Digital communication has become moreopen and social

E-mail is NOT dead
But social network usage is growing quickly
![Page 7: Email social media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54bd34f64a795930268b4669/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Millennials are just as likely as most older generations to use e-mail regularly
![Page 8: Email social media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54bd34f64a795930268b4669/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
There are chinks in e-mail’s armor, however
![Page 9: Email social media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54bd34f64a795930268b4669/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Text messaging is more likely to challenge e-mail than social media will

Key Takeaways: Consumer Usage
The death of e-mail has been exaggerated.
Communications are more open and increasingly involve social media.
Consumers want to share opinions about brands.
Social may not be as big a threat to e-mail as text messaging.

The impact of social media weighs heavily on the minds of e-mail marketers…

…so they are investing in both

2010: The year social media makes e-mail even stronger
37% of marketers already use e-mail to promote social networks and another 31% are planning to (Econsultancy and Adestra).
55% of retailers who use Twitter link to their Twitter account in their e-mail campaigns (Email Data Source and Goodmail).
Integrating the two channels is the fourth-most-important e-mail marketing initiative for 2010, business executives say (StrongMail).

Sharing is shifting
5 billion pieces of content shared every day Users send more traffic to news sites than
Google News does (Hitwise, March 2010)
86% of sharing activity still takes place via e-mail, with 10% on Facebook and Twitter Twitter offers enormous reach potential, but e-mail
leads in conversions (Q3 2009)
Among social media sites, Facebook leads in sharing 44% used Gigya widget to share on Facebook;
29% shared via Twitter (February 2010)

Internet users have little time for irrelevant newsletters or promotions

Consumers use multiple ways to interact with a company or brand

Once upon a time, Conan might have used e-mail to market this …
Instead, he used only Twitter.
The results: Most shows sold out within hours. Twitter followers felt special.

Shift the control to the consumer
Use the combination of e-mail and social media to provide multiple ways for consumers to interact with your company.
Brand interactions in social media may be less likely to be perceived as spam.“The great thing about social media is it’s completely permission based. Consumers can just unfollow or unfan you and they’ll never see you again.”—Kristin Hersant, StrongMail

Marketers are far more confident of their ability to measure ROI from e-mail than from social media
![Page 34: Email social media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54bd34f64a795930268b4669/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Success metrics for e-mail marketing are well established

But the No. 1 metric used to track social media success is site traffic
![Page 36: Email social media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54bd34f64a795930268b4669/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Few marketers are looking for hard metrics from integrating social & e-mail

Key Takeaways: Consumer and Marketer Usage
E-mail remains a powerful way to reach consumers, even as they spend more time with social media.
Younger Internet users still use e-mail, but their communications are spread across several channels, making it more challenging to reach them.
Marketers are increasing investments in both e-mail and social media.
![Page 39: Email social media](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54bd34f64a795930268b4669/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Key Takeaways: Maximizing the Connection
If you haven’t started integrating e-mail and social, now is the time. “Share with a friend” is only the first step.
Marketers must also analyze sharing behavior, find their best advocates and understand how their e-mail and social media lists compare. Give consumers multiple avenues to interact.
Some may want discounts via e-mail, others via Twitter. Bring e-mail marketing rigor to social media
metrics.
