SaaS (Software as a Service) is a software delivery and licensing model in which the software is hosted centrally and on a subscription basis. The software owner hosts the database and functionality of the system, and subscribers can access it over the internet using web browsers.
Here are some tips for people who are planning to start or grow an SaaS project:
1. Define a Problem and Develop the Solution
Just like you plan for a product you want to sell before opening a store, you need to plan what type of SaaS product you want to sell. Typically, the primary purpose of developing software is to define a problem and its solution. This means you need to research and find possible issues an industry faces and how an SaaS software can help them solve it. This helps in preparing a blueprint of what your software is going to be and the set of solutions it will offer to its users.
2. Talk to Your Potential Customers
Communication is a key to problem-solving. Since you are looking to develop software that addresses all your customers’ concerns, it is best to talk to your potential customers. This will give you a complete picture of the problem and help you develop a comprehensive solution to it.
3. Set the Right Price
Over-priced software never gets a huge customer base. With increased market competition, it will become difficult to retain customers for a long time if your pricing is higher than your competitors. The ideal price is when there is a high number of people who think your price is a little high but still want to buy the service for business benefits.
4. Focus on Selling the Problem
Marketing the features of your product is not as effective as marketing the problem that businesses are facing and how your software will solve it. This strategy will influence enterprises to opt for your service to address their concerns.
5. Customer Feedback is Precious
Positive feedback keeps you motivated to keep doing your best. But the negative feedback is what’s most valuable for you. It gives you the roadmap to make your service state-of-the-art. Request your customers to rank your service. Regularly ask questions if your service fulfills all their requirements and get their feedback on how you can improve it further.
