Yes, definately. I very rarely click through to read a full post from an excerpt. @ Jodie. Nodding in agreement. Looking cheap comes through to the people reading the emails and looking at your site. And it sets up doubts in their minds as to the credibility of the business. I recently cancelled my membership of a gardening site because it was taking them 3-4 weeks to post out seeds that they had in stock! It was unbelievable! @ Kat. Lovely to see you here Kat! Yep, replying to email is REALLY important! Even if it's an "I'll get back to you" it shows that you have the email and are aware of it. And totally agree with you and Jodie on contact details. Email at the very least. @ Marc. Yes, definately. I very rarely click through to read a full post from an excerpt.

Always always respond to an email, if you can’t answer the question/s at least confirm you have received the email.

Definitely agree with the contact details, they must be found somewhere on the site and easy to find.

(they reek "cheap") - really slow delivery (worse when the people don't have the stock on hand) - excessive postage costs If I think of more, I'll write another comment :) Some things that come to my mind are:

With a passion. I have skipped over so many posts because I cannot be bothered to click through. On the same topic I won't go near an RSS feed from About.com. Not only do they use excerpts in their RSS feeds but you then have to click a link to read the entire post when you get there! <abbr><em>Marc - WelshScribe’s last blog post..<a href="http://welshscribe.co.uk/2009/04/06/7-ways-to-improve-your-commenting/" rel="nofollow">7 Ways To Improve Your Commenting</a></abbr></em> I hate RSS excerpts.
