Email Marketing vs Social Media: What actually drives sales in 2025?

📉 You’re losing sales if you’re ignoring email marketing.

Let’s be real, email marketing isn’t “sexy.” It doesn’t go viral. It’s not flashy like TikTok ads or Instagram Reels.

But you know what it does? It sells. Consistently, predictably, and quietly.

The brands that are growing fast? They’re not just doing ads and socials. They’re doubling down on email marketing because it works.

 

That’s not to say social media marketing doesn’t matter, it absolutely does, especially when it comes to building brand awareness and connecting with your audience in real time. In fact, email and social media marketing work best when they support each other. If you’re still wondering where socials fits in your strategy, here’s why social media marketing is just as essential.

But if you’re relying on social alone to drive conversions, you’re missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

 

📧 Why does email marketing still matter?

Here’s something no one tells you, email is one of the few marketing channels you actually own.

 

You don’t have to fight an algorithm or boost a post just to get seen. You write it, hit send, and your message goes directly into your customer’s inbox.

And trust us they check that inbox way more than they check your Instagram story.

 

Stats? Sure:

– The average ROI for email marketing is €36 for every €1 spent.

– 4.3 billion people use email every day.

– Most customers say they prefer brands to communicate through email.

 

It’s not outdated and spammy, it’s just underused and often misused.

 

❌ Here’s where most people get email marketing totally wrong:

A lot of people think email marketing is just about sending out promotions every now and then and hoping for clicks.

But real email marketing, the kind that actually grows your business isn’t about pushing products.

 

– It’s about building a conversation with your audience over time.

– It’s knowing when to show up in their inbox, what to say, and how to say it so it feels natural, not salesy.

– It’s creating automations based on the consumer’s patterns.

 

It’s not just sending emails. It’s creating reasons for people to care and opportunities for them to take action.
