The New Small Business SaaS Customer

In cooperation with the Local Search Association (LSA) and the Tech Adoption Index (TAI), we’ve commissioned the custom research to create the report, "Meet The New Small Business SaaS Customer."

The report looks at what services within the digital marketing tech stack business owners prefer to do themselves (Do-It-Yourself or DIY) and when they see value in the do-it-with-me (DIWM) and do-it-for-me (DIFM) proposition.

The allure of the DIY landscape

With nearly 500 SMB respondents, the focus of the survey was to gain insight into when business owners prefer a DIY option and why. We’re excited to share findings like:

• Domains (50%), websites (37%) and social advertising (29%) were the top 3 products that surveyed SMBs had purchased directly from a service provider’s website or app, without any interaction with a sales or customer service representative
• 36% of SMBs have built their website themselves and of those who did, 50% said it was because it provided them more control of their final result
• Young business owners (ages 18-34) are more inclined to choose DIY tools based on the reasoning that it’s fast and simple to process and lets them avoid interaction with sales reps
• 35% of surveyed SMBs said they would upgrade to a DIFM, if the free/low price version doesn’t meet their needs

With 35% of surveyed SMBs are inclined to upgrade to a 'Do-It-For-Me' (DIFM) service if the free or low-cost version fails to meet their requirements, resellers can leverage white label platforms such as Mono Solutions' to create upsell paths and increase to new ways of servicing their SMB clients.
