We got our marketing for 2011 off to a fast start, with our latest English paper catalog hitting the streets with a boosted print run, including an insertion in MSDN magazine to all their readers worldwide. Our Brazilian customers can also now opt-in to receive their Weekly Email Newsletter in Portuguese, to get all the latest New Product Release news in their own language. Our latest Japanese catalog has also been mailed to our customers in Japan - as we start the new year with a BANG! On our Web site our evaluation download count has surged in recent months, as people try before they buy, to make sure their hard earned money will be spent in the right place.

So what are your plans to launch new products in 2011? We have seen new product categories added to our Web site recently with iPhone Cocoa Libraries, Virtualization tools that work with VMware and Hyper-V, MySQL tools, new Microsoft SQL Server tools, Flex components, and SharePoint utilities. Do you have any products in these areas in your plans? If you have a 32 bit version of your software – what about a 64 Bit version of your product? Have you created 64 Bit versions yet? Our customers are asking for these regularly. Maybe you should put a 64 bit version in your product plans and roadmap in 2011 – it may help boost sales to existing customers who are upgrading their application servers to 64 bit architecture.

Have you published a Product Roadmap on your Web site to show your customers what your product development plans are for the coming year in 2011? A Product Roadmap is a good way to keep your existing customers informed of your plans and stops them getting frustrated by lack of information. For example - a customer using a WinForms component may want to know when the WPF equivalent is being released. Likewise a customer using an ASP.NET AJAX product may wish to know when you plan to launch a Silverlight edition. When do you plan to offer a 64 Bit edition? By having a public Roadmap you can stop customers migrating away from your product range - as they can see you are updating the product continuously.

So what are your product development plans for 2011? Have you published a Product Roadmap to let your customers know? Have you told us about your future plans so we can communicate this more effectively to our Web site users and customers? Why not create a Product Roadmap today?
