Despite the fabulociousness.. ;-)... of feeds, I've always preferred email subscribers for the very reasons you and Daniel list. I don't like sending attachments but do use email to give download links and especially like #'s 3,4,5 of email marketing... Thanks again! Chris, Thanks!

Now I have to figure out how to avoid reading your stuff twice whilst not missing your special offers :) Daniel, points 1 and 2 are covered by Google Reader, although I think someone needs to be aware of your shared links for you to forward them. Great additional points though. Thanks for clearing it up Chris. Now I have to figure out how to avoid reading your stuff twice whilst not missing your special offers :)

Emails are saved by default - meaning you can read them again & again. 2. Emails can & will be forwarded at the click of a couple of buttons. 3. You can track every open/forward/click on an email if you need to. 4. If someone unsubscribes you get simple, instant visibility & you can track it back to the exact email you sent. 5. You can 'push' info to people through email, whereas you have to wait for them to 'pull' it otherwise (even through RSS depending on the reader) I hope life's good, daniel hiya, Chris, you forgot a few extra advantages:

I get my leads at the Food Shows(Distributor, Buying Group, Chain Restaurant, Local Food brokers, Key Independents). Email works well for this target marketing, but I would still like to setup a Blog for a more general overall market. Currently I break down the email list into various customer segments: Suspects, prospects, current clients, lost clients, as well as, jerks: hard to deal with accounts that hold good potential. The suspects take the vast amount of time to contact, while the prospects have been pre-qualified through email or phone contact. The suspect category is where I would like to start blogging + bulk emailing. Ideas are always appreciated. Thanks, Joe EOR I use email currently and tie into the US National/Regional Food Shows.

What tip[s would you have for someone developing an email campaign? Should I design the email, offer something free to subscribers anything like that?
