Buying mailing lists - what criteria are you using?

Question

For those that buy mailing lists, what criteria are you using that you have found to be productive?

Any suggestions for the best place to buy lists?

Any suggestions for the best place for the mailers?

I am looking to supplement my driving for dollars lists with some other lists as an add on. We are doing 6 part mail campaigns spaced out every 4 to 5 weeks with a variety of mail pieces.

The numbers just don't work very well there. Same with most Kenner and the Westbank.

I currently have a property under contract in N.O. East. if you don't mind me asking, is there a particular reason why your company doesn't purchase there?

Braden Smith · Answer

Hey @Andrew Pierre. Yes, we have used Listsource and other similar sites. I posted to see what sites other investors like to use and what criteria they are using for the lists such as:

Geography: Orleans Parish

Property: 60 to 100% equity, 7+ years length of residence

Options: Mailing address complete, Exclude corporate-owned, exclude trustee-owned, absentee owned in-state, absentee owned out-of-state

Was also looking to see which direct mail providers other investors are using.

We do purchase from wholesalers. We primarily do rehabs in Orleans and Jefferson parish and prefer the Eastbank, but are not opposed to the Westbank if the deal makes sense. We don't do much in Kenner unless it's in the better areas and we don't buy in N.O. East. We will look at just about anything though, especially if it is a good deal. Add us to your buyers list.

Hey, Braden have you tried listsource or rebogateway? Also, do you purchase from other wholesalers? If so, what is your buying criteria/preferences?
