    Mass Email?

    Can anyone recommend a site which offer mass email campaigns to targeted databases?

    Has anyone used one of these services and found them good/bad?

    I dont know, but I think its best to build up your mailing list and use something like mailchimp or aweber.

    Mel hit the nail on the head!

    Even companies that I have experienced are not 100% legit with their list pr their demographic selectors. Bloating the list with multiple aliases to the same domain and false emails is too common place.

    The only list broker I ever had trust and respect for went out of business a couple of years ago, so I don't feel comfortable even recommending any.

    Best bet is to use a social/advertising campaign to build a list over the next 30 days, through your own site, then you have your own fresh, targeted list. You can also consider advertising with ezine lists as both a direct marketing and a list building method.

    Sound advice. Or invest the money in SEO and bring users to you, rather than sending out mass emails with the hope that some of them take up your calls to action.

    Agreed! Your list is...your list! You know where it came from, you targeted the potential customers, you know it's true and real. Spend the money you would have spent on purchasing a list on Facebook and Google ads. Maybe create a squeeze page and send respondents there.

    I agree. Cannot trust some of these mailing list companies. I am doing my own mailing lists

    I agree with mtnjkwe and others. Make your own list, because then you control the list, it's contents and it's distribution.

    This technique has worked well for me and my clients.
