## **What is SaaS marketing?**
#### What is SaaS Marketing?
‘SaaS marketing’ or ‘Software as a Service Marketing’ focuses on increasing brand awareness and generating leads for subscription based software using digital channels. Software as a service (SaaS) is generally cloud based.
###### SaaS marketing’s purpose is to
1. Increase brand awareness
2. Drive traffic to your website
3. Growth in new demos and user sign-ups
4. Upgrades to paid versions
#### A key fact
Generating traffic and leads is the #1 challenge that marketers or business owners face, as per HubSpot state of marketing report 2024. Generating traffic / leads/ sales is the problem that I am solving with INNMCO.
#### **How is SaaS marketing different from marketing for other industries?**
###### **1. SaaS software models focuses on multiple decision makers (in B2B)**
SaaS software models doesn’t focus on individual business decision makers (in the case of B2B). It needs to attract different audience segments, due to the nature of B2B buying journey and decision makers involved in the purchase decision.
###### **2. Customer churn is a big issue in SaaS**
SaaS doesn’t sell a once off product. Hence, customer churn is a big issue. SaaS products need a strategy that encourages customer retention and long lasting relationships with customers.
###### **3. No physical product in SaaS**
Similar to B2B services, there is no physical product to sell in SaaS. SaaS marketers need to communicate what the software actually does, while promoting product features. Marketers need to create content for each stage of the buyer’s journey. In the absence of a physical product, this helps in establishing trust with your prospective buyer.
###### **4. Product and content needs to work together**
In the world of agile software development and product road maps, SaaS companies frequently release new features for their product. SaaS marketers need to ensure up-to-date marketing material for their SaaS product.
###### **5. More reliance on marketing teams to generate quality leads**
With the rise of product led growth, self service analytics and low cost SaaS products, sales teams aren’t always needed to close a deal.
###### **6. Pricing of SaaS products **
Pricing for SaaS products is generally tiered and based on the number of users and company size. Marketers need to make this information as clear and detailed as possible to ensure leads don’t lose patience at the very start of the marketing funnel.
To succeed, you will need a strong brand, create engaging and relevant content for the prospective buyer.
#### **What are the best SaaS marketing strategies?**

1. Content Marketing

#### **How important is content for SaaS marketing?**
Content is the crux of SaaS marketing. Create and distribute high quality content that addresses needs, goals and challenges of your target audience. This could take the form of blogs, web pages, webinars, social media posts and emails.
Along side high quality content, implement relevant keywords that [gets your website pages ranked in search engine result pages](https://innmco.com.au/saas-marketing-agency).

1. Website Traffic
2. Branded search volume
3. Product page entrances
4. Leads

8. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
9. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
