Is there a web site that provides free local mailing lists?

I am trying to get my name out as a new real estate agent. I would like to keep my farm area updated on real estate issues.
Is there a web site that provides free local mailing lists?
Local chambers of commerce often list members. If they don%26#039;t forbid using the addresses for commercial purposes, knock yourself out.

Since you are dealing with a very select clientele, I think you might be better off if you actually purchased a mailing list. There are all sorts of ways you could define your mailing list parameters. Here are a few examples:





- The names of those registering farm equipment





- The names of those with property holding in excess of x-number of acres.





- The names of those with a license to practice farming within a set x-mile radius of where you live.





Too many direct mail marketers make the mistake of sending information to people with absolutely no interest whatsoever in a product or service. This is a huge waste of marketing dollars. The money you save purchasing a mailing list specifically targeted to your select customers could more than pay for itself in postage and printing savings.





If I were you, I%26#039;d check with a direct mail firm and ask what other parameters you could use to target farmers or owners of farm property. A good mailing list - an accurate list with up-to-date names and addresses, should cost you anywhere around $100 per thousand names. Shop around. You don%26#039;t have to use a local firm - a good number of mailing list vendors can be found online.





Good luck.
