Definition

Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) is the portion of the total market that a company can realistically capture and serve with its products or services. In the context of digital marketing and sales automation, understanding the Serviceable Obtainable Market is critical for targeting efforts and resource allocation. By identifying the SOM, businesses can focus their marketing strategies and sales efforts on the most accessible and likely-to-convert segments of the market. This ensures efficient use of resources, maximizes return on investment, and enhances customer acquisition strategies. In data enrichment, accurately defining and analyzing the SOM helps firms tailor their offerings and communications to meet the specific needs of this segment, leading to more effective engagement and higher conversion rates. Recognizing your SOM allows you to prioritize initiatives and optimize marketing campaigns to achieve measurable growth within feasible and accessible market segments.

Here is an example:

Imagine a technology startup that specializes in a new software solution for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The total available market consists of all businesses globally, but the company recognizes that not all of these businesses are accessible due to factors like geography, language, or existing competition. By narrowing down to their Serviceable Obtainable Market, the startup identifies SMBs in North America and Europe that do not yet use a similar software. With this focused approach, the company tailors its marketing messages to address the specific needs and challenges faced by these SMBs, leverages targeted online advertising, and uses sales teams to engage directly with prospects in these regions. Consequently, this strategic focus enables the startup to maximize its marketing efforts and increase its market share within these targeted regions, rather than spreading its resources too thin across the entire global market.
