How B2B SaaS Companies Can Leverage Focused Niche Marketing

As the world advances more and more toward consistent innovation, B2B SaaS companies are finding it harder to survive in the market. The market is so competitive that technology companies are at each other's throats all the time for survival. It's all about 'survival of the fittest. To make sure your IT firm is the 'fittest', all you need to do is consider focused niche markets to market your services.

91% of Chief Marketing Officers think that data-driven choices are one of the biggest factors in a brand’s success. Niche-focused marketing will get your technology consulting company to leave its footprints in the market. To find a focused niche market, you need to figure out what industry is your technology company targeting. Use your data to help you with this.

Once you've established the specific industry you'd be targeting, you're all geared to leverage a focused niche market.

What Is Niche Marketing?

Niche marketing is an advanced marketing strategy in which a company only focuses on a specific industry. Leveraging niche markets for B2B SaaS

 

In niche marketing, your business hones in on a unique target market that is most profitable. Yes, this means that instead of using your marketing tactics on everyone, your company focuses on a specific group, also known as a 'niche market.' In a niche market, there are a set number of potential customers who are most likely to benefit from your company's services.

A niche market differs from your traditional market in terms of geographical location, lifestyle, profession, style, culture, activities, behavior, demographics, and needs. A niche market is generally a smaller subset of a bigger market marked by differences. For example, your IT firm might only be targeting vets and their needs. Or, perhaps you are an ERP company with your target audience mainly from oil and gas companies.

Using niche marketing for your IT firms allows your company to stand out among your competitors. This helps in creating marketing strategies that make your target audience resonate at the same frequency as you. This also helps in retaining your existing clients and attracting new clients at the same time.

 

Benefits Of Using Focused Niche Markets For Your B2B SaaS Company

Benefits of focused niche markets for saas companies

Using focused niche markets to market your IT services has great potential of increasing your revenue. Some of its prime benefits are as follows:

1. Decreased expenditure on marketing

It was calculated that digital advertising spending worldwide amounted to $378.16 billion in 2020. This is a huge amount, and businesses need to cut down their marketing expenditures. This can be done through 'niche marketing.' As you only target a selected subset of the mass market, the expenditure to put effective marketing strategies in place is far lesser.

By saving costs in marketing and advertising, your IT firm can allocate those amounts to improve their IT services and add more value to them. When you're more efficient with your marketing plan, not only can you put that money towards other initiatives, but you'll likely have a higher conversion rate. This is because when you narrow down your target market, your marketing efforts will be catering to the people that are most likely going to purchase from you.

2. Lesser competition in the market

By targeting a niche market, your IT firm only targets the customers that might actually be interested in your offerings. You serve a limited audience, and the chances are that you may find little or no competition. This way, you are targeting a few customers whose interests are aligned with those of your company.

Lesser competition means you don't have to constantly fight for survival in the market, and this can result in great gains in terms of business. Being in a competitive market is good in moderation. You want to make sure that your marketing strategy isn't reaching out to every potential customer in the industry though. In order for your business to succeed, you need to reach out to your ideal customer that you can solve a specific problem for.

3. Greater profits

Using data to drive company choices may result in a 241% increase in return on investment (ROI). By using niche markets to get your message clearly to your potential customers, your IT firm connects with them personally. And since you are targeting a specific niche market only, the chances are that those people might actually be in NEED of the services of your IT firm. This means more sales and greater profits. It would help if you convinced those leads that they couldn't possibly get similar services elsewhere.

This technique also helps in retaining those customers. This is because you're only engaging with only a small part of the total audience. Offering them personalized IT services makes them feel connected with you and become loyal to your technology company.

4. Increased potential for lead generation

The customers who constitute a niche market usually have higher levels of interest in your product or service than the general population. Hence, it increases the chances that your IT firm will be able to generate leads from them and turn them into paying clients. Additionally, because you are leveraging saas digital marketing techniques like content creation and search engine optimization (SEO) specifically for these niches, you can ensure better visibility on the internet and increase your chances of generating leads even further.

