Being over aggressive in email marketing campaigns often leads to its failures. The most important point that is to be kept into our mind is humility, respect towards the person reading your email. Only then you will be able to influence your audience and translate them into your potential customers.
@Jason Wright, you are right. But as I said that we will have to group the people due to their interest. If people are grouped then it is easy to determine that on which group, email marketing would have the most influence and on which group the email marketing would have less influence. Then we would have to focus on the content and text which we will have to use in the email.
