Social Media Marketing

can you pull down emails from Facebook?

2011-02-01T06:37:00.000-08:00

I was wondering if anyone out there knew how to pull down emails from all your friends on facebook and came accross this interesting article:

Search the Facebook Apps directory for something like “export contacts” and you’ll come across quite a few applications that sound as if they can transfer your friends contact information out of Facebook.

There’s an app called “Export Friends” that will save you friends names, city, birthday and their current location in a CSV (text) file that you then import into Excel, Gmail or any other web email program.

Then there are social plug-ins that can sync photos and status updates of your Facebook friends with matching contacts in Outlook.

The problem is that none of these apps can download what you are looking – the phone numbers and email addresses of your Facebook friends. There are Greasemonkey scripts and other hacks that can pull this information from Facebook through “web scraping” but don’t ever take that route as Zuckerberg’s army might ban your account forever.

Export Email Addresses of your Facebook Contacts
Facebook APIs don’t expose email addresses of users and hence none of the Facebook apps can provide you with the actual contact data of your friends. There’s however a simple (and perfectly legal) workaround that can help you easily download all your friends email addresses from Facebook’s walled garden.

Many consumers consider email marketing messages to be “spam”. As a result, if not conducted carefully, email marketing messages and campaigns can have a negative effect on a company’s brand or image. The primary reason this occurred is that too many business and spammers rely on purchased email contact lists from less than reputable list providers. Instead of sending out thousands of email messages to an untargeted lists, small and home businesses have better success sending email newlsetters to their customers and selected prospects. Additionally, regulations make it mandatory for email marketers to provide the ability for message recipients to easily opt out of the mailing list.

Email Newsletters

2009-10-27T06:31:00.000-07:00

Autoresponders

2009-10-06T09:55:00.000-07:00

An autoresponder is a computer program that automatically answers e-mails sent to it. They can be very simple or quite complex.

The first autoresponders were created within mail transfer agents that found they could not deliver an e-mail to a given address. These create bounce messages such as "your e-mail could not be delivered because..." type responses. Today's autoresponders need to be careful to not generate e-mail backscatter, which can result in the autoresponses being considered E-mail spam.

Autoresponders are often used as e-mail marketing tools, to immediately provide information to their prospective customers and then follow-up with them at preset time intervals. (Wikipedia.com)

Such follow-up autoresponders can be divided into two categories:

* Outsourced ASP model — these autoresponders operate on the provider's infrastructure and are usually configurable via a web-based control panel. The customer pays a monthly usage fee. This is easiest to implement for the end-user.

* Server-side — enables users to install the autoresponder system on their own server. This requires technical skills.

Autoresponders are also incorporated into electronic mailing list software, to confirm subscriptions, unsubscriptions, posts, and other list activities.

Pressfish can:

1. Create multiple autoresponders, which are emails that get sent to a contact after they have been on your list for a certain time, such as 24 hours or 2 weeks. Email connect (ec) allows you to create multiple, sequential autoresponder emails for each of your contact lists

2. Filter the Recipient List-You can assign an autoresponder to your entire list or only a portion of it, such as those in New York with under 10 employees or leads from last week's trade show who have ticked the "Send me more information" box on your signup form.
This means you can assign multiple autoresponders to one list based on custom filters instead of separating your contacts across multiple lists.

3. HTML, Text or Both (Multipart)
Create beautiful HTML emails, informative text emails or both using the integrated campaign editor. Multipart autoresponders are sent as HTML and text and your subscriber's email client will show whichever version it supports best.

4. Open/Link/Unsubscribe Reporting
Just like email campaign statistics you can see who opened your autoresponder, which links they clicked on and more, including unsubscribe and bounce reports.

Text Messaging makes life more simple

2009-10-02T10:22:00.000-07:00

Text messaging, or texting, is a colloquial term referring to the exchange of brief written messages between mobile phones, over cellular networks. While the term most often refers to messages sent using the Short Message Service (SMS), it has been extended to include messages containing image, video, and sound content, such as MMS messages. Individual messages are referred to as "text messages" or "texts" (Wikipedia.com)

The most common application of the service is person-to-person messaging, but text messages are also used to interact with automated systems, such as ordering products and services for mobile phones, or participating in contests. Advertisers and service providers use texts to notify mobile phone users about promotions, payment due dates, and other notifications that were previously sent by post or left as voicemail. There are internet services available that allow users to send text messages free of direct charge to the sender.

Pressfish is about to have a new and innovative feature so you can handle all your internet and email marketing needs right from your mobile device. Very shortly we will be coming out with SMS texting solutions and Video Management campaign. What makes life easier than always having your business accessible right through your phone.

Social Media Marketing with Pressfish

2009-09-30T07:20:00.000-07:00

Social media marketing is an engagement with online communities to generate exposure, opportunity and sales. Social media marketing is a form of internet marketing which seeks to achieve branding and marketing communication goals through the participation in various social media.
Social media marketing is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media marketing supports the human need for social interaction, using Internet- and web-based technologies to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many). It supports the democratization of knowledge and information, transforming people from content consumers into content producers. Businesses also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM).

Social media marketing can be said to have three components;

1. Concept (art, information, or meme).
2. Media (physical, electronic, or verbal).
3. Social interface (intimate direct, community engagement, social viral, electronic broadcast or syndication, or other physical media such as print).

By utilizing social media marketing through social networking and user-generated content platforms you can promote a product, service, business, etc…
