Leverage older blog posts for new offers
Spend as much time/effort promoting as you do as creating. Promotin doesn’t stop when you hit send on a n email. More blogs/ social
70% of our new leads come organically from old offersWhen we create a new offer and utilize the old offers we start to see organic traffic to the new offersThis costs us MQLs but it increases net new contacts
And not only engage not only does blogging help you generate more website traffic. It also enables you to effectively convert that traffic into leads.
And it’s not just more web traffic that you’ll get. Blogging businesses also generate 70% more leads. Remember those educational posts targeted to attract the right people to your site? The ones that we said define a business blog? Well once we’ve attracted those right people to our site, our blog can also help us to easily convert them into leads.
Find good performing past blogs and add new offer/cta to old blog postWe used to write one blog per offer, we’re focussing on 3 blogs per offer. Either you or an influencer.
Did you hit your overall goal?How was the traffic to your landing pages?Did you convert on your call to actions or did you expect a higher conversion rate?Did your prospects engage on Twitter or are they more active on Facebook?Did you tag a PPC campaign as well?HubSpot’s always allowed you to create all of the assets you need to pull off an inbound marketing campaignBut what we’ve never done is given customers the ability to see it all in one placeHence, last week we launched the Campaigns app, which gives marketers a place a dashboard to aggregate all of the assets of their inbound marketing campaign in one place, and see how the entire campaign is performing against your goals, and even how the individual assets are performing as well
