About opt-in marketing
Opt-in Email is Smarter

Opt-in email costs from $100 to $350 per thousand with response rates averaging 10-15%.
4) Opt-in email is easy. From concept to final transmission, an email campaign can take as little as 2-3 days.
5) Opt-in email is permission based. Unlike any other media, opt-in email is sent only to individuals who have asked to receive information about their specific areas of interest.
6) Opt-in email can accommodate all graphic enhancements including HTML, Flash, video, audio, plain text, pop-ups, and many others. Plus with email, there are fewer restrictions on space devoted to your graphics.
7) Opt-in email has the user's sole attention. Email communicates to users when they are interested. Marketing through other media, ads are placed next to other ads and editorial, and they must compete for viewer attention.
8) Opt-in email allows for multiple links to your Web site. Unlike banner ads, which link to only one location, you can send prospects to various pages, sections and offers throughout your site.
