Bulk E-mail Marketing
Not the most exciting topic for e-mail marketers but I know much of the industry does not like this group of folks. Recently you could purchase a list from InfoUSA for around $500. Now some are saying you are able to get 3,000,000 leads from this purchase. Scary, considering much of the hype around building mailing lists from opt-in programs seem to drive prospects/visitors away, rather than enticing them to stay around and listen to the story.
