The Ultimate Guide to Constant Contact Integrations

Digital marketing offers your business a lot of opportunities to reach out to your customers or prospects, keeping them engaged and wanting more.

However, you can’t be sure that your Facebook or Google ad will be seen by everyone you want, or that your promoted post will reach exactly the kind of audience you want. You can try your best to rank well in Google search results, but at the end of the day, Google controls the search algorithm.

Email marketing, on the other hand, is different. You have a whole bunch of people who have willingly given you their email address and signed up to receive emails from you. They share an affinity for your brand or business and have given you a direct line of communication to their inbox.

Sending emails to your subscribers by incorporating an isolated email marketing strategy isn’t enough. With so many tools available, why not integrate your email marketing with your broader digital marketing strategy? By optimizing your email marketing integration strategy, you can make the most of your relationship with every customer.

Integrations are important and here’s why

According to research from Smart Insights, email campaigns deliver an average open rate of about 20% along with a click-through rate of 3.3%. Social media marketing has a long way to go with click-through rates of less than 1% most of the time.

However, a lot of your success depends on getting the basics of your email marketing strategy in place: the quality and depth of your email list. Tracking your email deliverability helps maintain that strategy, once it’s in place.

But why do businesses prefer email marketing? For one thing, 77% of people across all demographics prefer to hear from brands and organizations through email. It’s their favorite permission-based advertising, as opposed to other options like Facebook.

But you can’t keep your email marketing strategy separate from the rest of your digital marketing methods. You need to integrate it with everything else.

It’s almost like eating flour, eggs, oil, and sugar all at the same time – perfect ingredients for cake, but not actually cake! You need to put all the ingredients together in just the right way to get the results you want.
