Identifying 6 of the Best Apps for Startups

LeadsBridge

“LeadsBridge connects HubSpot with the most popular advertising platforms like Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn. By doing so, startups can market their businesses without interruption. For example,” Gabriele Tontini, the Chief Marketing Officer at LeadsBridge, says, “they can generate more and better leads with Facebook Lead Ads and immediately follow up with their leads. They can leverage their HubSpot data to retarget their customer database with very specific and highly effective campaigns.”

There are few things more important than data, and LeadsBridge wants startups to be able to get the most of every bit of data they encounter. This is why they designed their service to automatically populate your audiences on Facebook and Google. You can even select and edit your Audience Source as needed, so you always know what data is coming in, where it’s going, and how it’s going to be used.

At the same time, users “can track the conversions generated offline and finally close the loop between the online and offline. All these processes can be automated with LeadsBridge, so startups can focus on what they really need: the growth.”

QuarterOne

“QuarterOne is a reporting & forecasting software that helps forward-thinking sales & finance teams unlock value from their CRM,” Louise Rayner, the Marketing Lead at QuarterOne, says. 

“It helps management teams of small businesses get an instant, meaningful forecast straight from their sales pipeline. By connecting to existing CRM systems such as HubSpot and Pipedrive, and by automating all the number-crunching, QuarterOne provides a clearer and more up-to-date view of the future that our customers can trust.”

Rybbon

“Regardless of the industry,” Jignesh Shah, CEO of Rybbon, says, “startups everywhere face many challenges — limited funds, lack of resources and an unknown brand, to name a few. How can you draw customers to your products if they don’t know who you are? You may have a solid marketing plan, but is that enough?”

“With Rybbon,” Shah continues, “you can cost-effectively incentivize prospects and customers while promoting positive brand recognition.” To help you see how Rybbon can take your marketing campaign to the next level, Shah has provided us with a few real-world examples:

• Webinars: By offering a low-cost eGift, let’s say a $10.00 Starbucks gift card to those who register, you can boost attendance by up to 70% 
• Surveys: You need insight into your brand, your product development process, and your overall customer satisfaction. However, getting the quantity and quality of the responses required to make smart business decisions can be a challenge. By incentivizing customers with a gift card of their choice, you can improve response rates by up to 100%
• Referrals: How can you get customers to refer you? By incentivizing customers with a choice of gift cards, you can increase referrals by up to 30%.

“Because Rybbon seamlessly integrates with HubSpot,” Shah concludes, “you’ll be up and running in no time without IT involvement. Once Rybbon becomes part of your marketing campaign processes, workflows will automate the gift-giving process, thus eliminating time-consuming and manual administrative effort. Since digital gifts are sent from you and not from a third-party, you’re able to improve brand recognition and keep messaging consistent.”

And if you’re worried about losing money on digital gifts that aren’t redeemed, you can relax, because Rybbon takes the stress out of budgetary concerns by providing a 100% refund for all unclaimed gifts!

DepositFix

According to Denis Lunev, founder of DepositFix, “Lots of startups have very unique requests about how they would like to accept payments, and we’ve seen dozens and dozens of variations.” 

Lunev and his team at DepositFix know how important it is for businesses to be able to seamlessly connect their e-commerce and marketing efforts, which is why they created DepositFix. In addition to bank-level security,  Lunev says, “We can build custom solutions for our clients when they have a complex case, but best of all we can recommend them the best use cases and practices that they haven’t thought about themselves.”

Users can also easily stay informed about any new payments, any updates to existing payments, with the help of DepositFix’s automatic timeline updates.

If you use HubSpot, then DepositFix is designed for you. Lunev says that “I’d encourage anyone who uses HubSpot — and who accept payments — to reach out to us just to get our opinion about the best solution for their particular case.”
