few friends who actually buy similar products.
• Post early packaging designs in a small online group (Reddit, Discord, or a Facebook group for your niche).
• If you’ve set up a landing page, email the first signups and ask them what drew them in.

The point isn’t to collect compliments—it’s to uncover blind spots. People might say your font is hard to read, your price feels high, or your packaging doesn’t match the vibe of your product. That’s gold. You can use it to refine before going bigger.

And here’s the best part: early feedback creates early fans. The people you invite into the process often become your first customers. They feel like they’re part of the journey, not just bystanders.
