Deep dives
Product-Led Growth as a Marketing Strategy
Utilizing product-led growth (PLG) positions the product itself as the primary marketing tool for a software as a service (SaaS) business. By offering free trials or freemium models, businesses enable potential customers to engage with the product without financial commitment, allowing them to quickly understand how the product solves their problems. This approach significantly reduces customer acquisition costs by making it easier for users to explore and evaluate the product first-hand. As users experience the product's value early on, they are more likely to convert into paying customers, showcasing the simplicity and effectiveness of the PLG model.
