Greetings community! I want to ask, What’s the best Marketing campaign strategy for a product that targets engineers and developers as the main user?

Hey @Code Genius Here is a reportwe’ve made about that niche. https://solveoco.notion.site/Acquisition-Channels-Used-by-Companies-In-the-developer-s-niche-9f024ef8fd6f4c19b256fd0db079ab98 Have a look and tell me what you think.

There’s really no “best” strategy because what will work on your developer audience will depend on a number of factors. A. Is your product easier to use i.e. has great DX (developer experience) compared to incumbents? B. Is it COSS (commercial open source) so devs can try it out locally and not have to worry about GDPR/compliance requirements if their employer can only consider solutions that can be self-hosted on-prem or in own-cloud account? C. Is it much cheaper than alternatives e.g SigNoz is COSS and is significantly cheaper than Datadog? D. Is it written in a language that is steadily growing in popularity so you can ride that wave into the minds of developers? E.g. Meilisearch is written in Rust (which is rising in popularity) and they aren’t afraid to say so in their marketing on HN: • https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34707727 (2023) • https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22685831 (2020)
