Where Can I Get A Direct Offline Mailing List?

Hello,

I am looking to try out an offline marketing campaign for a program that I am promoting. I usually always use online methods to promote such as e-mails, social media, articles, etc. I want to try sending out some postcards/flyers with my website on it but I don't know where to get a quality consumer mailing list. I see places you can buy them all over the internet but how do I know if they are trustworthy and even giving me real addresses? Any help would be appreciated because I have never used this method before and do not know much about it. Thank you

      I think that's the hard part which is finding a reliable source. There's so many sites out there that will sell you what they call leads, but then you shortly find out they are all garbage. I am hoping someone who has personally used this method can give me some advice. I will let you know if I find a source though!

    You should try local yellow pages directory or classified sites and search for specific city you will get most of the information from there

      Thank you for that advice Skillboyz. I have actually thought about giving that a try but I was hoping to find a list of targeted leads that are interested in business opportunities. If I just go through the local yellow pages I feel like my conversion rates will not be as high. Thanks again!

    You can check out reviews about the company. Just look up online however do not get carried away with some feedback, others just post negative comments because of competition.

    when working direct response, Targeting is very important. Age, networth, interests etc know these things will help you buy a decent list. I'd start small, find a single area, a zip code or neighborhood to really build your own personal list of buyers.

    alot of the time people blame the list but more often then people are aware of the direct mail package just sucks.

    Get your list as targeted as you can, then focus on making the direct mail piece ss great as it can be.

    To your success,
