Hey guys,
I am considering using an opt-in e-mail campaign to launch a new product (which is nearing completion).
I was wondering if anyone here has any experiences with services that claim to send your e-mail to tens of thousands of opt-in e-mail addresses. I found a few services that claim to be able to send your e-mail to as many as 250,000 or 4,000,000 opt-ins at decent rates (ranging from a few hundred to a thousand US dollars).
I also contacted Entrepreneur.com's advertising department and they told me they rent out their e-mail list at 5 cents per address (and they are listed as a source of e-mail addresses at one of the companies I allude to above).
So has anyone here ever used opt-in lists for marketing? If so, what were your experiences?
I was hoping to send out to about 100,000 e-mails targeted toward people who subscribed to business-related lists. I am hoping that this generates at a bare minimum 3 sales for me (I am selling my product at $87) so that I can at least make my money back on sending the e-mail, though of course the more I sell the better.
What do you guys think?
(BTW, if you want to check out one of those companies go here: http://www.americaint.com/guaranteed-traffic/opt-in-email-marketing.html . The reason I suspect they are pretty legit is that they do offer up a phone number and physical address for their business, so I don't think it's some sort of basement/shady operation.)
