My new company has built up a list of customers and contacts over the last 6 months and now they are looking to market to it. They have no experience in this type of marketing and are just in the beginning stages.


I would appreciate any help or feedback on how to implement a marketing plan.

I see alot of people doing adswaps and not sure of exactly what the benefit of doing this is.

    Figure out other offerings you can make to them... For instance if its a Real Estate attorney, send them an email and let them know that they also do wills and bankruptcys... etc... many times people dont realize that companies or professionals do more than one thing.

    What Niche are you in?

    How did you get your subscribers?

    Are your subscribers double opt-in?

    And much much more.

    It's not just the list size but it's the list quality.

    BTW, the rule of thumb is to provide value to the list and don't just bombard their inbox with promotions. Promote what you list is interested in and other stuff.

    That's all the help I can provide you with this much information

      Everyone thank you for taking the time to reply.

      Here is more information I had to do some research on.

      The list is of our customers.
      This is not an opt in list.
      The business deal with Gold Buying and Gold Parties.
      The customer are a mix of people that have sold their gold and of people who have signed up as independent reps.
      We dont sell products we just buy from our customers that is why we are not sure of what to market to them or how to go about it.

      The list has been growing by about 500-1000 a week over the couple of months.

    anybody selling their gold usually would be responsive to credit card/ debt reduction/consolidation type offers.
