Sprout Social’s email marketing manager once said, “If social media is the fun and unpredictable uncle of the marketing family, then email is an old, reliable grandparent”–and while these two channels may seem entirely different, marketers who can learn to combine the two earn the rewards of a bi-channel lead generation and nurturing funnel.

“I used to spend a crazy amount of time on Facebook,” Jill admitted. “I tried to
manipulate the Facebook algorithm. It was tricky. Then I focused on email instead,
and now I don’t need to spend nearly as much time on social.” The trick was using
social to promote her content and using it together with email marketing – not
relying solely on social media for her success.

“I used to send full blog posts as they were
published,” she said. “They weren’t getting big open
rates and I got spam complaints, so I ditched the daily
post format in favor of weekly emails and it’s been
very successful ever since.”

“Once we built up our email list with AWeber, we worked to
push our Facebook fans to our email list so we can keep in

Vault used social media in the past, but social alone wasn’t allowing
them to connect with their audience the way they wanted. That all
changed when they added email marketing to the mix.

“We had a low reach on Facebook,” James said. “But when we
started using AWeber and opting to have AWeber post on our
Facebook page, our reach went up significantly – it tripled and
then quadrupled. Facebook really likes to show people our AWeber
posts in the newsfeed, more so than our own organic posts.”
