- Social media use actually positively correlates to email use Some of this not surprising: More web savvy will tend to consume more of all online mediums Esp’s are increasingly adding social sharing tools to their emails and companies & individuals are adding links to their online presence on twitter, fb, linkedin, etc
- Let’s start with social
- The first reason, is just the incredible ROI that email marketing has to offer. According to the DMA, across all industries, not just retail, when you spend $1 doing email marketing, you an expect a return on your investment of $42. That’s the best ROI for any marketing method. Period. Direct Mail hovers in the teens, and all other channels deliver less. So it’s a smart investment of time and money.
- Leverage social to… Increase size & quality of you email list Make your email message more relevant Increase your email engagement Extend reach of your email programs Build brand & customer loyalty
- As mentioned the right message, sent to the right person, still does not mean anything unless it’s sent at the right time. Your email timeline should be created based on when prospects need to hear from you. Decide what factors come into play, the seasons/holidays, past purchase dates, anniversaries, or email responses for example. Time your message with changes in prospect data and sales cycle stages. Also include occasional informational emails to encourage loyalty and build your relationship. While this may appear difficult, you can automate many of these communications so that they run efficiently in the background with little disruption to your daily or weekly workload. So lets look at some possible key dates that you should be looking at, and some examples of how Campaigner customers use them.
