Written by David McMahon | 18 Oct 2024 // 4:29 AM

Are you seeking ways to achieve more with limited resources? Marketing automation is your answer. This guide explores how HubSpot’s free tools can automate manual tasks, acting as a virtual assistant to enhance productivity. Dive into automated list segmentation, email segmentation, and form automation to streamline your marketing efforts.


1. Automated List Segmentation (00:32)

Navigate to CRM and select Lists to organise your contacts effectively. HubSpot enables the creation of Active and Static Lists. Active Lists update automatically based on contact properties, whereas Static Lists capture a snapshot in time. With a Free Account, create up to 10 Active Lists and 1000 Static Lists. Use these lists to target campaigns, assign sales reps, or create tasks, enhancing your marketing strategy.

2. E-Mail Segmentation (02:56)

HubSpot’s email tools allow for one automated action post-email. Utilise templates to craft your message effortlessly. Automation can add contacts to lists based on their interactions, such as clicking a link, helping you identify engaged users for future campaigns. This approach optimises lead nurturing by creating targeted lists for sales follow-up.

3. Form Automation (05:08)

Incorporate automation after form submissions by sending automated emails. Create forms using templates, customise them with drag-and-drop functionality, and automate responses to provide immediate engagement. This ensures that contacts receive the information or offers they signed up for, maintaining a seamless user experience.

Checklist for Effective Marketing Automation:

[ ] Set up Active and Static Lists for effective contact segmentation.
