Facebook pages invites via email

[ocelot]

Hi

Within Facebook business admin there is an option to email your contacts to invite them to like your page.

Has anyone done this?  and would sending this invite request out to your mailing list of subscribers be allowed in Facebook or would it be seen as spamming?  even though they have opted in to recieve communications/news/offers from the company?

I think that most would see this as a spammy way to communicate. I have seen these before and all I do is delete them.

You may get a small amount of success, but it's the same as the Twitter invites - they get looked on as spam by just about everyone who receives them.

I think the far better answer is to simply include a link to the Facebook page in the newsletter and invite people to like the page from there.  Believe it or not, there are some people who are not on Facebook, so getting an email inviting them to like the page would be worthless.  I think the minimal likes you'd get out of it is not worth the risk of being viewed as a spammer.
