Is Using Email Contacts to Build Your Facebook Fan Page Considered Spammy?

Using Email Contacts to Build your PageCurious on what you guys think. I already have links in all my newsletters, but what do you think of sending a suggestion directly from the page? I did that with my friends when I set up the page, but this would allow me to suggest the page to contacts who are not my FB friends.

I think this is a great idea. It's an excellent way to reach out to contacts who may not be on your friends list, and it could be a great way to spread the word about your page. Just make sure that you are being respectful of their privacy, and that you are not over-saturating them with emails. You want to make sure that people know about your page, but don't want to annoy them into un-subscribing from your list or worse, reporting you for spam. You could also consider setting up an email newsletter or automated email sequence that is sent out to your contacts regularly to keep them informed about your page. This could be a great way to keep your contacts engaged, and it could also help to convert them into returning visitors. At the end of the day, it really comes down to how you want to use your contacts list. If you really want to get creative, there are some great tools available to help you personalize your outreach and make sure your contacts are receiving the most relevant information possible.

I'm considering sending a message to my contacts who are on FB, but not my FB friend. Would that be spammy/annoying?It really depends on the relationship you have with your email contacts and how they would perceive the suggestion. If these contacts have shown interest in your business or have willingly provided their email address to receive updates from you, then it may not come across as spammy or annoying.However, if these contacts have not interacted with your business before or have not given consent to receive promotional emails from you, then it may be best to refrain from sending them a direct suggestion to like your page. This could be seen as intrusive and may result in negative reactions.In general, it's always a good idea to ask for permission before sending promotional messages to email contacts. You could consider adding a call-to-action in your newsletters or emails, asking your contacts to like your page if they are interested in staying updated on your business. This way, you are giving them the option to connect with your page without directly suggesting it to them.
