[theBiz]

Hey im looking to buy emails for businesses looking to buy something already. Lets say someone knows they want a used honda civic.


Can i buy these lists?
Are they very expensive?
Can i buy them in a targeted area?
How effective are these, useless, or do they work?

there is a topic on this, possibly a few of them. Places like info USA and several other large list companies sell this type of data in different mediums.

this is a questions where you need to research first and ask questions later.

Yes... make SURE you investigate your options in great depth before jumping at one with your wallet.

I have a friend who deals with lists and mailing to them for an extremely large company in Florida. A vast majority of lists that you'll find will be trash. But there are gems out there, but they come at a cost depending on the volume you seek, and how "clean" the list is.

A bad list will ruin more than your day. Many lists are seeded with spam-cop email addresses who will get you blacklisted everywhere, and the occasional spam fanatic who will make your life miserable. Make sure the list you buy is constantly filtered and cleaned for bad addresses, and matched against known problem lists.
