The folks at HubSpot have been busy this summer, announcing their acquisition of Performable in June and their HubSpot App Marketplace last week. App markets are quite the fashion right now, and HubSpot’s joins the Eloqua AppCloud announced in June. Both events mark a continued expansion of their product.

SalesPredict is a perfect example: a small vendor with a powerful system that just launched earlier this year. Results appear as lists in a CRM interface or as scores on a marketing databaset. This is somewhat different from predictive modeling vendors who have focused primarily on helping marketers with lead scoring.

Summary: Hubspot offers a bundle of Web traffic generation and lead management features in one low-cost package. Marketing automation vendors entering this market are essentially betting that they can make their systems powerful enough to be useful and easy enough for a small business to run. Hubspot has accepted this challenge.

For many smaller companies, a suite like Adobe, Oracle , IBM , Salesforce.com , SAS , or Teradata isn’t an option and would be overkill if it were. Some vendors do this better than others. Terminus imports opportunity stage from the CRM system and can use this in segmentation. Vendemore ( reviewed here ) is another option.

I only mention this because I’ve recently been looking at a lot of new (to me) vendors and haven’t been able to write about many of them. This makes it a system for both small business and service vendors: two of my four themes. This will remind marketing automation aficionados of HubSpot, which has made a similar journey.

The main basis for my prediction is high growth that vendors reported in 2013, and in particular a trend towards higher revenue per client among the vendors who share that information with me. There’s still a bit of selection bias – it won’t work if a company isn’t on the Internet – but the impact is obviously much less.

HubSpot also has many micro-business clients but is not focused on them exclusively and – probably as a result – has a slightly different feature set: more Web traffic generation and no built-in contact management or shopping cart. There are plenty of other vendors serving micro-businesses. MakesBridge is another contender.

To me, it looks like a reaction to the success of other low cost small business systems, including HubSpot , Act-On Software , and Pardot. HubSpot and Act-On have similar pricing to Spark, while Pardot runs a bit higher. Those vendors have starting prices around $300 per month and offer built-in shopping carts and CRM.

So, I thought I’d share what I’m finding most useful right now: First – if you have marketing automation or CRM, there are probably new tools just waiting in the platforms you already own. I work with HubSpot, Pardot and Marketo and the interfaces are getting easier and much more similar. Data modeling has gotten easier too.

On the other hand, there are still plenty of new entrants; few pioneering vendors have failed or consolidated; and related software vendors (in this case, CRM, email and Web site management systems) haven’t yet introduced me-too products.
