A SaaS Founder’s Journey to Growth

Discover how Max’s SaaS app gained 75 users in a month, cut acquisition costs, and boosted team productivity with TODATA’s simple, effective marketing strategies.

A SaaS Founder’s Journey to Growth


Max’s productivity app had potential, but users weren’t signing up. With TODATA’s guidance, he lowered costs, improved his marketing, and grew his user base efficiently.

Max stared at his dashboard late one night. 15 new sign-ups after spending $1,000 on ads. Each user had cost him $66. His sleek productivity app deserved better.

He knew the product was solid. Teams who tried it loved it. But getting new users to sign up felt impossible.

Then he called TODATA.

The Struggle: Building a Product No One Knew

Max had built a SaaS tool designed to simplify operations for small businesses. The software worked seamlessly, solved real problems, and offered features competitors lacked. Yet despite months of effort, hardly anyone signed up. Free trials were started but rarely converted, cold emails went unanswered, and investors didn’t see traction. Max knew the product had potential, but without visibility and trust, it was as if it didn’t exist.

Identifying the Gaps

Reviewing the competitive landscape, Max realized his competitors weren’t necessarily better, they simply had more authority and visibility online. Blogs, tutorials, case studies, and testimonials gave them credibility, while Max’s website and messaging barely registered. It became clear that the product’s quality alone wouldn’t generate adoption; potential users needed to know about it, understand its value, and trust it enough to try it.

Strategic Steps to Acquire Users

TODATA worked with Max to define his ideal user persona: small business owners and managers struggling with repetitive tasks and inefficiencies. They crafted educational content addressing common pain points, sharing actionable guides and tutorials, and highlighting how Max’s tool solved real problems. Case studies demonstrated tangible results from early adopters, and retargeting campaigns reminded visitors who had explored the site but hadn’t signed up. Emails guided potential users through onboarding, nurturing them into paying customers.

Early Wins and Momentum

Within a few months, Max began seeing measurable growth. Website traffic increased, trial signups became more consistent, and users engaged longer. Case studies boosted credibility, encouraging referrals, while retargeting nudges reminded potential users of the tool’s value. What once felt like an invisible product now gained traction, and Max began to see his first signs of scalable growth.
