inboxTurning social media activities into increased sales requires one step many businesses are not using  -  the opt-in email list

In launching a social marketing campaign, you need a way to convert traffic to something valuable to you; sales. You will be driving traffic from different networks, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, to your website or blog.  Once you’ve driven traffic there, you need a way convert this traffic into something valuable for you.  The email list is the key to conversion.  Once you’ve collected emails, you can send periodic messages about new products and services. You can send newsletters with good industry information to customers.  All of these messages keep you and your business in front of potential customers.  This leads to sales.
