Re: Mailing Lists

Hello Yasmeen,

Your library will probably carry one or more directories (ask the reference
desk librarian) of such lists in printed form. Obviously you will spend
hours entering this information into a computer. ABI (American Business
Information) sells sets of CD-ROMs with names and addresses of people for
both consumers and businesses. These are compiled with some basic
demographic information allowing you to compile simple mailing lists (your
library may have this in a crippled form - i.e. Allowing you to download a
few names at a time.

As a professional service provider, you probably have a profile of your
"ideal" customer.

You would be better off paying even 0.10+ a name to get the right kind of
list (your lifetime value of a client runs probably in the hundreds of
dollars).

A few thoughts.
