Could you go into a little detail on e-mail marketing? Is this just a
reminder that you send out on say the day or two before the market as a
reminder of the overall market, or your specific items you are bringing?

Can you include a typical sample of how it is worded?

Is this something commonly done by members on this list?

A polite warning to all list members who have
their customers' email addresses stored in their
computers:

Unless you have permission from a customer
to send them unsolicited messages or ads -
don't do it!

If you don't have permission to send email
notices or ads, send one email, once, to request
permission to send future emails. Include the
option to Accept or Decline future messages
and tell people that if they do not respond to
the message you will assume they DO NOT
want to be emailed.

DO NOT SPAM YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Sending unsolicited messages, even to people
who know you, is a sure fire way to alienate
them as customers and possibly lose all of their
business. For every one you make happy, you
will displease nine according to the stats on
spamming.
