For instance, a social media ad may lead to an article on your website, which triggers a download, which in turn prompts a welcome email. By making use of targeted messaging through one channel, and following that up with added messages through associated channels, you dramatically increase opportunities for brand engagement as well as putting together lasting relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Cross-channel marketing is a more concise term that is used to describe these tactics. You need to reach consumers by using a multi-tiered, consistent (yet natural) campaigns which leave positive impressions in addition to leading to results. By making use of multiple channels, which leads to additional touchpoints, you allow your customers to engage with your brand through the method they find most valuable.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why is email cross-channelling effective?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Email marketing is direct<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are no stops between your organisation and the potential customers. Email is a direct channel to customers. It is the most fluid way to cement a relationship with your customers as recipients have opted in. They have demonstrated interest which helps to put loyalty in place.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re building a relationship and putting incentives forward. How many times have you elected to make that <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/blog\/what-is-online-reputation-management\/\">online<\/a> order when you received a coupon? Email marketing has been demonstrated to deliver a higher return on investment (ROI) as opposed to other tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Consider all the times when you\u2019ve opened an email, clicked on the image, and been delivered to an organisation\u2019s site. It enables you to gather click-through data and pinpoint consumer behaviours. You can dive into why people are opening the email and how far are they going in the process. The more information that you collect, the better you can target subsequent efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-video align_none ratio_16x9 has_iframe\"><div class=\"w-video-h\"><iframe title=\"Vimeo video player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/285107923?autoplay=0&loop=0&autopause=0&color=00adef&portrait=0&byline=1&title=1&controls=1&muted=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"w-video-icon\" style=\"font-size:1.5rem;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);color:#fff\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3><strong>How To Thrive At Multi-Channel Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>De-silo your channels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Synchronise cross-promotional efforts with integrated marketing in which various mediums supplement each other.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Establish control groups <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Test the efficacy of your multichannel marketing efforts by setting control groups which do not receive the multichannel promotion. This will assist you to better measure your campaigns\u2019 effectiveness.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Create multiple touchpoints <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As set out above, one of the benefits provided by multichannel marketing is the ability to create a large number of touchpoints, which then provide added data that can influence future marketing efforts. Touchpoints can include social media, surveys, email newsletters as well as mail-in items.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Know your audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Which channels will work best for your organisation? Where does your most important audience spend most of their time? This data should greatly influence your multichannel marketing approach.<\/p>\n<p>Email marketing, as a digital marketing channel, isn\u2019t going anywhere at anytime soon. According to research, email is one of the most efficient methods for mobilising contacts which suggests that if you hope to enhance your clickthrough rates or boost your conversion rates, making use of a personalised email message could be one of the best avenues for your company to explore. It&#8217;s also significant to note that email marketing is not a successful <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/courses\/marketing-strategy-course\/\">marketing strategy<\/a> by itself. Rather than using it as a solitary tool, your digital marketing efforts will be far more successful if you correctly integrate email marketing into as many inbound campaign channels as you can.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/contact-us\/\">Get in touch with the Digital School of Marketing<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Want to find out more about email marketing?
