4. Easily double your money by bundling
Bundling is one of the easiest ways to “sell” SaaS add on services like data backup. Why? Let’s face it: backup sounds boring. It’s like insurance. Everyone knows they need it for their business but nobody wants to hear the sales pitch to buy it. Since you know your customers need to backup their data, make safeguarding their data easy by bundling backup with every Office 365 seat sold. The chart below shows the typical net profit you might earn from selling a one year subscription to Office 365 ($16.50) versus your net profit if you bundle it with Dropsuite (~$32.00).

5. Backup boosts stickiness and sequenced product purchases
You can increase your recurring revenue per user (ARPU) by encouraging your customers to upgrade to products and solutions with advanced features over time. Consider Dropsuite Backup. It starts out as a low cost data safeguarding tool. As your customers use it and grow their business over time, some will need archiving or GDPR compliance features — and they must pay to upgrade — and you will capture a higher recurring revenue stream as a result. This revenue stream tends to be stickier because your customer prefers (knows how to use/sees the benefit) of our product, and the cost of switching in terms of time, effort, and costs outweighs the simplicity of staying with you.
Recurring, upgradable and sticky revenue makes your cash flow predictable, measurable, and scalable.
