The SaaS stallion shows no signs of slowing down and the public market growth is set to hit the 76 billion USD mark by 2020. However, with such growth potential comes cut-throat competition from bigger players and crippling challenges that can wipe off smaller players. How can you, as a SaaS SME, stay ahead of the pack in a highly competitive world? The answer lies in three words – improvise, adapt, and innovate – top SaaS calculators. We can hear your bewildered “Huh!?” Let us put it in simpler words.
Companies obsess over new customer acquisition. While it is not a wrong approach, many firms lose sight of the fact that it is equally important to retain existing customers. In fact, it is easier, and up to 4x cheaper to upsell existing customers than acquiring new customers. Therefore, SaaS companies, especially small ones need to adopt a two-pronged strategy that equally focuses on customer retention and acquisition. This means it makes more sense to invest in tools and techniques to keep your existing clients hooked.
How do you Establish this Two-Pronged Approach?
One surefire way of doing this is by providing experiences like calculators that answer your customer’s questions and provide instant gratification. So, wrap up your latest offering in a calculator. It can be a blog post on common challenges faced by your clients or your latest product pricing. Employ calculators as lead magnets and watch the conversion rate go through the roofs.
A calculator is a simple and solid way to add value to your website. Rather than browsing through white pages or scrolling through blog posts, calculators mix things up. It makes your audience take more interest in the concept you’re trying to sell.
