How To Get Names and Addresses for Local Small Businesses?

admin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 04:43:36 +0000

I have a small business I run on the side and I can do everything operationally EXCEPT sales. I have small direct marketing ideas that could go out to my targeted business owners (local, small businesses are my target) via direct mail pieces but I’m unsure how to get access to a database of businesses to mail to once I have the mailers printed up?

BTW-I am already optimized for Search and doing online marketing. I specifically am interested in offline direct mail.

Any advice/ideas appreciated!!!

I have a writing and editing services company, and we currently have $4500 of our operating budget.

How much of my marketing budget should I allocate for online marketing?

This sounds utterly laughable, but can a Series 6 holder sell mutual funds by direct-mail?

Are marketing techniques also regulated? Of course, by direct mail, I don’t mean sending out a post card that says “Send me a check!” but something more like “For more information, call this number.”

I’m interested in selling mutual funds, but not by calling people on the phone day and night. I would much rather find clients through other means–even something as silly as direct mail. Thanks for your help.

How important is a good location when opening up a sandwich shop. Isn’t direct marketing just as good in bringing in customers with a good direct mail advertisement, or a good newspaper advertisement?
