Email marketing

Here's a good example of someone touting data, came through this morning:

Dear Business Owner,

I am sending you this email because there are only 6 hours left before we take our product off the market.

We are the developer and publisher of the largest business database on CD in the UK. The database is the only one on the market to contain details not available anywhere else on 5 million Businesses in the UK including 4,6 million named Decision Makers available by job function and 800,000 Businesses with email addresses.

We have decided to give it to you for a symbolic price of £49 (instead of £998) until 3PM today (the product will be entirely removed from our website at 3PM).

Yeah right  If you ever wondered why you got spammed to death, this is one of the reasons!

A symbolic price? That's a new one! 

Yes something along the line of that..... I think I am doing good what I am doing, growing slowly at the price of my time. I am even going to try Facebook Business Page and see how far that gets me.
