In 2015, a new study completed by an MIT Sloan MBA student, researched the ROI of using HubSpot’s Marketing software and implementing an Inbound Marketing plan.
What did they find?
Companies experienced not only a high growth of their leads online, but the majority of companies saw a significant increase in sales revenue within the first year. Those companies who implemented an inbound marketing plan and utilized the HubSpot Software were able to objectively identify and quantify the sources of their growth and validate their return on investment. So let’s look at some of the results.
Based on the number of leads per month a compnay had prior to starting to use HubSpot:
Companies with less than 10 leads saw:
- 6.46x growth in leads in the first 6 months
- 6.98x growth in 1 year
- 8.52x growth in 2 years
Companies with 10-49 leads saw:
- 4.24 growth in leads in the first 6 months
- 4.80x growth in 1 year
- 5.00 growth in 2 years
Companies with 50-499 leads saw:
- 2.23x growth in 6 months
- staying the same at 1 year
- 2.66x growth in leads after 2 years
Companies with 500-4999 leads saw:
- 1.04x growth of new leads in 6 months
- 1.62x increase in 1 year
- 1.28x increase in 2 years
Overall when companies used HubSpot Software to run their inbound marketing plan, they saw an increase of leads by:
- 3.15x in 6 months
- 4.77x in 1 year
- 5.72x in 2 years
These increased leads resulted in 72% of the companies experiencing a significant increase in sales revenue within the first year and the ability to objectively evaluate where that growth came from.
