Why mass mail? Why not a little more established way?
I think it was better to find a retail organisation who'd
ask the vendors. Anticipated profit is more convincing than
50 to 150 (maybe even annoying) mails from uncertain endcustomers.
Here in Germany i'd have a partner, and we are thinking about
a commercial software collection plus installation support
with purchasable key-enabled installation option for each
contained product. This had certainly a better chance if it
would have an international base.
Anyone interested in participation?
Lars
