Your Reading List For SaaS Marketing

Marketing any product or service is hard, especially in today’s competitive digital landscape. But when it comes to marketing for a SaaS company, you’ve got your work cut out for you. In addition to all the regular challenges of marketing, you’ve got a bunch of other variables to fight through.

You don’t have a physical, tangible product. Your service and your app is constantly changing and evolving. Maybe your app sounds like a foreign language to most people, and you literally only have about 25 B2B companies who this is relevant to. The struggle is real.

If you want to nail your marketing, you’ve got to make sure you deeply understand the nuances and key differences of SaaS marketing versus every other type of marketing.

One of the best ways to learn is to read, read, read. Learn from those who have gone before you and who are willing to share their secrets, successes, and failures. While there are countless fantastic blogs and online resources out there, we wanted to compile a list of some of the best for your weekend reading pleasure.
