• Now Announcing Fax Marketing Posted Friday, April 1, 2011 Joseph Henrich 8 Comments

  Update:  April Fools!  This post will remain up for your amusement. 
  Are your emails not real enough?  Do you want your customers to feel your campaigns in their hands?  Are you tired of licking stamps?

  Constant Contact Labs is pleased to announce a trial of our latest feature, Fax Marketing.  With Fax Marketing and the power of the Internet we allow you to send your message to any fax machine in the world.  No longer will you need an address, all you need are numbers for the omnipresent fax machines found in homes, offices and internet cafes across the world and beyond.  The details of our latest endeavor can be found in our white paper here. 

  Another great benefit of Fax Marketing is how quickly it can go viral.  You send your newsletter to an office fax machine and before you know it someone expecting a fax comes along and reads it.  They then put it back and another person reads it when they come looking for their fax.  Before you know it tens of people have read your newsletter, all from just one fax!

  Is there any timeline on when this will be available?  The white paper is blank.

  Hi Andre, This Fax Marketing post was actually a Labs April Fool’s joke. We don’t have any plans to offer this kind of service - but we thought it was an interesting thought exercise!

  Yu guys are pretty idiotic. I actually use a fax broadcasting service and it gives me a lot better return than email marketing ever did! What a really stupid and pathetic April fools joke?!

  Well, Paul; I can’t see how that’s possible. Maybe if you invested some time learning how to market effectively, you’d realize that there is no way an obsolete piece of technology could be a more effective medium than something almost every consumer in the world uses on a daily basis. Just because you don’t know how to do one method correctly and the other yields better results; does not make the method you saw better results with more effective.  I can’t comment on your level of stupidity as I don’t know you personally, but your ignorance sure shines through here.
