SaaS advertising is different. Your customer needs six months to decide. Multiple stakeholders. High customer lifetime value.

E-commerce tactics don't work. SaaS needs its own playbook.

Lead Generation Focus

Conversions are leads, not purchases. Email captures beats immediate signups. Build email list. Nurture into sales conversations.

Pricing Confidence

Pricing strategy is complex for SaaS (free trial, freemium, tiered). Be transparent. Show value, not just features.

Free Trial Strategy

Free trials convert better than demos. Let prospects experience your product. Most will convert if they get real value in week one.
