HubSpot is a solution for automating marketing and sales department tasks. The service allows organizations to engage audiences, increase the number of consumers and launch email campaigns and store the information needed for the work. In HubSpot, department employees can track various media channels: blogs, social media, advertising and other possible options from where user traffic can be tracked.

HubSpot offers the company to work in several directions at the same time: attracting attention, converting leads into sales, and reporting.

To increase conversion rates in Hubspot, teams have access to a number of features to optimize the look and feel of sales channels and audience engagement tools. These include: a landing page builder, a form builder tool, an email newsletter builder, and lead tracking tools. To analyze the received data, the service provides automatic reports. Reports can be selected from a template or generate custom ones.

HubSpot features:

  • Integrated CRM-system;

  • Designer of forms and landing pages;
  • Detailed reporting;
  • Tracking leads;
  • Management of social networks and blogs;

Interesting facts

  1. Before HubSpot hit the market, Shah (co-founder of the company) and Halligan (executive chairman) started the “HubSpot” blog to position their software as an inbound marketing solution.
  2. According to Forbes, HubSpot initially targeted smaller companies, but later began moving upward to serve larger enterprises with up to 1,000 employees.
  3. In 2012, HubSpot launched Inbound, a conference for HubSpot marketers, customers and partners. It attracted 2,800 attendees in its first year.
  4. A 2012 review in CRM Search found that HubSpot was the best “marketing solution,” combining a large number of tools into 1 package.

Halligan, who is co-founder and executive chairman of the company, calls himself a “sleeper guy.” Some of his most brilliant ideas have been born out of sleep. As a consequence, HubSpot’s headquarters has been converted into a sleep room.

Many of our readers have asked if we think TrustPulse is the best social proof app. With TrustPulse, you can easily create real-time notifications to build trust in your brand. So when your visitors land on your website, they’ll see people buying from you and enjoying your content.

With your questions in mind, we’ve put together this TrustPulse review, covering features, usability, and pricing so you can decide for yourself.

TrustPulse is a social verification app that allows you to create stunning, real-time notifications for your site and is trusted by over 1 million websites.

With a simple notification editor, you can create compelling social proof notifications. Every time someone performs an action on your website, you can trigger a new message to appear on your screen.

You can display a social proof message every time someone:

  • Makes a purchase;
  • Joins your newsletter;
  • Leaves a comment on your blog post;
  • And more;
  • In fact, you can highlight almost any type of conversion.

These notifications may be small, but they are powerful. That’s because they give your site visitors the confidence to take action on your site.

Many TrustPulse customers report an increase in conversions of up to 15%.

When someone new visits your website, they have no reason to trust you. After all, the internet is filled with a lot of exaggerated claims with little evidence to back them up.

This makes it difficult for people to cut through the noise to find products, services, and content that are truly worth their time.

MailChimp is quite easy to work with.

In my review I will describe in detail all the key points – registration, creating emails, setting up campaigns and reports on mailing results. I’m sure that after that you will easily understand all the nuances.

The advantages of the service include:

  • availability of a free tariff with a limit on the number of subscribers – no more than 2 thousand and on the number of sent letters – no more than 12 thousand per month;
  • easy integration of the platform with many other services;
  • the ability to work both from a desktop computer and from a smartphone;
  • reliability, which is proved by a huge number of users (more than 1 million people);
  • adaptive design and periodic modernization of the service.

The main disadvantage for users is the English-language interface and technical support.

3 types of tariffs

  • Free – use of the provided functionality is absolutely free of charge. Unlike paid packages, it lacks some functionality;
  • Grow – the cost of using the tariff plan is determined by the number of subscribers. So, 500 subscribers will cost you $10 monthly, 2500 people – $30 every month. Compared to the first tariff, the set of useful functions has been expanded here;
  • Pro – the cost of services for subscribers is calculated similarly to the second tariff, but additionally a fixed fee of $199 is charged for the use of effective marketing tools of the platform.

MailChimp is deservedly popular among professionals, the English version is practically easy to work with. It is an excellent platform for both beginners and those who already have experience with similar systems.
