Two great reads on Email and Social Media Marketing

In today’s media saturated market, connecting with your audience has become more challenging than ever before. It is estimated that we are exposed to as many as 3000 marketing messages per day. I don’t know about you, but I can’t possibly wrap my head around that much information in a week, let alone one single day. My latest reads, “Email Marketing – An Hour a Day” and “Social Media Marketing – An Hour a Day” offer outstanding overviews of email and social media marketing, how they can proliferate your message and how they can be implemented within any organization.

Written by, Jeanniey Mullen and David Daniels, “Email Marketing – An Hour a Day” has proven to be a fantastic introduction to the principles of email marketing.  Covering such concepts as email design, landing page design, segmentation, and trigger emails, Mullen and Daniels provide the reader with a solid roadmap to email marketing.  From compiling your email list to statistical tracking once your email has been sent, Mullen and Daniels cover all of the elements critical to developing  a top notch email campaign by anyone’s standards.

While email marketing may significantly increase revenues, the power and utility in social media marketing is not to be overlooked. Just three chapters into the book, I am now looking at Twitter, Facebook,  and YouTube from an entirely different perspective. “Social Media Marketing – An Hour a Day” begins with explaining the foundation of social media marketing, then goes into preparing for and executing your campaign across a variety of media channels. From defining the construct of social marketing to explaining the metrics and defining ROI, author, Dave Evans provides a comprehensive resource for launching your own successful social media marketing campaign.
