Nice overview, Becs, and completely agree – social is a great awareness builder, but the true one-to-one stuff comes via email.

Just out of curiosity (and I may have missed it), any more updates on MailPoet’s own delivery options?

Thanks!

I’ve recently just started again with a refresh of my constant channels on my site. I’ll be using email marketing much more than social media on this true one…

I find that email is much more intimate than social media. The subscriber gets the email directly in their inbox. Whereas with social media, you’re just blasting it out there for anybody to see.

And the numbers for me don’t lie either.. email converts significantly better.

I’ve scaled back my social media posting.. and I’ve considered dropping it altogether. It seems to be a time waster.

Thanks for the info as usual. If people are like me they don’t use emails for news updates for example. I use RSS and lots of other stuff to check daily hundreds of blogs. If blogs force me to give my email for a free ebook and nothing else, I will in any case give a secondary email and then unsubscribe because if I want to follow any news I have lots of other tools. And I need to use my mailbox as a work tool.

I suppose it doesn’t work very well for every kind of business. It really depends on what you are doing and what you are offering. In my case, I keep only the newsletters that are really necessary and I can’t or don’t want to avoid for different reasons, so I suppose lots of other people do the same.

I have a feeling this is why a lot of people are moving back to email as one of their mainstays of digital marketing – goal posts move continually in social media marketing. And people are very particular about how they use their networks. I find with email you get more definitive results and you can really pinpoint your valuable customers and users, target them, re-engage unengaged customers – there’s so much more scope.
