In the age of social media , businesses continue to make significant marketing investments on Facebook, Instagram, and other channels. Competition is intense, background noise is loud, and the threat of reputation-damaging fake news keeps communications officers up at night. So, has social media replaced “good old” newsletters as the primary marketing tool?

No.

Statistics show that using email as a marketing tool is just as effective and important for businesses as it was before social media. Twitter and Facebook may play an important role in lead generation and promotional messaging, but email is still the best way to reach customers.

Here are some numbers on the state of email marketing in 2019.
