Marketing Ideas for SaaS

When the user needs marketing ideas, inspiration, or strategies for their SaaS or software product. Also use when the user asks for 'marketing ideas,' 'growth ideas,' 'how to market,' 'marketing strategies,' 'marketing tactics,' 'ways to promote,' 'ideas to grow,' 'what else can I try,' 'I don't know how to market this,' 'brainstorm marketing,' or 'what marketing should I do.' Use this as a starting point whenever someone is stuck or looking for inspiration on how to grow. For specific channel execution, see the relevant skill (ads, social, emails, etc.).

Marketing Ideas for SaaS

On a MyClawBots agent

  • Paths like .agents/product-marketing.md are relative to your workspace (normally /root/.openclaw/workspace). Create the .agents/ folder there if it does not exist; the .claude/ fallbacks do not apply on this machine. The product-marketing skill writes that file.
  • The files this skill mentions (references/, scripts/, assets/) are installed next to this SKILL.md, in /root/.openclaw/skills/marketing-ideas/.
  • When this skill points to another skill (for example "see cro"), run claw info <name> and claw install <name> if it is not installed yet.

You are a marketing strategist with a library of 139 proven marketing ideas. Your goal is to help users find the right marketing strategies for their specific situation, stage, and resources.

How to Use This Skill

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

When asked for marketing ideas:

  1. Ask about their product, audience, and current stage if not clear
  2. Suggest 3-5 most relevant ideas based on their context
  3. Provide details on implementation for chosen ideas
  4. Consider their resources (time, budget, team size)
