There's a common misconception among many marketers that email is dying in the face of social media marketing. While social media is a hot marketing channel, this opinion couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, when used effectively, email marketing and social media can actually have a long, happy, and fulfilling marriage.
It's true -- email marketing and social media should actually go hand in hand.
Why Social Media Makes Email More Powerful
An email without social media is essentially an island, but with social media, the content in your email marketing has much better potential to spread, helping you extend the reach of your email marketing substantially. Adding social media sharing buttons to your emails allows recipients to share content in your email with their networks, enabling your email content to reach more people than just your email list. In addition, the incorporation of social elements into email messages makes consumers even more engaged with their email inbox.
The key is knowing how to use social media to effectively leverage its power in your email marketing.
