Email Marketing by the Book

Is Email Becoming the “Linchpin” of Social Media Marketing?

Friday, April 17, 2009 by Joel Book
Recently, I have observed more and more companies “dipping their toes” into social media marketing as a way to extend their message and offers to a broader audience. This “fish where the fish are” strategy is smart thinking because it enables brands to leverage the power of consumer referral an endorsement.

Unfortunately, most companies are not realizing the full potential of Social Media Marketing because they are not integrating this tactic with Email Marketing. In a recent ExactTarget webinar on top tactics for improving email marketing performance, David Daniels of Forrester Research, recommended that companies should “let social networks carry your message by implementing social sharing mechanisms in email campaigns.”

David’s point is that brands that approach social media marketing and email marketing as separate non-integrated strategies compromise their opportunity to maximize the combined power of these two channels to attract new customers and build brand advocacy.
