Questions to Ask Yourself
1. Do we have the kind of email content people will
actually want to share?
2. What kind of content/offers should we develop to
give value to the recipient and encourage sharing?
3. If we use email to get people to connect with us on
social media, are we simply switching people from one
channel to another or are we creating extra contact
points?
