Building a Strong Foundation: Your HubSpot SMS Subscriber List

Before reaping the rewards of SMS marketing, you need a solid foundation – a permission-based subscriber list. Here are some effective strategies to build a high-quality list within HubSpot:

  • Opt-in Forms: Integrate clear and concise opt-in forms directly into your website, landing pages, HubSpot CTAs (calls to action), and marketing materials. Clearly communicate the benefits of subscribing and the frequency of messages they can expect.
  • HubSpot Workflows: Leverage the power of HubSpot workflows to automate the opt-in process. Trigger workflows upon form submissions or website visits to automatically add contacts to your list.
  • Lead Magnets: Offer valuable resources, such as e-books, white papers, or early access to promotions, in exchange for phone number opt-ins. This incentivizes subscriptions while providing upfront value.
  • Existing Database: With explicit prior consent, reach out to your current customers and leads in HubSpot and offer them the option to subscribe to SMS updates. Capture their communication preferences within a custom property on their contact record.
