# Cross Promoting Email & SMS

1send complements email and SMS marketing. Not replace it. **Different people respond differently to different channels**. Therefore, it's a good idea to have various communication methods. Different channels can be used for different purposes, messages, and urgencies.

A powerful method to create multiple touchpoints is to cross-promote your subscriber lists. For example, if you already have existing email and/or SMS list you can cross-promote your 1send subscription link to quickly boost your 1send subscribers. And vice-versa!
