Recently Constant Contact acquired Nutshell Mail, a tool which specializes in social media marketing beyond CC’s core e-mail marketing business.
Sometime in the last two weeks Constant Contact added a new contact import feature–import from a webmail account. You can now mine your contact lists in GMail, Hotmail, etc. for recipients. Did your contacts opt-in?
How much longer until there is an import from Facebook? Ethically, could that be done? Does “likeing” a business on Facebook give them permission to contact you through email? I vote no. Use the contact form if you have feedback, comment spammers are still assaulting my blog.
