Has anyone implemented an address book importer ala-Facebook? I came across this site that has a script for download. There are probably others out there. I'm considering using something like this to get the word out on a few of my sites. Has anyone used something like this and how successful is/was it? Thanks
A customer of mine tried something similiar. It didn't send them all out, and of the ones that did go out, he got back a few replies that were not very positive. They are use to being hit on all the time with spam. Even though yours may not be, it is still recognized as such by them. The only way to get around it is to contact them without any links or sales pitch in your first half a dozen or so e-mails. Then, sloooowly, overtime, pitch it to them. Like one friend to another. But they won't see you as a friend if you sell them right away. As you can see this can and does take A LOT of time. Time is money! Is it worth it to you? But, hey, try it. See what happens. Come back in about 30 days, and tell us how it worked.
check this script... it can invite contacts from 37 different webmails as well as social networking websites : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=895883 Check the demo link in that topic!!
