Marketing and sales teams love HubSpot for its ability to easily connect marketing, sales, content management, and customer service. But anything good can be made better. Since you’re already using HubSpot, why not do even more from right within the platform?

With Sinch MessageMedia SMS for HubSpot, you can easily integrate text messaging into every aspect of the system, helping you connect better with customers. This lets you do things like have one-on-one text conversations from the CRM or send out meeting reminders from the Sales Hub. And now you can also conduct a customer satisfaction survey from the Service Hub and create a mass text to a lead nurture list from the Marketing Hub. 

Why does this matter to HubSpot users?

With SMS for HubSpot, marketing, sales, and service teams have an easier time managing their activities across the entire flywheel, they become more efficient and effective – and they love HubSpot even more.

Why SMS is key to your growth across the customer journey

Marketers know it’s important to be where your audience is. 

And these days, that’s not just one channel. 

Most people use text message, email, social media, and phone calls, every day – and they expect the companies they interact with to use those tools as well. In fact, according to a recent Sinch Message Media survey, 35% of consumers prefer companies interact with them via SMS message, while 31% prefer using email to start conversations with companies.

Take Black Friday sales, for example.

  • Say you’re browsing Facebook and see an ad for a cool T-shirt on sale for 30% off.  You’re intrigued, but a friend calls — and you forget about the sale. 
  • Then, you get an email from the brand a couple hours later. This time, you click on a link in the email and add the T-shirt and a couple hats in your cart but forget to check out. 
  • Later, you get an SMS message reminding you about your abandoned cart. It might even offer free shipping to push you to complete your purchase.
  • When your order leaves the warehouse, you might receive another email or SMS message allowing you to track your shipment. 
  • Once your package is in hand, you might get another SMS message checking in to make sure you’re happy with your order. 
  • After all those touchpoints with the brand, you feel personally cared for and eager to seek out their products next time you’re in the market for casual clothes. 
  • And it’s all because the company connected with you on the platforms you’re already using — at every step of the buying process.

In short, a seamless omnichannel strategy like this reinforces a brand’s message, encourages the purchase, and creates a really positive customer experience. It’s a 1-2-3 recipe for success … and one you can replicate.

At this point, you might be thinking, “How am I possibly going to add ANOTHER outreach channel to my list? I’m already dealing with so many.” This is where SMS for HubSpot gets very, very cool.
