The word is in: we need an alternative to newsletters for e-commerce marketing. 

That reintroduces an old friend in the world of e-commerce marketing. I’m not talking about today’s guest, Emily McGuire – I’ll introduce her later. No, I’m talking about my old friend, False Dichotomy. That’s when you’re presented with a false choice between two paths, neither of which is real. 

Today’s false dichotomy is between “either” email newsletters “or” non-email marketing, like blogging, social media, video marketing, paid ads, etc., etc. 

It’s a false choice. There is a third way. 

Let’s be clear: according to all the stats (and today’s guest), email marketing gets the best ROI  of ALL marketing by a LARGE margin. 

So how come we need an alternative to (email) newsletters? 

The clue is this: email marketing works like CRAZY for e-commerce – IF done right. However, email newsletters don’t work very well. 

Today’s guest, Emily, offers us a third way. The way of e-commerce email marketing that works. And, according to Emily, we need an alternative to newsletters to make it work.
