Hi everyone -- Dharmesh here (one of the HubSpot founders). I’m excited to share with you what HubSpot has been working on, and get your feedback. Today, we’ve taken our email marketing tool, and brought it into the free HubSpot CRM. I know you have many options for email marketing tools, some of which are also free. So, why HubSpot? Sure, our templates are beautiful (in the eyes of this beholder), our deliverability is one of the best in the business, and our editor is intuitive and easy-to-use -- but what really sets HubSpot’s email marketing tool apart is our CRM. This isn’t just contact segmentation. This is a complete CRM that your entire team can leverage to create delightful experiences for your customers. Personalize your emails for each recipient, analyze your performance, and use your learnings to improve your email strategy over time. With free email marketing in the HubSpot CRM, it’s never been easier to get started and quickly see value from the HubSpot platform. Give it a try, and let us know what you think in the comments below. The HubSpot team and I are here to answer any questions. Thanks for your support.

@arlogilbert I'm excited for folks to try it out. I think it's one of the best products HubSpot has built and integrates beautifully with HubSpot CRM (also free). Let us know what you think. Thanks.

@dharmesh I have been waiting for this for a while. Grown frustrated with MailChimp and I'm thrilled I can now have newsletter campaigns managed within HS for free. Thanks Hubspot folks!

@tschellenbach Thanks, Thierry. We're trying to have a "legit" offering in our free and starter tiers that pulls together what most companies need for an integrated customer experience.

What's the limit on # of contacts or sends we can do? This is interesting.

@noahkagan 2,000 sends a month. Perhaps later this year we make a special AppSumo offering?

@dharmesh It's been a long ride my friend. Perhaps :) Hope you're amazing!

@noahkagan All is great here. 13 years into HubSpot and still having an awesome time. Hope all is well with you. Cheers.

@noahkagan @dharmesh Is there no limits of contacts?
Rahul Mehta
This is wonderful. This is HUGE!! Kudos to @dharmesh and @hubspot . I am a big fan and I have my product - RoboAuditor, on HubSpot Connect Ecosystem. My Upvote with a BIG SMILE :D

@hubspot @_rahulmehta Thanks for the kind words and support. Rahul. We're investing a lot in our APIs and developer experience -- so your experience as a partner should get even better.
Mark Lindquist
Hubspot always makes the best products, a product-driven company if there ever was one. Really looking forward to this one.
Andy Cook
This looks great! 👏 We just got our HubSpot CRM running again the other week and closed one of our biggest customers today. Excited to check out the new free email marketing products now too.

@andygcook Thanks, and congrats on closing that big customer.

@dharmesh shah : Do you have SMS marketing platform?
Dharmesh Shah
Maker
@pkthinking Not directly inside of HubSpot -- but we have third-party partners that provide SMS functionality in our app marketplace.

Free email marketing software. From HubSpot. How can you go wrong? I still need to dig deeper to test all of the features. But it looks really cool so far.
Dharmesh Shah

Thanks, Brian. Good to see you (or, more accurately your avatar). Feels like it's been a really, really long time since we chatted in the HubSpot atrium. Hope all is well.
Elicere Inc
@dharmesh You are not too far away from a fully operational Applicant Tracking System. We use the CRM tool for ATS and had to perform our mailings through Mailchimp. You just removed one of our integrations. Thanks! Now if you could just... :)
Dharmesh Shah
Maker
@elicereinc As it turns out, I know of several companies that are using the HubSpot CRM for applicant/candidate tracking. It's one of those "unexpected" use cases (we're not in the HR software space). Stay tuned, because although we're not specifically in that space, the HubSpot platform is going to get very, very powerful soon making this kind of creative use even easier.
Dani Hart
Excited to see this added to the Hubspot suite. Looking forward to checking it out!

At first glance this looks awesome, cant wait to try it out

@rj_farley Can't wait for you to try it out. Let us know what you think. All feedback appreciated.

Lol gg @ MailChimp
Hiten Shah
This is great, HubSpot introducing a free email marketing tool. What's next? Unlimited sends and subscribers for free? I'm sure someone will do it eventually.
Dharmesh Shah
Maker
@hnshah Thanks, Hiten. Don't think we're quite ready for the unlimited sends and subscribers for free thing, but this was an important step. :)
Kristian Naess
Amazing product and concept. Tried it out for a short while, and realized I wanted to change the margins for the text. Is it possible to do that? If so, how?
Shay Redmond
Maker
Hi @kristian_naess, thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it! At the moment we apply a default margin around each module in the email to make sure things have a sensible default out of the box but we're working on making this margin customisable asap.
Olivia Bolkhovsky
Such a no brainer for any startup! Used so many marketing automation tools throughout my career and by far Hubspot has continued to be the most enjoyable one and the easiest to get up and running! #gohubspot
Dharmesh Shah

@olivia_olya Thanks for the kind words. If there's anything we can do to make HubSpot more enjoyable, let us know.
Matthew Hansen
Exciting stuff!!! Is there any basic automation available. Also, wondering how this compares to the Marketing Hub Starter capabilities. Cheers and good luck prepping for that Keynote 😊
Shay Redmond
Maker
@hansenthought Hi Matthew! We do have some basic email automation as part of the pop up forms tool, you can see an automated email as a "kickback" to someone when they submit a pop up form, and we're working on bringing this functionality to embedded forms too. Compared to the Marketing Hub Starter tier, it's very similar, the main differences being that there's a lower monthly sending limit and the emails themselves will include a "HubSpot" branded logo at the bottom of them. Hope this helps :)

I was a beta tester for this on the enterprise edition thru my job. glad to see it's available for normal profiles as well! LOVE the addition!!
Shanelle Mullin
Looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out.

Congrats Dharmesh. From aligning vectors, to pioneering building dope tools for list growth it's been really cool to see HubSpot grow. Nice move :)

It is nice one

Powerful and simple!
