Build An E-Mail List To Build A Business:

E-mail changed marketing for the better. As a direct response medium, e-mail enables you to keep prospects interested in what you are offering and informed about what you are doing or offering at a fraction of the cost of postal mail. While many people will tell you that you will need lots of bells and whistles to market effectively through e-mail, the truth of the matter is that there are several services and resources online to help you manage communications sent by e-mail while simultaneously building essential relationships with your client base that you need for long-term success. For example, anyone can set up an account on either Yahoo! Groups or Google Groups and have a ready-made platform to share messages (sales or marketing messages, too). If you are a plumber in Topeka, you can set up one of these groups and share information on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule about how to maintain a plumbing system or current discounts you are offering on sink installation. When someone needs a referral, chances are excellent that it will come from one of the e-mail subscribers who trust you because you are the one providing valuable information. The real benefit besides the free price tag is that all the hard work (coding, e-mail delivery, etc.) is done for you. All the group owner has to do is promote the group to their customers. The referrals will come over time as long as you are dedicated to its success.

I am not sure at this point this is a good strategy with all of the email blockers out there
