I'd expect 1 to 2% return on your emailing of current customers unless it's a product that is a step up from what they pay for now.

Also, just having pictures may burn you bad. Just picture sites are very very tough to run. I know a large part of our client base are picture people. I may be wrong but I believe the people that join just picture sites are collectors (ie they join Twistys, ATK, Karups). Without video I see horrible retention and low customer satisfaction. If you want to run just picture charge a lower fee like $3.95 a month and get people in then upsell the hell out of them to your videos or to other sites in similar niches.
thank you for the input, my #s for the sell rate to current customers was also 1-2%. i will take a closer look at the pay structure for the membership side based on your comments. the goal of the pic side is to upsell to the videos,in fact.
