Common Misconceptions
Misconception Response
Doesn’t build the listMA does require leads, but complete systems include functionality for lead generation programs (events, etc.)
Too email focused – not social
While MA started with email, most solutions today offer or integrate to social including social profiles, tracking, campaigns, sign-on, and promotions.
Robotic, irrelevant, spam – not about the customer
MA can be used for good marketing or bad marketing, but behavioral segmentation and 1:1 targeting usually improves relevance
