This is the total revenue opportunity available if Smart Coupons captured 100% of the plugin-using WooCommerce market.
It is based on:
→ The estimated number of WooCommerce stores using advanced marketing plugins
→ Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) = $89/year
TAM = 300,000 stores × $89
= $26,700,000 ~ $26.7 million
This represents the portion of the TAM that is realistically addressable based on Smart Coupons’ current offerings, ICP fit (English-speaking markets, active promotional use), and plugin adoption behaviors.
Let’s assume 40% of TAM is within this directly reachable segment.
SAM = $26,700,000 × 40%
= $10,680,000 ~ $10.7 million
This is the realistic share of the SAM Smart Coupons can capture, considering competition from Advanced Coupons, Discount Rules, and other WooCommerce tools.
Let’s assume a realistic 20% market share of SAM.
SOM = $10,680,000 × 20%
= $2,136,000 ~ $2.1 million
Smart Coupons is in the early scaling phase, having achieved product-market fit as demonstrated by its 30,000+ active installations and consistently high user ratings across WordPress.org and WebToffee’s site. The plugin has validated demand for flexible, rule-based coupon solutions among WooCommerce store owners.
