Email marketing - is it effective?

Has anyone ever used one of the email blast services, and if so, who would you recommend and what type of results did you have?

Thanks for your help.

Looking forward to seeing numbers myself, hopefully some members will have good input.

hi i have used email blasting it does not work as well as they say you do get some hits to your website but it is nothing compared to the incoming email from other email marketing sites once they get your email adess they add you to ther list and so on and you get never ending emails from them and they are hard to get rid of hope this helps

Thanks for highlighting that raysopal.
