Techopedia Explains Product Introduction

Product introduction is primarily a marketing approach and is a planned initiative to make a product available to specific market segments. Depending on the nature of the product, market dynamics, regulatory requirements and other economic and social constraints, the product introduction process can vary.

For example, a software development company may introduce a new product through a beta version before launching the complete solution. This allows the company to gain valuable user feedback, and to fix bugs and errors before the complete launch.
