To understand how HubSpot works, it's helpful to know just a little about where HubSpot, the company, came from. It started back in 2005 as a resource for marketers.
Back then, they offered tools and resources that helped companies get started with inbound marketing.
Everything from hosting your website to blogging, social media posting, email marketing, and more, were combined on one single platform that can be accessed from anywhere.
Now, years down the line, HubSpot offers that original software in the form of a complete CRM, which includes specific software and tools for sales, marketing, service, and operations teams, PLUS an epic content management system (the HubSpot CMS).
Marketing emails range from mildly personal to completely irrelevant. And it’s not always great for marketers crafting the messages, either. If you have to beg, borrow, and steal to get help from designers or IT, it’s hard to wow your recipient.
With HubSpot’s email marketing tools, everything you need is baked right in. Design and send professional emails independently, and optimize to improve performance. Since it’s powered by your HubSpot CRM, you know the data you’re using to customize your emails is accurate.
