Definitely important. You want to start reaching out to your audience well before you launch, and collect their email addresses. That was part of how we got about $1000 of paying business right out of the gate. We're doing it again:

I'm Amy, by the way. And I'm starting to write more about my biz/approach to biz @ http://unicornfree.com if you're interested :)

Love the design of both Freckle and Charde.sk. Thanks for the help. As a young and first time entrepreneur, I like to think I know the answers, but most of the time it is not the case. Finding out what is needed from a strategic standpoint is something that I have found others are willing to share, especially bootstrapped, product based startups. I will definitely be checking out your blog at unicornfree.com! My name is Matt :)
