- you can send one message to a large number of people
- compared to traditional hard copy marketing it can be a lot less expensive
- if you use a list management system you can get instant results like how many people opened the email and how many "click throughs" there were to the links in the email
The most important part of an email campaign is having a list of qualified email addresses to send your marketing piece.
So just how are you supposed to get those email addresses? The best method is to have a sign up form on your website to capture the visitor's information. Here are some DOs and DON'Ts for creating a list for your online business.

DON'T:
- Sell or give away your list.
