When you combine email and social media marketing, it can increase the reach of email campaigns while growing your list. Sharing emails on social media places them in front of more potential customers. Integrating email and social media by sharing engaging content that prompts people to take action can boost business. Social media provides new avenues for customer engagement that complements email marketing rather than competing with it. The key is having a disciplined, measured approach that capitalizes on what gains audience attention and momentum across both channels.
