You launched a new product — congrats! Now the real work begins: turning that launch into a week of content that drives traffic, builds trust, and generates sales. Here's exactly what to post each day.
Day 1: The Big Reveal
- •Carousel or Reel showing the product from multiple angles
- •Story countdown sticker → 'It's here!'
- •Pin to your profile grid
Caption template:
"It's finally here 🎉 Introducing [Product Name] — [one-line benefit]. Link in bio to shop now."
💡 Tip: Post between 11 AM–1 PM for maximum first-day visibility.
Day 2: Behind the Scenes
- •Video of you packing the first orders
- •'How it's made' or sourcing story
- •Team reactions to launch day
Caption template:
"Here's a peek behind the curtain 👀 The first orders of [Product] are going out today!"
💡 Tip: Authenticity outperforms polish on day 2. Use your phone camera.
Day 3: Social Proof
- •Share your first customer DM or review (with permission)
- •Create a quote graphic from early feedback
- •Repost any customer unboxing stories
Caption template:
"We're already getting love for [Product] 💛 Here's what [Customer Name] had to say…"
💡 Tip: If you don't have reviews yet, share your own 'why I created this' testimonial.
Day 4: Education & Value
- •'3 ways to use [Product]' tutorial Reel
- •Comparison: before vs. after using the product
- •FAQ carousel answering top questions
Caption template:
"Not sure how to use [Product]? Here are 3 ways it fits into your daily routine 👇"

Day 5: Urgency & Scarcity

- •Ask followers to share how they style/use it
