FreshBooks + Quality Fans= An Accounting Explosion

FreshBooks is an accounting solution for SMBs. With other players in the market such as Intuit and Quicken, how does FreshBooks stand around the web?

Taking a look at some other players:

Across the industry, we see high strength with QuickBooks and PayPal, two products many people consider compliments to FreshBooks. Services such as Mint.com (aimed primarily at consumers), and Quicken (a direct competitor to FreshBooks) do not have much overlap with FreshBooks.

Segmenting your audience is key to micro targeting. Specific, targeted ads to different groups within your audience create effective ads with little waste. This also helps you determine the quality of your fans.

Having quality fans is worth many times more than quantity fans. Considering how many times more a share is worth than a like, and how poor quality fans will dilute your message, more than 10% of your fans being very unlikely to need your services are a waste. Frequent contests and memes may become viral, but what good is engaging people who will never convert to customers?
