    Small tip from me for those that advertise through emails, and need more people to open their emails. Well when sending the email instead of the Email title saying: "Is your hair falling" put in : "Re:Is your hair falling". By doing this some people think that they first replied to your first email, so they are more then likely to click on your email.

    Bad idea. That is a tactic that will not give you any respect from the people you email. As they will open it and realize it is not something they sent out, or not even open it at all.

    Trust is something that you need to gain in order to build a business online, things like that screw up your chances of having trust.

    I just delete any email which is unknown to me and says Re: in the subject. It's not hard to remember that you've previously replied to any email with such subject.

    im sure it would work but it seems a bit unethical. If people dont wanna open the email they dont want to be tricked into it. Once you have tricked them are they more likely to buy? I sincerely hope not. Personally I would place those emails on my banned list.

    It may work for you if you go for subscriber based email otherwise it can be considered spam whatever connotations you may use.

    Make sure you know your Can-Spam laws before advocating such practices. Besides being unethical, it may be unlawful.

    It's kind of a "blackhat" technique. I also delete everything coming to me with such a subject. By the way, I should know the email I am sending in order to get a replay. So when receiving such an email somehow gets me very annoyed.
