Use your list as a prospecting tool. Plan out campaigns with multiple content touches on each contact. A multi-channel approach is suggested for maximum reach to your list. Not everyone buys when they receive the first email you send them. You’ll need to build trust and provide value over time before you can expect to see sales come in. Please call to speak with an Account Executive regarding best practices as well as any questions you may have regarding your upcoming campaign.

Carefully consider your audience. Look at the type of business or individual you want to attract based on your current customers. Do you need to target higher revenues or income levels to achieve your sales goals? Or do you need to contact a COO or a CMO instead of the CEO or owner? Also, consider the type of product or service that you offer.

As an example, if you sell life insurance, not everyone has the disposable income to afford the specific policy that you offer. If you target individuals 35 and older, who have a family and an income above $50k, the probability of them purchasing the policy increases significantly.

We recommend acquiring your dataset when you’re 1-2 weeks away from launching your marketing campaigns/activities.

Clients purchase our lists to prospect for new customers. It’s referred to as an “acquisition campaign.” Constant Contact, MailChimp and similar applications only permit retention mailings. It is not advised to use retention platforms like Mailchimp and Constant Contact. 

Yes, we have a comprehensive list of business and consumer emails, with hundreds of filters, that makes it easy for you to choose a highly targeted email leads list.

Make sure that your offer and call to action are clear. If the recipient can’t find what you have to offer within a few seconds, you’ll lose your opportunity to grab their attention. Also, keep in mind that sending multiple emails over time to your list of prospects will increase your chances of making a sale.

Our online minimum order for postal lists starts at $90 and a list with both email and postal addresses starts at $180 minimum. This is all dependent on the quantity, and how you build your lists.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used to classify business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing important statistical data related to the economy.

A Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is a four-digit number assigned to each business by the U.S. government to classify their given industry.

The cost varies depending on the type of list, fields included in the output, and quantity. Our online tool automatically discounts lists when higher quantities are ordered.
