How to Avoid being marked as Spam ?

[fab5freddy]

I have to send out a few hundred emails from my
Google Hosted Service ( Gmail ) for a promotional thing,

and was wondering if there are any things i can do to avoid
being marked as spam to some of my recipients, like certain words
i should avoid or exclamation marks, etc.... ?

thanks!

It is spam, so expect it to be marked as such.

If your users have agreed to receive emails from you, it is not spam. The best way to make sure your emails are received is to ask your users to add you to their address lists.

they are in the same industry as me, and sometimes need my services,
so it is rather targeted email.

But i was just wondering if certain words
make the emails go to the spam folder ....?
