Hi warriors,

the company that I'm working with right now wants to start an email marketing and sms marketing but currently we don't have the list, we need a specific list people from a certain company type like interior designing.

How should we build our list?

    Hey Jan,

    Yes, it would be possible.

    Most often than not, people look at getting Email Lists. Some of them have been around for decades together.

    One thing you need to be aware of is that the Email Lists are either categorized as Consumer Lists of Business Lists.

    What kind of Databases are you looking at? The reason I ask is as an Email Marketing person, I have dealt with different providers and come across various issues where the lists were rented or bought and contained Spam Traps etc.

    The best way that you could look at doing something to build a targeted "niche" list is to first find Companies which belong to that verticals and take it from there. If you have the man power try using the Social Media platforms to gather information about the company and try building connections with them and build rapport.

    This would be more time consuming but, very effective.

      I think it's a business list, since we want to have a contract with a construction, interior designing company.

      thanks for your insights, it does help a lot

    You can go with Facebook Ads, or you can go with a PPV Traffic, that is highly targeted and cheap in terms of Cost Per Lead compared to FB.

    Now using PPV you can literally target the website of your Competitors.

    And you can easily build a huge targeted list by showing your squeeze page on your competitors site.

    There are many PPV networks like TrafficVance, DirectCPV, etc. But they have a upfront deposit of $1000 minimum.

    If you have the budget I suggest you for this, as it's laser targeted.
