When I ran the bookshop, one of our biggest difficulties was building up the email newsletter list to a reasonable level, and maintaining it. People were always dropping in, shopping for a while, then getting bored with us and dropping out. Well, at least that’s what you had to assume, as some just stopped responding and vanished. On the other hand we made some good friends amongst these customers, even though we never met most of them.
Because we were a niche market, there was little point in buying a ready-made list of email customers, and in a way, chasing new customers had something of the hunt about it. However, businesses with different markets would no doubt benefit from buying or renting a list, and there are some phenomenally wide-ranging lists around. Martin Worldwide, for instance, possesses a database of over 290 million consumers and 14 million U.S. businesses. That makes our little list at the shop look rather paltry. Still, we made sales through it, and that was the aim!
Martin Worldwide act as a telemarketing lists broker, amongst other things, and offer turnkey marketing solutions. Okay, turnkey marketing isn’t a phrase I’m particularly familiar with, and I had to do a bit of hunting around to find out that it means – I think! – marketing that’s up and running and ready to go for the person wanting the job done. I guess it comes from the idea that you turn the key in your (new) home and voila! everything is ready waiting for you.

I am pleased to announce that I have recently teamed up with the industries finest marketing advisors to form “Lead General”. This move has given me the opportunity to grow in countless ways including being able to offer the absolute best price, faster turn around times, extremely high data quality, as well as more personal one on one customer service care. Consumer data starts at $0.024 per record with an order minimum of $150.00 (6250 records). A basic record includes name, address, demographic selections, and phone number. Business data starts at $0.04 per record. A basic record includes business name, top contact name and title, address, and phone number. Unlimited selects for both consumer and business data. All our data is 98% deliverable, we update every month as opposed to quarterly using certified NCOA (National Change of Address) and DNC (Do Not Call) software. The list is yours to own so it allows you to build or continue to build your personal database.
