I'm looking to contact people in a certain vertical and found a number of providers that sell a database of opt-in and double opt-in email lists. Some range from next to nothing to $.005 per.
BTW, this is for a mainstream marketing company, not pushing adult content to the public
Right now we have a sales rep calling these people to get their email and send them information. 33% open rate of 200 sent, so pretty good, however only about 100 emails can be collected per day.
I know buying the list will lower the quality of the email, but anyone have experience?
