Kat, take this:

1. Average WP audience is spammer, player, lousy useless blogger (80%) or wanabe affiliate for someone else.

2. WP is a platform to support, but not a platform to be based on.

3. Target people who sell stuff, not people who use wordpress.org blogs. Then % off sale starts to make sense. But then these people start not liking giving up % off their sales either.

4. Whats your USP? My wife sells high end dog collars through ECWID. Make me an offer. Don't just be "Yet Another". Be a "Wow!"

5. You email is a win. Keep doing stuff this way and people and businesses will turn your way big time. Why? Because anyone else is ignored by everyone else. People (businesses) LOVE personal attention.
