Approach / Strategy Adopted by Vico Software

Since its inception, Vico had been facing tough challenges to gain a competitive edge in the market. As a young company, it was vulnerable to survive and succeed the competitions from comparatively bigger and established companies. Neither, it was able to benchmark the marketing budget of its competitors, nor could it achieve its marketing objectives through traditional marketing channels. Later, the company decided to adopt the inbound approach and executed the following strategies:

  • Development of attractive content and its scheduling with appropriate tools.
  • Lead generation through HubSpot’s Landing Page tool.
  • Lead management and tracking through the HubSpot’s Lead Management tool.
  • Integration of HubSpot Lead tracking system with Salesforce CRM.
  • Optimization of website traffic and its content search results with the help of HubSpot’s Keyword analysis and SEO tools, and
  • Continued comparison with its competitors with the help of HubSpot’s Web Analytics tool.
