SOCIAL
I love social, but it’s not email.
• It’s a different medium?
• Email didn’t kill the phone. • Email was built to be a 1-2-1 tool.
• Can Social be B2B?
• Can you measure Social ROI? • Have you ever heard these phrases:
@dominicedmunds
SOCIAL
• ‘Can you tweet me a copy of that contract’
• ‘I couldn’t fit my message into an email so I thought I’d DM you’
• ‘Can you summarize those points in a tweet?’ • ‘I’ll pull my thoughts together and fire them over in
messenger’ • ‘I just got a great email from Dan telling me what he
had for breakfast’
• ‘I’ve just posted your receipt of purchase on facebook‘
@dominicedmunds
SOCIAL • Email and Social are different tools.
• They don’t compete.
LET’S NOT FORGET… SPAM!
@dominicedmunds
@dominicedmunds
SPAM
Marketers ruin everything… • If 1 email makes $X.XX then lets send 2
• The same is in store for social
• Tricky to manage an inbox? What about your twitter
feed
• Gmail’s priority inbox, Multitude of email management apps
OK… MAYBE EMAIL ISN’T DEAD
@dominicedmunds
IT’S ON ITS LAST LEGS

@dominicedmunds
SURVIVOR Email has survived some fairly close calls …
• The big one being the LAW, or the LAWS
• 35 international laws to be precise
@dominicedmunds
SURVIVOR • No longer a scatter gun approach
• Email has cleaned up its act
• It’s about much more than newsletter
@dominicedmunds
SURVIVOR
• Social is yet to face these challenges full on
• Individuals being prosecuted for tweets, unaware of the rules they are breaking
• Cyber bullying through facebook is gaining more and more press
• Internet trolls have been free to torment and abuse users
• Social, has a lot of growing up to do
• Email has already grown up
SO, EMAIL ISN’T DEAD
