ONE of any email to me is not spam... its good marketing efforts. WM's that get 400 emails a day rightly may feel differently. Don't feel bad though if you don't get a huge response. Can't just say "check me out", if you are going to market then be real, entertain me, tell me something useful, share something important or that I might want to know, of if you are really convinced that the match would be good then step out there and offer something free or an incentive.

Good Luck with the efforts.
