Starting an agency + SaaS for SMB customer acquisition, retention & referrals (looking for feedback / collaborators)
I’m in the process of starting an agency focused on SMBs (restaurants, med spas, massage/wellness salons, etc.).
The model combines:
- Customer acquisition via Meta ads (lead gen + bookings)
- My SaaS for gamified engagement (3 prize box system where customers always win a reward)
- Customer account system (store rewards + track usage)
- Referral system to grow the customer base
- Basic ROI tracking (redeemed rewards + campaign performance)
The goal is to build a full system that handles:
acquisition → conversion → retention → referrals
I’m currently in early stage and looking for:
- feedback from people who have experience scaling SMB marketing / lead gen
- criticism on whether this model actually works in practice
- potential collaborators (ads, growth, or SaaS experience)
If you’ve built or worked with similar systems, I’d appreciate your input.
