I'm saying yes, but not nearly as much as we should be doing.

I'm telling Mikey to add a .com to the company name.

We've been using them since mid-Dec, with very good results. We have a data base of about 1200 emails and when we do a special on something, we usually get a response of 2-5% who order the special.

It's very reasonable cost wise (free 60 day trial, and then your rates are base on the number of email addresses you have, not the number of times you email.)

I'm a fan of keeping it in house... the mailing list and the $$ As long as I can manage it I will. My ex-beyatch worked high up in a mail house/direct marketer..and she admitted to me they steal mailing lists and resell them. Not saying this firm does that...but its out there.

They don't sell/give out your clients info-and you can manage it with complete control.

Just be careful there are tons of unscrupulous marketers out there....
