How to Accelerate Growth as a SaaS Business in a Competitive Market

For decades, businesses have been undergoing technological transformation. New operating norms have emerged, and many industries have been disrupted. Everything from entertainment and music streaming to hospitality and automotive has been impacted by the sharing economy. Not to mention the development of automation, AI, and machine learning.

So how can a business seek growth in a sustainable way in a competitive market? How can a business keep up with its competitors and ever-changing behaviour of customers? Well, the answer is never the same for each business. For a SaaS business to accelerate growth, owners should go back to the basics and ask essential questions such as ‘What’s my purpose with this venture?’ or ‘How can I better serve my customers?’.

First and foremost, let’s go through with what we, Social Media Boutique, suggest you to look at:

1. Start creating seamless customer experiences

Create a blueprint of how specific platforms will come together to create a holistic experience for your potential customers.

• Is your website user friendly?

• Can your potential customers easily access everything you have to offer?

• Is your call booking funnel easy to enter?

Remember, the less steps they have to take until they convert - the better.

Even your chatbot needs to react as quickly as possible to retain a potential customer. Even your social media content needs to stand out. The key is to ensure that virtual brand experiences translate effortlessly into your customer’s life. Use technology to enhance & facilitate the business/customer relationship, not replace it completely.

2. Personalization is your business friend

Businesses that understand their customers on a deeper level are ahead in the competitive market. And those who can keep their promises about convenience, distribution, and customer service do even better. So, this is where CRM technology comes into play: businesses must ensure that their communications are not only contextually relevant but also timely. It is not only necessary to collect data, but it is also necessary to use it correctly. Scalable personalisation has never been more important. Make your customers feel that you’re talking directly to them, even if you’re addressing a majority of them that showed an interest in your service or product.

3. Think about partnerships & integrations to stay in the game

To remain relevant in a competitive market, most SaaS businesses have already prioritised collaborations with different service providers that complement their products. This helps them drive more conversions and increase their customer base. Evaluate what your services or products can be integrated with & how it can benefit your customers. Then promote the benefits to position yourself above your competitors.

4. Invest in marketing to take everything to the next level

But, no matter what you’re doing on the website, or what excellent integration you have, none of this will drive business growth in a competitive market, if you’re not focusing on how you’re using marketing to the advantage of your SaaS business.

As we all know marketing is at the heart of any business. And no matter how good your product or service is, it will not stand out unless you market it properly. This brings us to our final but not least tip on boosting business growth in a competitive market: increasing marketing efforts.
