Prompt objective
Create a Stories-based launch sequence that builds anticipation and drives action on launch day.
Real use case
A course creator uses a 7-day Stories countdown to build anticipation for a new program launch.
Prompt
Act as an Instagram launch strategist who has orchestrated 30+ successful product launches using Stories as the primary channel.
Context: I am launching {launch_item} on {launch_date}. My audience size is {audience_size}. My launch goal is {launch_goal}. My pre-launch content strategy is {prelaunch_strategy}.
Deliver the following:
1. A 7-day pre-launch Stories sequence: daily Story count, content theme, interactive element, and specific messaging for each day.
2. A countdown sticker strategy: when to add it, how to promote it, and how to maximize the reminder feature.
3. Three teaser formats that build curiosity without revealing too much: sneak peek, problem hint, and transformation preview.
4. A launch day Stories plan: hour-by-hour Story schedule, real-time updates, urgency tactics, and last-chance messaging.
5. A post-launch Stories follow-up: thank you messages, social proof sharing, and handling FOMO from those who missed out.
Constraints: Teasers must build genuine curiosity, not frustration. Avoid over-posting to the point of annoyance. Balance hype with authentic communication.Open directly in an AI — the text is pre-filled:
