Social media is an instant, brief, two-way conversation with your audience, whereas Email marketing can deliver more content heavy and complex information. So should you integrate your Email and Social Media – Yes, we think you should!
One of the advantages of integrating the two mediums is list growth. Your email subscribers can be enticed to join your Facebook or Twitter page and your social followers can be migrated onto your email subscriber list.
So how do you do it? Woocom Campaigner has many options to help you integrate your Email and Social media…
Include social sharing links in your email campaigns
Allow your email subscribers to Like, Tweet and Share your Email messages. This will post the message to their Wall and News Feed for all of their friends and followers to see.
Include social buttons in your email template
If you didn’t have your social media accounts set up when you started email marketing, or your template is a little dated you may want to add links to your social pages to your template. You can then ask your email subscribers to like you or follow you. If you don’t ask, you don’t get right? Offering incentives such as special content, discount code or a competition can often provide the extra motivation to get people to hit that Like button.
