Email marketing can be a huge boon for your business. A good way to expand your e-mail list is to ask your customers to sign up whenever they make a transaction on your website. In order for your customers to subscribe to your email list, you should make a page that explains the different types of emails you send, and provide a simple way for them to sign up. All you ever need is their name and email address. Do not ask for any other information. Explain the benefits of signing up. Let people know that they will receive access to exclusive discounts and information about new products. You should email your customers consistently, and every subject line needs to be attention getting. Use software to personalize the subject line of each message you send. When a person sees his name in the subject line of an email, he is much less likely to delete it without reading it. You could send out articles from your website, links to pages about your new products or a newsletter about your industry. You can add to your subscriber base by informing customers that they will receive special discounts, promotions, or offers by signing up. Thank your customers for their business, and notify them of any sales, specials or new products they might be interested in.

When selling personal products, you probably want to focus on email rather than social networking sites. The only way to know what works and what doesn't is to try a bunch of things and see what sticks.
