It seems that prosumer SaaS products are becoming more and more innovate, with new growth hacks being developed all the time. Some of the most popular examples include product activation (activation codes or referral programs), leveraging AI and machine learning for customer interactions, and using gamification to keep users engaged. These methods not only help to increase conversion rates but also encourage repeat customers who may be less likely to churn if they feel like they're part of a community or active in promoting your product. Additionally, providing valuable discounts or exclusive offers can create an incentive for users to tell their friends about your product. Product activation is probably one of the simplest yet highly effective growth hacks out there, as it reduces user acquisition costs while still increasing engagement rates. By encouraging users to use your product even before they have actually signed up for it, you're building trust and loyalty at an early stage which will pay off down the line when it comes to conversion rates and retention levels.

Here are some points I can think of off the top of my head: 1. Leverage customer referrals and word-of-mouth marketing: Offer existing customers incentives for referring your product to their network. This could include discounts, giveaways, or other rewards. 2. Offer free trials: Give potential customers the opportunity to try out your product before committing to a purchase. This will help them determine if your product is the right fit for them. 3. Utilize social media: Share the features and benefits of your product on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. 4. Leverage influencers: Reach out to influencers in your space and get them to promote your product. This will help you reach a larger audience. 5. Create content: Create helpful content that educates potential customers about your product and its features. This can include blog posts, ebooks, case studies, and more. 6. Offer discounts: Discounts are a great way to encourage people to purchase your product. Offer discounts for new customers, as well as loyalty rewards for existing customers. 7. Partner with other companies: Partner with other companies in your space to cross-promote each other’s products. This will help to expand your reach and visibility.
