Continuum's CMO Presents on Marketing's Forgotten "P" at SaaSFest 2015

Jeanne Hopkins, Senior Vice President & CMO at Continuum^®, the industry's only channel-exclusive provider of fully integrated managed IT services solutions, is presenting, "My Journey with Marketing's Forgotten P," at SaaSFest 2015, on Wednesday, December 9, 2015 in Boston.

SaaSFest 2015 is the premier event for SaaS (News - Alert) growth with an agenda geared towards the three pillars of SaaS - acquisition, monetization and retention. The event is presented by Price Intelligently, empowering companies to get the most out of SaaS.

When it comes to the 4 Ps of marketing, marketers are quick to focus on product, place (distribution) and promotion, but most overlook the most powerful lever to maximizing revenue - pricing. While pricing may not be the path of least resistance in your marketing toolkit, taking the time to optimize your overall pricing strategy including shoring up discounts and improving packaging, can pay significant dividends for both your bottom line and understanding your buyer infinitely better. Jeanne Hopkins discusses the importance of marketing owning pricing as a powerful tool for profit.
