For instance, were you aware that social media has an impact on email? Recent data from GetResponse shows that the inclusion of social sharing icons leads to higher click-through rates.

Overall, GetResponse reported that the inclusion of social sharing icons accounted for increases in click-through rate by 115%. According to the GetResponse blog, the results, “contrasted with the comparatively small number of actual shares per 10,000 emails (Facebook: 23, Twitter: 7, LinkedIn: 4) only further punctuate their extended viral impact.”

Out of the social networks most commonly used, the click-through rate for LinkedIn was the highest with a rate of almost 400%. This is a major increase, and looks even more impressive as the number of emails including the LinkedIn icon dropped by 25% since last year.
