    Hi Emily,

    If you google "Mailing List Broker" you should find plenty of sources.

    We use Marketingfile.co.uk, but they're primarily for UK data.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks flipfilter,
    It does help me, although I'm not that happy to work with companies. They usually charge really high prices.
    I was wondering if I could find independents that sell those lists but I don't have an idea where to find them :X

    I understand.

    From experience I would never try to save on phone leads. When we test data sources, we ALWAYS get a higher response rate from more established lists (equifax, D&B, experian etc) although they cost more, the yield outweighs this in no time at all.

    Cheaper lists usually means the contacts are used to getting unsolicited calls and hence are just that little bit less responsive when you get them (I think!?)

    Sound good.
    I agree that usually cheap lists won't deliver the goods. However, many companies just take high process for no reason...
    Thank you so much flipfilter :) you helped me a lot. I guess I have a lot of work to do now,
    Wish me luck :)
