Thank you all for your repies. I have noticed with the list services that they want to sell you a subscription to the data which they claim to update continuously (Dun & Bradstreet, Hoovers). I've also spoken with companies that say they can sell a list that I can download and use for as long as I like. And they say they get their data from Dun & Bradstreet. It seems contradictory that D& B wants to license it to me and the others say I can buy the same data for a one time fee.
Most companies I've talked to do want to make a minimum sale of 5000 names. I've been given prices between 12 and 15 cents each up to about 50 cents each. It seems the owners of the data (D&B) want the most money for it.
Yes, I've also looked into the chamber of commerce. I've joined the chamber in Cleveland. I agree that those kinds of groups are the best place to start. My local community chamber is pretty small but I'm going to look into that one too. I'm only pursuing the direct mail / cold calling route because I have to generate more activity than I can with chamber events. I think they are better quality but I need more quantity.
Thank you all again. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.Private Reply to Dan Lorenz (new win) |
