Market Research

Firstly, let's examine the market trend and the growth of the WooCommerce plugin.

Market Trend

Currently, there are about 4.67 million live stores using WooCommerce.

Looking at recent trends:

• The number of WooCommerce stores grew by 1.4% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the previous quarter.
• However, compared to the same time last year, the total number of stores is down by 2%.

This indicates there is still high demand and growth potential for the WooCommerce industry.

Competitor Analysis

There are hundreds of free and premium coupon plugins available for WordPress. Among them, the two most prominent ones are Advanced Coupons and Discount Rules by Flycart, both offering free and paid versions of their plugins.

Let's look at in-depth competitor analysis-

Assess Market Potential

A Top-Down approach to market sizing

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

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

Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM)

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

Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)

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.

Designing the Acquisition Channel

​

For the Smart Coupons WordPress plugin, we will focus on 4 acquisition channels - Organic, Paid Ads, and Referral/Partner Program.

1. Organic

The Global Search Volume states that there is a good opportunity to acquire new users from Organic SEO.

95 % of the SERP reults shows product pages. This is a strong indicator of commercial intent for the keyword "WooCommerce Coupon Plugin"

Additionally, since WebToffee has good DR and backlink profile, the effort required and the time for getting ranked in the SERP will be lower.

All these reasonsthe justify why Organic SEO is a right channel for WebToffee at the early scaling stage.

Keyword research

Topic Cluster

We have created several topic clusters based on the user intent and the required content format.

Track and iterate

We continuously track and monitor the performance of our landing pages and blog pages with the competitors using tools like Ahrefs and Google Search Console.

Content Loop

Even though we didn't selected Content Loop has an acquisition channel, there is a clever oppurtunity to acquire new users organically for Smart Coupons using Content Loop but without SEO.

Sounds confusing?

Let me explain.

eCommerce brands often do competitor analysis regularly. This means they'll always look at their top 5 competitors to see what they are doing differently.

(Here's an article that explains the importance of competitive analysis for the success of an online business in 2025. )

This opportunity can be used to create a content loop to bring new users organically.

For creating this content loop, we are not leveraging SEO;, instead, we are focusing on a feature of our Smart Coupons plugin to show discount sale banners on the store.

Setting some context.

Smart Coupons has a feature called displaying coupon banners, which adds a coupon banner with a timer and coupon code on the store page.

We plan to include a subtle branding element—like “Powered by Smart Coupons”—with a backlink to our product page. This way, every time our customers display the banner on their store, it not only boosts our backlink profile and domain rating (DR), but also brings valuable visibility to our plugin.

When a competitor visits a store featuring our banner, they’re likely to click through to our product page, explore our offering, and potentially convert into a paying customer. Over time, this creates a powerful growth loop: our users promote our plugin passively, bringing in new users, who then display the banner, and the cycle continues.

Ultimately, the more our customers use our product and its features, the more they become organic promoters of our brand.

Let’s assume that out of four eCommerce store owners who are competitors of our customer (eShoppe.com), three see the coupon banner. Out of those, two visit the product page and eventually convert into customers. Later, they also started using the same coupon banner feature. Their own competitors then come across these banners, leading to a continuous organic loop of adoption and conversions.

This is based on assumptions, and the actual conversion rate might differ.

Paid ads are a strong acquisition channel for Smart Coupons as they allow us to target high-intent WooCommerce store owners searching for coupon solutions. With none of our key competitors actively running paid campaigns, we have a clear opportunity to capture visibility, drive installs, and scale user acquisition with measurable ROI.

LTV: CAC Framework

Considering CAC: LTV > 3, so we can proceed with paid channels of acquisition

Channel Selection Framework for ICP 1

Google Search Ads and Google Display Ads are highly relevant for promoting the Smart Coupons plugin due to their strong performance across key criteria. Google Search Ads offer high scalability, low lead time, and high flexibility, making them ideal for capturing high-intent users actively searching for WooCommerce coupon solutions. On the other hand, Google Display Ads complement this by enabling broad, cost-effective reach and retargeting through visually engaging creatives. Both channels require medium effort and cost, making them efficient and scalable options. Together, they form a powerful combination for driving conversions and growing awareness for the Smart Coupons plugin.
