Shot 2: HubSpot Marketing Feature of the Week

New drag and drop email editor.  Nate (Nathaniel Medina) from the product marketing team says that users are saving on average 12 minutes of time creating and publishing emails.

Email Better.

Shot 3: HubSpot Sales Feature of the Week

Adding a contact to your phone contacts and then in 3 clicks.  Why is this good?  You get to have the contact on your phone so you can identify them when they contact you.

Bonus tip: if you put in the Company field (on iPhone/iOS) what you are talking to them about or what they enquired about when they ring then you will be instantly reminded.  Thank you Danny for the tip!

Answer Better.

Shot 4: Marketing Gotcha of the Week

If you are running workflows against custom properties and you have an identical question in a Lead Ad it will get created in the Lead Ad Properties.  So you need to check that property too!

Check Better.

Shot 5: Marketing Tip of the Week

Email newsletters we love

  • What the AFF - daily tactical round up of tips and tools for digital marketers eg Facebook hacks
  • Morning Brew - daily update on what is happening in technology and business, very useful for understanding consumer and business trends.

Eg WTAFF alerted me to some interesting stats such as this recent nugget about LinkedIn video:

“According to LinkedIn, users are 20x more likely to share a video on the platform than any other type of post.

In terms of paid ads, users now spend 300% more time watching video ads compared to the time spent looking at static Sponsored Content.”

And Morning Brew introduced me to the term ‘three comma club’ (someone who is a billionaire).

Inbox Better.

Canva

If you quickly want to create a email header, change a Facebook cover, create some social images this is a great place to start.

Stencil is another one that is great for creating social images:

Design Better.
