People are somewhat of a captive audience to radio advertising-if they're not listening to downloaded MP3s and podcasts. The world is tired of commercials-unless they invite them. Yet e-mail marketing allows the entrepreneur to do so much more than give a commercial. In fact you, the marketer, can't afford to do anything of the sort if you want to maintain a list and actually sell from it. You have to understand that you are essentially opening a dialogue with your consumer. They are giving you the opportunity to let them get to know you, not just your product. I.
