marketed the software product for 18 months. 15 clients, 3000 lira monthly. But it took too much time. I shut it down. Clients moved to alternative software.
Product failure = not bad marketing, but poor resource usage. Shutting down is a healthy decision.

My questions are cleared up thanks. Mistakes made on the shutting down a product side are usually reversible but expensive.
Just leaving this note it might be useful.
We got stuck at the same point for a while. Delaying bad news is the habit that causes the most losses in this job.
