We’ve all heard it, right? Engage your audience, online, and offline.

But, what is engagement in email marketing?

The big question Iā€™ve heard is, does your audience really want to engage with your brand the same way they would a friend. That is being social and sharing experiences. This is why you really need to understand more about your targeted audience.

There are the analytics of engagement in email marketingā€¦

  • Open rate ā€“ doesnā€™t mean they are reading and engaging with your brand.
  • Click rate ā€“ a more reliable metric.
  • Conversion rate ā€“ is thought to be the ultimate objective for your business.

I’ve put together a hypothetical ‘Case Study’ to help better understand social media and content marketing efforts using a social media marketing funnel done right.

Boombiz Corp (imaginary) is a company that sells boomboxes and theyā€™ve discovered social media and content marketing and are beginning to understand the efforts and the steps involved in growing their online business.

Because, their first thought and main concern was the success of that business online and getting their business noticed, they wanted to build an online identity for their brand while marketing and promoting their business.