According to 85% of B2B companies, lead generation is the most important goal in marketing.

Narrowing your reach will naturally lead to a more successful sales cycle. Part of your SaaS marketing should involve targeting your efforts toward that particular audience and convincing them why they need your product. You'll get a higher ROI if your SaaS marketing is fixated on a certain type of customer that will benefit the most from your product.

5. Improved credibility

Focusing on niche markets gives your business the benefit of establishing credibility quickly. As you only focus on a specific set of customers and serve their individual needs, clients begin to trust your IT firm for the services it offers. This credibility can be leveraged in other markets as well and help your business expand further.

If you cater to a bunch of different audiences, you'll spread yourself too thin and therefore not gain enough trust to become a reputable source. Narrowing your reach allows you to build your reputation and as a result, increase customer retention. It sounds great to reach a lot of audiences, but in reality, that will only hurt your business model. It's best to establish yourself as a thought leader on a narrowed topic. That way, you can create supplemental content that educates your current customers and prospective customers. You'll build their trust through this content and make yourself known as an industry expert.

Creating A Niche Market For Your Technology Company

To make the marketing strategy of your IT company more potent both in terms of cost and efficacy, you need first to establish a niche market. This is where you will be diverting your marketing expertise. Hubspot shares some great examples of how companies target a niche market

Identify your target audience

Identifying your audience is the glorious first step towards establishing a niche market. Currently, only 11% of marketing decisions are made as a result of data analysis. As this rate is growing, now would be a good time to use it for your benefit before others follow suit.

Use your internal list of customers and surveys to do this. You can also use your research to find out more about the pool of people who would be actually interested in your services. Once you’ve found out your target audience, it’s time to dig into their details. Study their preferences, demographics, and personalities.

Get the know-how of the industry 

Knowing about the industry always helps. Notice how your competitors are marketing their IT services and analyze your competition. Also, look for threats in the industry that might restrict your growth.

Industry trends are a critical resource that provides useful insights that you can apply to your content marketing strategy. This strategy allows you to keep up with the ever-changing dynamics of these markets.

Leverage social media 

Social platforms are one of the best ways to create strong connections with your prospective customers. Decide which channel works best for your brand, and experiment with your content marketing strategy to figure out the best selling tactic for your target audience.

You can also partner with affiliates establish your reputation online through them since they will advocate for your business. Social media can be extremely helpful for B2B SaaS businesses when done correctly.

Analyze your current strategies 

If you can’t find anything wrong with your current marketing strategies, hire a third party to do it for you. Knowing where you lack is the first step toward growth. Having another perspective come in and analyze your current marketing efforts can also open new doors to ideas that you may not have thought of.

Figure out the right media type for your niche audience. Then, frame your content strategy around those mediums.

Plan your resources 

You've now created a niche market. Great! But do you have the necessary resources to market your technology services to your filtered audience? Plan the use of your resources beforehand. When you have acquired the right resources, only then continue to spread the influence of your expert marketing techniques.

These resources include marketing channels, employees, funds, and expertise. For instance, if you’re targeting a specific type of customer, use platforms like social media or search engine optimization (SEO) to reach them.

Add a personalized touch 

It's vital to provide an exceptional customer experience that caters to the specific needs of your target consumer. In fact, 88% of customers say the experience a company provides is just as important as its products and services. Your interactions and digital marketing strategy should be designed to effectively sell to the audience that you're solving a problem for.

If your marketing team doesn't have a strategy that is aligned with your sales cycle and your conversion goals, then you won't gain many new customers. Sales and marketing come hand in hand, so the interactions each of those teams have with your customers should have a personalized touch. Email marketing is one channel that provides endless possibilities when it comes to customization.

Key Takeaways

Using a focused niche market can be great as it is conducive to communicating your message effectively to the target audience of your technology company. The personalized SaaS marketing technique bred from niche marketing can help your IT company get a greater profit, more brand loyalty, lesser competition, lesser marketing expenditure, and the opportunity to specialize in a specific niche.
