Now days, it can be a very time consuming endeavor to get all the right ingredients put together for a great and user friendly site, but once you have the site all done...
You still need to get your product or service in front of the buying public,and this alone can be a daunting task indeed, unless you have a good plan.
That’s where Lead Lists come into play ! Specifically, "Business leads or Consumer lead lists or databases".
In general, leads can be acquired individually or in bulk, and since buying leads one at a time can get very costly (not a good thing), this article will focus on Bulk size lead lists.You may think bulk would be costly too, but it is not. It is actually much cheaper in bulk, and bulk lists can provide massive amounts of leads for pennies per lead. You just have to shop a little.
Sometimes you can find a free lists, but in general, a good lead lists cost something in the line of $10 (for the more popular lists) to $250 (for the more unique lists). However, some of the unique or massive lists can sell for as much as $1,000 each. $1,000 list are rare, so don’t worry about them. Mostly used by the big corporations. It just depends on the list and the company you choose to buy it from.In general, good lead lists are very affordable, even for small and med businesses.
How to USE Business Lead Lists or Databases:The idea is to get a hold of large amounts of contact data on potential buyers, relating as closely as possible to the product you are trying to promote. 1. For example: You are selling flowers, so you might want to have the contact info for all florists that might be interested in your flowers. At least the local database on potential buyers or maybe even a nationwide database of Florist.2. You also might want to offer the flowers to the general public in a specific area or state, so you might want a database with the contact info for businesses & consumers in a specific geographical area.
Now, before acquiring any leads: You should decide exactly what information you need and how you would use it if you had it.
Meaning;* Would you want email people and or companies with your promotions ? A: Then you would want the business email list of addresses.
* Would you want to call them on the phone: A: Then you will need the business phone numbers.
* Would you want to mail out some beautiful flyers ? A: Then you will need the street address of all those who might be interested, right !
* Would you want to Fax some of your promotional info ?A: Then you will need the Fax numbers, too.
So…..you need a business leads list with business email addresses, business phone numbers, business addresses and Fax numbers.
It would take far too much time to compile this info yourself, and there are companies that do that for a living. Besides, the cost of just buying an existing database is cheap !
These bulk size lists do exist and are sometimes referred to as “database solutions”. Finding reputable database providers is the key, since there are some scam type companies out there. They may actually provide a list, but it may be substandard, way out of date or sometimes the list isn’t what you wanted or expected at all.
I recommend http//DBShack.com- because they have such a wide variety of up-to-date USA and International databases to choose from and you get to see a sample of what the list will be. Also, their prices are much less than others I've looked at. I believe DBShack to be one of the honest ones on the net (that means a lot to me).
Whichever company you choose to buy from is up to you of course, but a good comprehensive Business Leads List is the only way to go.
