HubSpot Marketing Software

Free, Starter, Basic, Professional or Enterprise?

Perhaps one of the hardest things about HubSpot marketing software is knowing which level of service you need. They currently offer five levels: Free, Starter, Basic, Professional and Enterprise. Choosing the right HubSpot package for your business boils down to just a few key factors:

  • Your needs and goals
  • The budget you have to play with
  • Your commitment to using the inbound marketing methodology 
By using all of the above as a frame of reference, you’ll be well on your way to choosing the right package for your needs. I’m also going to get into the specific features of each HubSpot marketing package so you can confidently choose the right one for you.

HubSpot Marketing Free ($0/month) and Starter ($68/month) packages offer businesses the building blocks to get started with inbound marketing, such as: collecting leads, analysing website activity and measuring success.

What is a HubSpot Partner?

HubSpot’s Agency Partner Program helps agencies grow their businesses through inbound marketing and sales services to their clients. What does this mean? Basically, it means when an organisation engages a HubSpot partner to help them with marketing or sales for their business, they are going to see results. This is because HubSpot partners receive special partner resources and training that significantly help to increase their revenue per client, as well as tools and strategies for implementing ROI-centric services. Furthermore, every HubSpot partner receives a HubSpot channel account manager that provides comprehensive business consulting, with an in-depth focus on sales and revenue creation. Basically, HubSpot partners have all the tools and skills that make them some of the best marketing agencies out there. That’s why when organisations work with a HubSpot partner, they get the results they are looking for and so much more.

Why is TIMCo a HubSpot Partner?

In 2009 TIMCo’s Managing Director, Stacie Chalmers was attending a marketing conference in Boston. At the time she was employed as a marketing manager for a local company. There she was introduced to the term Inbound Marketing and the company HubSpot. Not only did she love how easy HubSpot software was to use, but as she learned more about the inbound marketing methodology, she soon realised this change in marketing was something all businesses needed to know. The internet and social media was changing the way people were buying and marketers needed to change the way they were communicating and engaging with their buyers if they wanted to stay in business. As a previous owner of a small business Stacie has a passion for helping small business owners realise their dreams and wanted to help them adopt this new way of marketing. Thankfully the inbound marketing methodology and HubSpot software made that relatively easy. So she set out learning all about the inbound marketing methodology and how to use the HubSpot software so she could share this with other business owners.
