<p><strong>Inbound marketing</strong> is among the most important aspects of running a successful business, as this type of marketing is designed to attract customers to your website by providing them with content that is helpful and relevant to what they’re looking for. In order to implement a successful inbound marketing strategy, you will need to have high quality content at every stage along the customer’s journey throughout your website, eventually moving them to make a purchase or sign up for your customer email list. The use of search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, and content marketing via blog posts are a few common methods of inbound marketing.</p>
<p>Unlike <strong>outbound marketing</strong> that requires you to initiate the conversation with customers via television commercials and print ads (<a href="https://wp.brytdesigns.com/7-reasons-digital-marketing-better-than-traditional/">which can very costly</a>), the customers will find you at the exact time they are looking to make a purchase and all you have to do is make sure that you create content that will interest the target customers and core audience of your business. <strong>The approach that HubSpot takes with its inbound marketing is narrowed down to a core strategy of attract, convert, close, and delight</strong>, which they believe will allow you to convert people who have never visited your website before into customers who regularly purchase from and promote your business providing exponential growth and a cost effective ROI.</p>
<p>When attracting customers to your website, HubSpot focuses on blogging, content strategy, and social media. As they work their way through the convert and close aspects of inbound marketing for your website, they will focus on chatting with site visitors, implementing forms that customers can fill out, and nurturing leads. In the event that this strategy has been successful, HubSpot will then delight the new customers on your website with smart content and meaningful customer conversations. The HubSpot approach to inbound marketing can be highly valuable to your website, as their services are known to be among the best in the industry, allowing you to avoid costly marketing mistakes.</p>

<p>HubSpot is an extremely powerful and easy-to-use CRM, but there are many competitors out there that can provide their own unique set of features and value to your business. While HubSpot is designed to provide you with every customer relationship management feature that your business might need, certain competitors may be a better fit for your business.</p>
<h3><span id="Hubspot_vs_Salesforce">Hubspot vs. Salesforce</span></h3>
<p>One of the premier CRM services aside from HubSpot is that of <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Salesforce</a>, which is why you might want to know about the <a href="https://www.marketingautomationinsider.com/hubspot-vs-salesforce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">differences between the two</a> before making your final decision on which to select. Due to the services provides by HubSpot and Salesforce, the former is best for owners of small to medium sized businesses (our opinion) while Salesforce is better for larger businesses with a greater budget and operational resources. However, HubSpot is cost-effective, streamlined and easy-to-use, which means that you will be able to manage the features available with this service more easily.</p>
<p>Salesforce is comprehensive, allowing you to add or delete features at your leisure, but the configuration and setup of this CRM can be difficult and somewhat time-consuming. Even though HubSpot is ideal for owners of small businesses, it is an all-in-one solution that will fit the needs of any business size. The primary offerings from Salesforce that cannot be found with other CRM solutions include the ability to create quotes and membership sites. You can start with two users on HubSpot and five on Salesforce with both costing a little extra for each additional user. <strong>Both of these solutions have their benefits</strong>, which you should consider before choosing the solution that’s right for you.</p>

<p>With how HubSpot works and the features that it provides to you, it’s a very <strong>quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive CRM to use</strong>, particularly due to the inclusion of a free option. The variety of CRM options available for you to use allow you to select the one that fits the exact needs of your business. The other platforms that you can use for your business range from extremely minimal and bare bones to extremely complex and robust with a large number of features and available customization options. While these options can certainly be beneficial to your business, what HubSpot does well is that it starts out by giving you all of the features that you need, allowing you to expand functionality as your business grows.</p>
<p>As you learn how to use this CRM, you will be able to dip into their more complex features and start to incorporate them as your business grows. <strong>The CRM that you choose largely depends on what your business needs are as well as your goals and capabilities</strong>. Once you have identified these goals, you can select the HubSpot platform that will offer you the features you require to continue growing your business and improving the relationship that you have with your customers.</p>
