Email is hard to beat. It’s where people are.
Source: Marketing Sherpa - survey of consumer attitudes
91% of US
adults…
… like to receive
promotional
emails from
companies with
which they do
business.
What can email do for your business?
“Every time I send out an email, I get a sale in 15
minutes. Overall, I get up to four times as many sales
with these newsletters than I did with my old ones,
and they’ve gone from about $50 per order to $100.”
- Irene Schmoller, founder Cotton Clouds
Boost repeat business.
What can email do for your business?
Create and increase awareness.
“The emails are an important reinforcement of
brand. I get calls from people I’ve never met all the
time.They get the newsletter, or a friend of theirs
gets the newsletter, and they know I’m the person to
call. It really helps establish credibility upfront.”
- Brandon Stewart, realtor at David Griffin & Company Realtors
What can email do for your business?
Drive revenue and profit.
“It has definitely been the easiest way to reach
people. If we have a slower day and know that we
want to reach local people, we can create a quick
email and will get at least a few calls right away.”
- Christine Copertino, spa director for Allegria Spa
49% of consumers like a
Facebook business page

41% want regular updates
from brands they like

What can Facebook do for
your business?
“The targeting has absolutely been the best
feature.The biggest goal for us is to get that local
exposure, and being able to target people on
Facebook that live within a 25-mile radius is key.
There’s no doubt about it — it works.”
- John Jeserski, founder DineBestForLess.com
Build awareness.
What can Facebook do for
your business?
“We noticed that it was working right away. Our
reach and clicks were far beyond what we were told
to expect from the ad.”
- Darin Hager, founder Heyday Footwear
Drive measureable ROI.
