I think building a community around your product before your launch is key. That way, you are already close with users that use your product and can really drive your launch to the top!
it's important to focus on creating a strong brand identity, crafting a compelling narrative around your product, generating anticipation through teasers and sneak peeks, and encouraging early adopters to share their experiences and feedback with their own networks.
@cathgriffin55 Totally agree. It's easy to forget to engage your early adopters in your launch while trying to generate new users/followers. But turning your early adopters into launch advocates is the most ROI thing you'll do. Because it develops trust among new users and builds loyalty of early users.

Partner with local artists.
Attend local arts events such as gallery openings, exhibitions, or artist talks to meet local artists and learn more about their work. This will give you an opportunity to network with artists, discuss potential collaborations, and identify those with strong local networks or social media followings.
You can also partner with local arts organizations such as museums, galleries, or arts councils to identify artists who have a strong following or network. Collaborating with a startup can provide local arts organizations with additional funding and resources. Startups may be able to offer financial support, in-kind services, or access to resources such as marketing or design expertise, which can be valuable assets for arts organizations with limited budgets. Win-win situation for both the parties.
Partnering with influencers can be an effective way to generate buzz and build excitement for your product launch. Also, Creating a community beforehand is crucial for a successful launch.
