Need suggestion on reaching local businesses

I have done a LOT of "local, unsolicited email" and have never had a "problem" or complaint. Whether you will, who knows.

I think the reason I have not had any "problems" is because;
1) The message is sent to a "niche" market who, for the lost part, is interested in what I am offering. It's not like sending an ad for "Viagra" to everyone.
2) The mesage is short. I keep mine to 4 sentences at most.
3) I include a Link to a web page.
4) I include a "disclaimer" which says, "If you do not want to receive any further emails from us, please click Reply and put "Remove" in the subject line. Thank you."
