Using HubSpot For Content Marketing

 

Before answering the question of what exactly is HubSpot, one must first define its close-related marketing concept “inbound marketing”. Inbound marketing, also may be known as content marketing, was proposed by Hubspot founders Brian Halligen and Dharmesh Shah to help companies provide valuable content to potential customers during their user journey. According to HubSpot’s definition, the process of inbound marketing can be divided into four stages:

 

• Attraction: With the help of SEO, content marketing etc, high-quality content should be created to solve previously unknown problems of users at the information level, so as to increase the perception of the company and develop unknown users into website visitors.
• Conversion: At this stage, website visitors are cultivated into qualified potential customers through for example filling in website contact forms.
• Follow-up: In this step, qualified potential customers should be followed up and taken care of under one-to-one communication with the sales team.
• Sales: Under the maintenance of the sales team, potential customers become customers. Companies continue to follow up with customers to form a word-of-mouth effect and sell more products/services.

 

In order for the inbound marketing process to successfully match the user journey of potential customers, the processes in the three corporate areas of marketing, sales, and service must be interconnected and coordinated.

HubSpot marketing automation tools came into being. Hubspot’s products are composed of Marketing (marketing software), CRM software and Sales (sales software).
