Hi Federex1: It is kind of hard to give advice without knowing a lot more about what you are doing.
I suggest you apply for a hot seat and have John and Stan review your email marketing. You would get a lot out of that.
There is a link to request a hot seat in the right column under Hot Seats and Consulting.

John Carlton’s Best Ads: A Special Notice

John Carlton’s Best Ads: Final Notice!
Another simple tactic to get extra readership out of an ad, without changing another word in the main copy. The "look" of the words "Final Notice" is important, too. It looks like a real stamp, and the ink is red. It is stamped off-center, so it appears to have been...
