The idea that email newsletters are beat-up old has-beens being overtaken by social media, such as Facebook, just isn't true. In fact, email is the number one preferred communication method for both personal and marketing communications and in terms of daily use. 77% of people using online prefer to get marketing messages (permission based) through email compared to other marketing channels. Direct mail was next (9%), with only 4% choosing Facebook and 1% Twitter. This is according to the 2012 Channel Preference Survey by ExactTarget which was conducted late last year. This survey also showed that email drives more consumer purchases than any other marketing channel/method. Email marketing achieves huge results. It has the highest return on investment (ROI) compared to other marketing channels with a return of almost US$41 per dollar spent. Mobile's return per dollar spent was US$10.51 and social media was US$12.71. However, we definitely believe you can enhance your email marketing by using other channels such as social media, just don't throw email marketing out of the window!
