Q. How Are your
Lists Generated?
A. First of all, you need to know that there are
two types of mailing lists: Compiled and Response Lists. Compiled
lists are derived from telephone directories, auto registrations,
public records and surveys. Response lists are derived from known
mail order buyers, subscribers to magazines and from responses to
advertisements for specific offers. Our lists are response lists
generated from our own direct marketing efforts and advertisements.
We place ads for many moneymaking, business and MLM opportunities in
nearly every opportunity publication available. In addition, we also
purchase actual responses from a select few mail order
operators.
Q. What is the difference between Opportunity
Seeker Names and Buyers?
A. Opportunity Seeker names can be just about
anything. Many times these are people that have responded to a “Free
Information” type ad. They have not necessarily sent any money to
purchase any money or business related product or service. These
folks are yet to be “qualified” as buyers and are general prospects
at best. These names tend to be less responsive than buyers.
Buyers, on the other hand, are people that have actually
purchased something related to a business or moneymaking
opportunity. The purchase price can be any amount – the point is
that they are qualified by the fact that they sent money to receive
a product or information. You should always try to match your
product to the amount of the average purchase. For example, if you
were selling a product that costs $100 you would not try to rent a
list where the average purchase was only $5.00.
Q. How are your lists maintained and
cleaned?
A. Our lists are entered and maintained into our
state-of-the art computer system. When we enter the names we note
what they purchased, the date and where the response came from. We
enter names on a daily basis and “clean” the list daily as well.
Cleaning the list means that we take out any undeliverables, known
prison or military addresses, dead beats and other worthless names.
We also CASS certify our lists, which means we run them through the
U.S. Postal Service data base of addresses to be corrected, deleted
as necessary and the zip + four zip codes added.
Q. How will my names be sorted? Are
specific regions available?
A. Generally, orders are filled in random
zip-code order. If you require zip code sorted lists, please let us
know and we will provide them that way. Also, if you prefer a
specific region (west coast, etc) we can do that as well. There is
an up charge of $10 per order for zip sorted or specific
regions.
Q. How do you prevent duplicate
names?
A. Preventing duplicates is done by “purging” the
list on a regular basis. We first look for the same names and zip
codes, then the same addresses (sometimes people have responded
under a different address). The result is a list that is as free of
duplicate names as possible.
Q. What is a “Hot-Line”
list?
A. A
Hot Line list consists of recent buyers – usually within 30 – 60
days old. Many list companies charge a premium for Hot Line
names.
Q. How old are the names on your
list?
A. Our lists are constantly being added to and
cleaned. Some names are just hours old. Some are as old as 90 – 120
days but are still active. Don’t be swayed by those companies that
claim ALL their names are less than 30 days old. Besides, some of
the better names are older than 30 or 60 days. This is because many
people entering mail order come in and drop out very quickly, within
the first month or so. So, while these names may be “fresh”, they
are not necessarily responsive. On the other hand, many names that
are months old have proven to be repeat buyers of business and
moneymaking opportunities. These are quality names.
Q. Do your names include phone
numbers?
A. Our normal “Prime Choice” in-house leads do
not contain phone numbers. However, we do have a specific list that
includes phone numbers. If you have any specific questions about
this list, please give us a call.
Q. Can my list order include special key codes
on the labels?
A. By all means! Many customers will want to code
the labels so that they know which lists are producing orders. If
you want any specific key codes just let us know and we’ll have them
printed on the labels.
Q. How long will it take me to receive my
order? How will my order ship?
A. All orders shipped from TJT Marketing
Associates are generally shipped within 24 hours, unless there is a
problem beyond our control. All our orders are shipped via First
Class Mail. Orders for 1,000 names or more are shipped via Priority
Mail or UPS, depending on how many names were ordered. Next day
Express Mail or DHL Delivery is available for an additional cost,
depending on the size of the order.
Q. What is the maximum number of new names
available each month?
A. We generate approximately 8,000-15,000 new
names each month from our OWN advertising. However, with our
exclusive purchase arrangements we can produce up to 100,000 fresh
names each month. If you or your customer has a need for more just
let us know. If we cannot provide them from our own in-house
databases we can usually obtain them. You can be assured they will
all be high quality names with the same guarantee for nixies.
Q. If I order, will I receive the same names
twice?
A. No. When you order from us we carefully track
which names were sent. If you order again we will be sure to send
different names.
Q. Will I receive the same names you have
provided to others working the same program?
A. No, we will not knowingly send the same names
to people promoting the same programs or products. This is why we
ask for a sample of the program being mailed. However, if the name
is on our list, they may certainly be on other lists as well. In
this case, we cannot guarantee that they will not receive the
program you are mailing someone else. This is why many programs
become saturated in the market. There are only so many qualified
names available for those types of opportunities. Also, many people
do not tell us what program they are mailing.
Q. What if I have other
questions?
A. We are here to help you. You can contact
us by phone, fax, e-mail or mail. If you contact us by mail, please
include a SASE for a reply. If you call, please have your questions
prepared so that we can give you the information you need quickly
and efficiently.
Q. Are you associated with any
mailing, MLM company or other "program?"
A. We are a direct marketing services company
specializing in mailing lists, among other products and services. We
provide business and money-making opportunity leads. These people
have shown an interest in purchasing legitimate business,
money-making, extra income or work-at-home opportunities. While we
spend thousands of dollars each month to obtain high quality leads
we certainly cannot guarantee that they will respond to any
particular offer. We cannot be held responsible for any results or
lack of results when mailing to these
names.
You may have been referred to us by
a company or individual as a place to obtain names. Many companies
and individuals refer customers to us as a provider of leads because
of our reputation for providing quality mailing lists. Please understand that we are in no way associated
with the company or individual who may have referred
you. Any questions you may
have about the program, product, service or opportunity you are
promoting should be directed to the company you purchased the
program or product from. We cannot answer any questions about
programs or products and do not endorse any product or program.
We highly suggest you investigate the
company you are promoting and/or the legitimacy or legality of the
product or program with
The Better Business Bureau, Postal Inspector, State Attorney General
or the FTC before you participate.
Q. Do you guarantee any response rate? What type of
response can I expect to my mailing?
A. There is
simply NO WAY anyone can guarantee a certain response rate for ANY
list. Anyone
who does is lying to you. There are simply too many variables
involved
in a direct mailing package. While are names are as described and we
believe in the quality of them, we cannot and do not guarantee or imply
that you will receive any specific response rate when mailing to
these names. We mail to our names ourselves with
very good response and have many customers who reorder time and
again with great results. However, much has to do with WHAT you are
mailing and HOW your offer is
presented. |
