Today, most of us are talking about the advancements that are taking place in social media. Be it social media platforms or tools, we are more bothered about the numbers and so called, marketing ROI. I do accept that we all are doing social media marketing for returns, however, the cause of concern is the focus on short term goals.

In a way, they are directly communicating with their potential customers. Here, other stats like bounce rate, CTR or cost per conversion will always be high.  Here are some important aspects that need to be consider for using email marketing for lead generation. 1) Use Opt-in Method: Never send emails to unknown database. Even if you get response through it, the marketing ROI will always be low.
