Step 1: Prepare Your Offline Event Data
- Compile a list of attendees from your offline event. This could be from sign-in sheets, registration lists, or any other data collection method you used.
- Ensure the list contains essential data like names, emails, phone numbers, company names, etc.
Step 2: Log in to HubSpot CRM
- Go to the HubSpot CRM homepage and log in using your credentials.
Step 3: Navigate to Contacts
- On the main dashboard, click on the "Contacts" tab at the top to access the contacts section.
Step 4: Import Your Offline Event Attendees
- Click on the "Import" button, typically located on the right side.
- Choose "Start an import," and select "File from computer."
- Upload your compiled list of attendees. HubSpot supports .CSV file formats.
Step 5: Map Fields
- During the import process, you'll be asked to map fields from your .CSV file to the contact properties in HubSpot. This ensures that the data is stored correctly.
- Map fields like "First Name," "Last Name," "Email," etc., to their corresponding fields in HubSpot.
Step 6: Create a Custom Property for Event Tracking
- To specifically track these contacts as offline event attendees, it's helpful to create a custom property.
- Navigate to "Settings" (gear icon) > "Properties."
- Click "Create a Property" and name it something like "Offline Event Attended."
- Set the field type to "Single-line text" or "Dropdown select" if you host multiple offline events.
Step 7: Tag Attendees with the Event Name
- Go back to your list of imported contacts.
- Filter or search for the recently imported list.
- Bulk select all the attendees.
- Update the custom property "Offline Event Attended" with the specific name or details of the event.
Step 8: Utilize HubSpot's Filtering for Future Engagements
- In the future, you can use HubSpot's filtering tools to segment contacts based on the offline events they've attended.
- This allows you to send targeted follow-ups, offers, or other engagement campaigns to those who attended specific offline events.
Step 9: Monitor and Analyze Engagement
- Use HubSpot's analytics tools to monitor the engagement levels of your offline event attendees.
- Analyze open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, etc., for campaigns specifically targeted towards these attendees to measure ROI and improve future campaigns.
Step 10: Continually Update for Future Offline Events
- Every time you host a new offline event, repeat this process to keep your CRM up-to-date and to ensure that you're leveraging the power of segmentation for your marketing and sales efforts.
