The subscription economy has exploded over the last decade.
Top SaaS companies with flexible, innovative technologies are in high demand. The lower barrier to entry however, has created a myriad of competitive pressures on SaaS providers. To dominate their markets, tech companies must drive immediate and continuous value for customers.
Last week, I spoke with Nic Poulos, Principal at Bowery Capital, about how “Behavior Based Marketing” is changing the world. (The link to the podcast is below).
A Simple Example
Imagine if a SaaS company could identify a power user that loves 3 of their product features but doesn’t know about a 4th new feature. The company also knows that other power users in the same field used the 4th feature to achieve their quarterly business in one- third less time.
This information is easy to uncover using a platform like Totango, but to capitalize, the SaaS company needs to take immediate action. Using behavior based marketing, the company could send a personalized note to the user saying, “We noticed you use these 3 features, but there is another feature in your subscription that will help you reach your goals in a third of the time.

This method of “Behavior Based Marketing” is moving the needle in the SaaS world. Unlocking these hidden opportunities is a critical component to driving more renewals, upsells/cross sells, increasing trial conversion and making partnerships more valuable for everyone.
