MaiImg Product Launch Image Hub

A product launch generates a flood of visual assets — product shots, lifestyle photos, packaging images, press kit visuals. Managing who gets which images, in what resolution, and tracking whether they actually use them is a logistics challenge. MaiImg turns chaos into a controlled hub.

The Product Launch Image Problem

Challenge	What Goes Wrong
Version confusion	Retailer uses old product shot from 3 months ago
Premature leaks	Press publishes images before the embargo date
No tracking	Marketing has no idea who downloaded the assets
Format chaos	Different teams need different resolutions and crops
Revocation impossible	Once sent via email, images can’t be recalled

Setting Up Your Image Hub

1. Upload All Assets

Upload product images to MaiImg — supports PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP, up to 50 MB each, 25 files per batch.

2. Create Distribution Channels

Generate separate links for each audience:

Audience	Controls	Why
Press / media	Expiration = embargo date, download ON	Need high-res files, but not before the launch
Retail partners	View limit per partner, download ON	Need product shots for listings
Social media team	No download, view only	Preview before final approval
Internal review	View limit, watermark ON	Prevent premature sharing

3. Distribute Links

Send each audience their specific link:

• Press: include in press kit email
• Retailers: send via partner portal or direct email
• Social team: share in the team channel

4. Monitor Engagement

Track:

• Which press outlets accessed the images (and when — before or after embargo?)
• Which retailers downloaded product shots
• Whether the social team reviewed all approved visuals

Pre-Launch Workflow

Week -4: Upload all product images with strict access controls (internal team only)

Week -2: Share with press under embargo (expiration set to launch day)

Week -1: Share with retail partners for listing preparation

Launch day: Remove restrictions, enable wider distribution

Post-launch: Review analytics, identify which images drove the most engagement

Image Replacement Without Changing Links

Product images evolve during the launch process — colors get adjusted, backgrounds change, new angles are added. MaiImg lets you replace the image behind an existing link:

• The URL stays the same
• All existing recipients see the updated image
• No need to re-send links or update partner portals

Catch a color accuracy issue the day before launch? Replace the image — every shared link instantly shows the corrected version.

Access Control for Competitive Protection

Product images are competitive intelligence. Competitors study your packaging, pricing displays, and product positioning through images. MaiImg’s controls prevent unauthorized access:

• View limits ensure images can’t be scraped en masse
• Expiration means leaked links become dead links
• Watermarks trace any unauthorized sharing back to the source
• Download prevention stops competitors from building a catalog of your visuals
