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. |
