I even hear confusion such as: “Isn’t lead nurturing just a fancy term for email marketing?” or “It’s all the same.” This is why we have created the Email Marketing vs. Lead Nurturing Infographic. It provides a quick overview of the differences between each helping marketers realize that they can have a greater impact!
