Episode highlights
“We found that 68% of marketers are using email as a promotional tool but only about 50% had ever thought that you could add email signatures to your marketing.” – 7:13 – Carol Howley
“You’re communicating with them anyway, so why not leverage this channel to communicate with them. You’ve got complete deliverability, there’s no risk, there’s no challenges and we see on average, between 3 and 7% click through on all the adverts. That’s much higher than your average couple of percent that you’d see on advertising messages.” 9:11 – Carol Howley
“It’s like an engagement, it’s like a marriage, especially when you’re building a customer centric business, you want to be investing in actually doing things right, making sure that journey is seamless, people get to experience you and your brand and everything you do lives up to the promises you make.” – 18:28 – Carol Howley
“In the B2B world, we have a tougher but almost easier job, because the ability for brilliant B2B businesses that are marketing themselves well is huge, because there’s so many who are not doing a great job.” – 23:46 – Katie Street
“You can’t do everything, we don’t have infinite budgets, the economy is super challenging at the minute. So it’s about being really strict with ourselves and saying “yes, we could do all of this but if we do we won’t actually move the needle as quickly as we have to” because we have investors and we have growth targets and we all want to see results.” – 25:04 – Carol Howley
We used to get better results through email than we did LinkedIn, and we’ve seen a huge shift in the last six months to a year. LinkedIn and our social media strategies are now delivering more leads than email. ” – 28:28 – Katie Street
