			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to direct mail, the price is the same if you send one piece to 5,000 different customers or if you send five pieces to just 1,000 targeted customers. At first glance it seems like you would end up with more sales if you reach more people, but in reality, if you are not reaching the type of customer who is the most likely to buy your product, sales will suffer.</p>
<p>Marketing to a small number of customers who are more likely to buy will net you more sales than marketing to a larger customer group that is not as interested in your product. You have to have the right information about your customers before you begin your marketing campaign.</p>
<p> Before developing any campaign, you should know when each customer on the mailing list last purchased a product from you or a competitor; how often that customer buys your product or similar offerings; and what amount she tends to spend for the product or services.</p>
<p> So make sure your sales leads are for targeted customers only, and include the information you need to make informed sales decisions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how well designed your marketing campaign is, you will not get the response rates and conversions you want if you do not have a high quality targeted mailing list. If you are sending your marketing messages to people who are not interested in your products or services, you are wasting your time and money on the wrong leads.</p>
<p>You need leads that are pre-screened to determine if their interests, age, income, and other socioeconomic factors match that of your target market. Because your direct marketing will only be successful if you market to the right people, you need to know things like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gender</li>
<li>Age</li>
<li>Date of Birth</li>
<li>Income</li>
<li>Net Worth</li>
<li>Affluence</li>
<li>Education Level</li>
<li>Presence of Children</li>
<li>Marital Status</li>
<li>Ethnicity</li>
<li>Homeowner status</li>
<li>Buying Habits</li>
<li>Special Interests/Hobbies</li>
<li>Donors/Contributors</li>
<li>Pet Owners</li>
<li>Travelers</li>
<li>Presence of Credit Cards</li>
<li>Investors</li>
<li>Health Info</li>
<li>Magazine Subscriptions</li>
</ul>
<p>It is essential to compile targeted leads for your marketing campaign. WholesaleMailingLists.net provides the finest consumer mailing lists and residential mailing lists.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All too often people think of sales as trying to convince people to buy something they don&#8217;t need or want.  That just isn&#8217;t what it is really supposed to be about, however.  Successful marketing revolves around creating useful products that either satisfy a need or want for the customer and continually improving on products and ideas to make them even better. </p>
<p>If sales are down you might consider ways to amp up your marketing campaign.  Perhaps you need to increase the number and frequency of your direct mailings?  You might need to buy a more targeted mailing list or even a <a href="http://www.wholesalelists.net/response_databases.php" target="_blank">response list</a>.  Maybe you need to improve the quality of your mailings in either appearance or copy?  Or maybe you need to consider what your customers want and make an improvement to either the product or the offer.</p>
<p>Taking the time to see things from your customers&#8217; point of view will help you create better products as well as understanding how to market them more effectively.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Intecâ„¢ Wholesale Lists Guide To Becoming A Buying Guru Of Effective Business Leads</p>
<p>The Intecâ„¢ Wholesale Lists family would like to educate those of you who are business owners and those of you who simply are ones that purchase or may wish to purchase <a href="http://www.wholesalelists.net/business_databases.php" title="Business Leads">business leads</a>. No matter who you are or where in the world you come from, in order to become a buying guru of effective business leads, we here at Intecâ„¢ Wholesale Lists urge you to educate yourselves and follow these 10 simple guidelines to becoming a buying guru of effective business leads.</p>
<p>1. Determine a logical budget for your business leads. Set forth a total budget you wish to spend on your business lead campaign whether it is a direct mail campaign or a telemarketing campaign. Be realistic to optimize the effectiveness of your business leads campaign.</p>
<p>2. Determine your ideal target business audience. What is the exact type of business you wish to reach? Maybe you wish to reach multiple businesses. Find the ones that would most benefit in the immediate and future sales for your company.</p>
<p>3. Do your research first. Businesses are selectable by what is known in the industry as SIC CODES or Standard Industry Codes. Go to the pioneers of <a href="http://www.wholesalelists.net/business_databases.php" title="Business Data">business data</a> who have been around for over 50 years at Dunn &amp; Bradstreet to select your SIC Codes. But be pre-warned of the sky high pricing you will find there. Only use this site to effectively select your ideal SIC Codes for your business leads and then write them down and bring them to your Consultant/Advisor at Intecâ„¢ Wholesale Lists.</p>
<p>4. Find a business lead consultant/advisor, not a salesman. Would you rather have a consultant/advisor who is a friend as well or just some salesman who is out to get his/her next sale? Be smart!! Come to Intecâ„¢ Wholesale Lists where we treat every client and potential client like a part of the family. We guarantee the highest in customer service and the most honest advice one can get anywhere. We will not steer you wrong in your campaign. We want you as a long term family member, not a one time sale. Call us the &#8216;Jerry Maguire&#8217; of Business Lead Consultants/Advisors.</p>
<p>5. Respect your business; donâ€™t settle on cheap business leads. If you were a professional skydiver, would you buy your gear at the Dollar Store? The answer: Heck NO!! This is your business life we are talking about. Donâ€™t be a statistic when your chute doesnâ€™t deploy.  Land safely on your feet running!!!</p>
<p>6. Telemarketing vs Direct Mail Telemarketing is the least expensive route your company can select to use. The only costs involved are the business leads you buy and the cost you pay the people to call them. Within direct mail, you have to factor in printing and postage costs. The going rate for postage on 4&#215;6 postcards is 23 Â½ cents each.</p>
<p>7. Business Lead Price Comparison.  Stay away from <a href="http://www.wholesalelists.net/business_databases.php" title="Business Leads">business leads</a> which are too cheap for they are most likely out of date or inaccurate or come from an unreliable source. Also, donâ€™t buy leads which are too expensive for you are most likely only buying into the name of the company, not the quality of the business lead. For Example: Dunn &amp; Bradstreet.</p>
<p>8. Trust your business lead consultant/advisor. You must trust in the trained professional abilities of your business lead consultant/advisor. He/She is Your Portal Through The Data World.</p>
<p>9. Start small, finish large. Donâ€™t dive in head first!! Start off with a test campaign if you are a first time buyer and then allow us to help you build your business to be a large success. Be realistic of what your expectations are for your results. Industry standard on direct mail campaigns are a return of only 1-2%.</p>
<p>10.Treat your business lead consultant/advisor like a part of your family. Show us the respect you would your own family member. Be honest and polite with us at all times. Be courteous in a professional business manner. Donâ€™t make us promises you can not keep. Tell us what is real, not what you think we need to hear. By this, we are able to most effectively consult and advise you on the proper forward movement of your business lead campaign. Help us to help you!! If you are not honest with us, time and money will be lost lost!!</p>
