What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 10K followers. It was seen 361.3 times over. For 5K to 25K followers the median reach is 50.8 times the following.

This launch beat that by 7.1 times. It ranks 36 of 479 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 5.4 times the median of 688K views.

Saves led. 7K people bookmarked it, 18.5 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.

The rest: 191 replies, 128 quotes, 126 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.6 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.

It starts “Introducing Apple for product launches”, the same first word as 25% of launches in the directory. It carries a 22-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.

The copy runs 28 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.

It went out on a Sunday. Launches posted on a Sunday have a median of 526K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.

Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. This launch sits in the Creative AI and Consumer AI directories.
