List Brokers
List Brokers have access to large volumes of data organized by demographic and geographic information. For instance, if you wish to send a mailing to a specific age group of women in your city with a certain income level, they can compile the list of names and addresses for you. List brokers can also help you with names and addresses of businesses that meet criteria such as number of employees, annual revenue, industry type, etc.
The list is typically provided in a text or spreadsheet file and can be used either once or as many times as you need for a predefined period of time, usually one year.
Most direct mail companies also provide list broker services. However, you will usually pay a little more per address from a direct mail company. The benefit is that a direct mail vendor can usually handle all aspects of the mailing, including compiling the list, producing the materials, and delivering them to the post office.
