    Hello All,

    I want to create a brand of my company in the global market. I found that email marketing is the easiest and cheapest way to create a brand in the market.

    But now i am facing a biggest problem is the database...... if i go into the market for purchasing the same it cost me little high as per my budget. So i decided to grab the data from different directories.

    Now can any one suggest me any other and cheaper way to build a good targeted database, or could you guys help me out to get some directory listing from i get the email id's along with the other contact details.

    Please guys help me out in building my database......:)

    thanks
    Rob

    What you are trying to do is sending unsollicited emails = SPAM, most of which will not be read and end up straight in the bin with a big chance of getting you blacklisted.

    Better to put a form on your site where visitors can leave their email freely and expect to receive mail from you.

    no its not spam

    you can contact business ppls

    you can even call them up

    sending them affiliate links is spam..

    if contacting business was spam..

    then no business on earth would ever possible..

    Say i am a Medicine importer

    I have medicine in stock

    I can contact all the usa pharmacy and ask them if they would need medicine from me and give them my price and details etc..

    this is not spam..

    you guys are glued to your computer screen .. and what you have in your stock.. ? other then the affiliate links

    you cannot spam your affiliate links anywhere

    craiglist think its spam
    yahoo answer think its spam
    forums think its spam
    ppl you email think its spam..
    youtube think its spam..
    search engines think its spam
    everywhere you put its spam

    real business is way different then the affiliate links..

    you need to have product or services and you can only contact targated market

    example when i m importing medicine i cannot contact all the stores that sell fish..


    but according to consumers

    you cannot just get a consumer list and blast them all

    until they not requested something from you..

    and they must optin to your list..or provide you email some way..


    B2B contact isnt spam..

    Hey,

I have search most of the directories and also i have grab the data from yellopages, superpage, then so many other directories but the problem is when i fire these email id half of them get failed due to bad domain name or user acc closed.

    can u guys please help me to get the list of some good directories from where i can grab the data......

    the problem is yellow pages and super pages emails are spammed to death..

    only way you can contact them is Tele Marketing

    if you are from USA you can use SKYPE

    if you are NON USA.. you can USA ICALL>COM free++

    but most ppl use a hosted predictive dialer and unlimited voip mins.. for $50 month or so..

    It auto dials numbers from excel cvv..
    it detects answering machines busy numbers etc and connects with you only live person numbers.. or sends a pre recorded voice mail (if answering machine was detected)

    or you can use voice broadcasting system..

    other way is direct mail marketing.. (postal service)

    for email marketing to work..

    you need to rent optin email list from big email leads brokers in the USA.

    (to tell you the truth.. nothing is free anymore in this world.. not even water.)

    That is the only reason not everyone can be successful in life..
