The goal of B2B email marketing is to provide senior executives with useful and highly relevant information, directly in their inboxes. This is a well-known and effective strategy for establishing credibility with key decision-makers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, each year, new media reports emerge calling for the death of email marketing. Whether the reasoning is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.senior.co.uk\/GDPR-news\/the-long-term-implications-of-the-gdpr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new privacy regulations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/martechseries.com\/mts-insights\/guest-authors\/email-marketing-isnt-dying-its-already-dead\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased use of social media<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the media continues to predict the end of email marketing in the near future.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statistically, these reports are wrong. Even with the explosion of marketing technology and tools in recent years, when it comes to reaching executives, email marketing is still the most effective strategy. In fact, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/state-of-marketing\/email-marketing-trends?utm_campaign=2020%20State%20of%20Marketing%20&amp;utm_source=Blog%20CTA&amp;hsCtaTracking=3d0bc27a-898d-40d5-aa46-8696ed81c4ee%7Caf5b3705-d3dd-4659-bdd1-de774dbcf009\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HubSpot Research\u2019s Global Survey, November &#8211; December 2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 78% of marketers have seen an increase in email engagement over the previous 12 months. With the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/state-of-marketing\/email-marketing-trends?utm_campaign=2020%20State%20of%20Marketing%20&amp;utm_source=Blog%20CTA&amp;hsCtaTracking=3d0bc27a-898d-40d5-aa46-8696ed81c4ee%7Caf5b3705-d3dd-4659-bdd1-de774dbcf009\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ROI of email marketing increasing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well, it is clear that email marketing continues to be highly effective.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, marketers themselves vouch for the effectiveness of B2B email marketing. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superoffice.com\/blog\/b2b-email-marketing-report\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45% of B2B marketers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> agree that email marketing is the most effective digital marketing tool. Plus, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/state-of-marketing\/email-marketing-trends?utm_campaign=2020%20State%20of%20Marketing%20&amp;utm_source=Blog%20CTA&amp;hsCtaTracking=3d0bc27a-898d-40d5-aa46-8696ed81c4ee%7Caf5b3705-d3dd-4659-bdd1-de774dbcf009\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 2019, 49.5% of marketers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said they planned to increase their email marketing budget. Despite what the media predicts, these statistics demonstrate that email marketing is still one of the most effective marketing tools out there.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>How Effective is Social Media Advertising as an Alternative to B2B Email Marketing?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we discussed briefly, some might consider social media advertising to be an alternative to B2B email marketing. The appeal of advertising online, in general, is understandable\u2014it seems like a cost-effective way to reach a large number of individuals on the websites they frequently visit. However, it\u2019s becoming clear that indiscriminately advertising on a large number of websites is an ineffective marketing strategy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in 2017, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/29\/business\/chase-ads-youtube-fake-news-offensive-videos.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JPMorgan Chase narrowed down its advertising reach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from 400,000 websites to 5,000 pre-approved websites\u2014and saw no decrease in performance. This example demonstrates the ineffectiveness of online advertising for the sake of reaching a broad audience\u2014this strategy doesn\u2019t necessarily lead to increased sales. Plus, it is time-consuming to hand-select websites that are best suited for advertising.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, many seasoned marketers emphasize the importance of social media advertising as these platforms grow in popularity\u2014but not as an alternative to email marketing. Instead, some argue that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.business2community.com\/social-media\/social-media-vs-email-campaigns-followers-or-lists-02366117\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">email marketing and social media advertising should work together<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the best results.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this is to say that social media and online advertising may be important elements of successful marketing, but they <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.business2community.com\/social-media\/social-media-vs-email-campaigns-followers-or-lists-02366117\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can\u2019t replace email marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a business\u2019s B2B digital marketing strategy.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Email vs. Social Media<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a number of direct comparisons, B2B email marketing comes out ahead of social media advertising in terms of effectiveness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, on the most basic level, more people use email than any given social media platform. Even Facebook, the most used social media platform in the world with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/blog\/facebook-statistics#:~:text=1.-,How%20Many%20People%20Use%20Facebook%3F,site%20on%20a%20daily%20basis.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.6 billion monthly active users<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, falls short of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/blog\/email-marketing-statistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">world\u2019s 3.9 billion email users<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. More email users mean more potential eyes on your marketing messages.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the informality of social media is counterproductive to the relationships and credibility marketers must establish to succeed in B2B marketing. Social media platforms are simply not <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/email-crushes-social-media\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ideal venues for business discussions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Amongst the personal posts that dominate the most popular social media platform, Facebook, business discussions are out of place. Plus, there is a high chance that social media users will <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.inboxads.com\/the-ultimate-battle-email-marketing-vs-social-media\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">simply scroll past an unsolicited advertisement in their newsfeed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014whereas email marketing targets users who have engaged with a company in the past, making them more likely to be responsive to marketing messages.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, email marketing has proven its worth in terms of ROI. For every $1 spent on email marketing, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/blog\/email-marketing-statistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">businesses make $42 in return<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, according to the latest reports. This is a substantial ROI, especially compared to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lauro.media\/blog\/digital-marketing-roi-statistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$10.51 businesses make for every $1 spent on mobile marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This disparity speaks for itself\u2014email marketing is worth the investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum it all up, regardless of the media\u2019s warnings about its impending doom, B2B email marketing is still the most effective strategy for reaching key decision-makers. With its high ROI, large user base, and popularity among marketers, B2B email marketing isn\u2019t going away anytime soon.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next Steps<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SOMAmetrics designs and executes its proven 4-step high-quality lead generation programs to deliver more leads that close faster and at a higher rate for 20% of what it costs clients to produce in-house.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a next step, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/somametrics.com\/clone\/resources\/fundamentals-b2b-that-never-change\/\"><b>download this white paper<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that describes the most effective way for B2B companies to generate high quality leads for their sales organization.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/eskinder\"><b>let\u2019s schedule a quick call<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to discuss how we may be able to help you build your high-quality lead generation programs.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite concerns in the media over the death of email marketing, B2B email marketing continues to be the most effective strategy for reaching key decision-makers, year after year.
