Great news, I think its true email is by far better.

I think it is up to each business to decide which is best. Groundswell/Forrester (http://www.forrester.com/Groundswell/profile_tool.html) social technology profile tool shows that people of all age ranges are still voyeurs when it comes to social technology. I do agree with Cursor that one’s personal etiquette, and a business’s objectives need to be clearly defined when engaging in social networks. In the long run, both will co-exist because people’s preference mediums for contact today will change as their own personal preferences mature. What are your thoughts on this idea?

Hmm, It’s certainly more direct and should form part of any online killer marketing mix. However not at the expense of search marketing!

Google’s aquistion of social games-maker, LabPixies and it’s reported

Both have their best. Email best use in the follow-up every of your prospect. That’s why I am here to read this great article.
One of the nice thing to have in Social Networking is you can have more engaging with your friends and business partners unlike email where you’re hidden or unseen

Have a great day

I always find it interesting that those whom continue to announce the death of email continue use it to tell you they have a new blog post on the death of email.

I find that email marketing is still one of the most effective ways to promote a sale or a new product. However this also depends greatly on how email notifications are designed to do this. But personally I’d recommend using all the tools you have in your arsenal to get the message out. Brilliant post thanks for sharing the statistics with us.

In dealing with our SEO clients, I also see the importance of maintaining an email marketing project. Social marketing at this point seems to help draw attention to a company profile or product, but sales in general seem to be much higher when the information is received in an email format.

Although social networks do have some marketing power, a lot of people are likely to miss the link that you have posted on social networks because it is a very busy system. People usually only reads the recent posts on Facebook and Twitter, it’s easy to get left behind. On the other hand, emails are read usually one by one which will eventually reach your audience attention. Also, since the person is already a subscriber of your email list, they are already interested in what you are offering, which will convert to sells on a much higher rate.

This is one of the only sensible posts I’ve seen on the topic of email marketing vs. social media. There is no comparison: eMail marketing outperforms all forms of social media combined for sales generation on my company’s e-commerce site. eMail marketing is about 100 times more successful.

Keep spreading the news. The social media fever is spurred on by romantics who never look at real numbers. (Having said that I love social media for hanging out with friends. But it just simply doesn’t work for marketing.)

I use email marketing service by http://www.mailrail.net and successful in generating sales to my online store. I still have a question mark which works more better Emails or social media. I am getting traffic from both media.

hmm…this got me to thinking. Yes, email marketing can be more effective for sales than social media. However, when the two are combined the results are killer. I created a piddly lead capture system for a product and business opportuny…began with giving things away via email, then routed people on my autorepsonder list back through social media sites where I never mentioned the products that I spoke to them about in the emails. Within a matter of days after joing me on social media sites, I had recieved phone calls from 40% of those who opted in to the email system two weeks after launching the lead capture. WOWZA! When I use only email or only social media, the process takes longer and the numbers are lower. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
