How Social Media Might Influence Your Email Marketing Prowess

By Sheena Hartland


As part of a promotional strategy, email marketing is absolutely crucial. Done effectively it can help increase sales, profits and improve the value of a firm. By learning how to use social media, you can add to that campaign and hopefully improve upon it. The important thing to remember to do first is market mailing templates, so you can build brand identity.
Most companies have a branding strategy and this strategy often involves re-branding each year or even several times a year, depending on the firm. It involves changing logos and making sure that fit into the image you wish to project. Whatever branding is chosen, it needs to be in every mailing shot. These social icons usual have links to your social media pages.


Mailshots should contain various links, all of which should be checked to make sure they're working. Social share icons also need to be in the mail because these will allow your prospects, as well as existing customers, to share your information with their friends. What you want is for people online to be discussion what you've written, as well as chatting about your product or service.

It really goes without saying that all firms must have a website. They act as a base for your promotional campaigns and act as s funnel for prospect too. They are also great at helping to develop a mailing list. A blog these days is pretty much something that should be on all websites. The blog should not be a pure sales blog, trying to sell products to prospects. It should also be updated pretty often, keeping people abreast of product developments and giving them important information.

Blogging can really help to launch a product and the best way to blog is to provide information that is of relevance to the customer. These days it can be hard to encourage readers to part with their email address so you must give them a reason to do so. But first it has to be visible, which means that people need to know about your newsletter. Make sure that on each blog page there's a box allowing them to sign up.

The idea is to try and encourage as many people as possible to sign up and receive updates and alerts. A way of doing this through social media is to use things like Facebook as a tool for getting subscribers. A tab that encourages people to subscribe can easily be put on your Facebook page. Check your mail marketing platform, as they might have tools to help with this. Make the application is visible to the potential customer and easily accessible from the main page.

Many social media outlets allow for using newsletter pages and linking to them. LinkedIn allow the user to place links of their pages that when clicked will lead to your sign-up page. Subscription forms are usually available from most social networking sites so you should be able to post links to your signup page from these.

Using email marketing through social network platforms is often a matter of common sense. People like incentives so offering an incentive to join your list makes perfect sense, something like a free book or report. Another way is to offer special discounts as people often need an incentive to give out their email address.
