Data-Driven Inbound Marketing

You cannot overstate the importance of providing your donor base with relevant content that demonstrates your thought leadership and domain space knowledge. Products like Hubspot’s all-in-one inbound marketing software use a data-driven content strategy tool that analyzes what your audience searches for and suggests which topics you should cover on your website, blog posts and social media channels.

This user-friendly marketing software also allows you to optimize your website’s SEO by employing a real-time keyword suggestion tool. This feature pinpoints the best times to post and identifies key industry influencers with whom you should share your content. It also uses automated drip email campaigns to drive donor conversions.

Perhaps most importantly, this marketing software tracks when and how your audience interacts with your channels and determines the ROI of every campaign you launch.
