Go out on the streets and talk directly to SMBs to acquire new customers. Does your competitor offer data export? Offer free data import and huge discounts to their customers if they move to you. Target businesses already featured on Groupon or other big daily deal sites. If they had successful runs with those, they will now have an email list they can advertise to directly. Focus on one type of business? Keep building a kickass product. Stop blogging for a nerd audience. Blog about your customers' interests. Interview them. Get them featured on popular daily deal blogs like yipit's or Rocky Agrawal's (the guy who recently ripped groupon to pieces).
