Tip: Email and Social increase conversions

Tip:

Integrating email marketing and social media;

  • extends your reach (social sharing puts your name in front of those with similar needs and interests to your existing customers)
  • provides a great acquisition tool to build your opt-in list
  • increases conversions at no additional cost

An example – new conversions:

  • Imagine you send an email campaign to 50,000 contacts
  • 0.5 % share your content, with an average of 100 network contacts each
  • 250 direct recipients share, which means your message reaches a further 25, 000 contacts
  • Remember it has been shared by a friend or colleague, but we still assume only 1% convert

That equates to 250 extra conversions, with no additional cost!
