How Do I Build My Mailing List?

“I need direct marketing ideas, a list of RN , LVN, CNA, with addresses so I can send flyers, postcards and market to these individuals and not all and every one because its more costly, I’m sure there is such a list, I just don’t know where to get it.

I am a Nurse myself and I always get mail from hospital or home health agencies with job offers so where did they get my name and address? and how do they know I’m a Nurse?” – Liz

A – I’m sure your town has a couple of printers who specialize in direct marketing mailings or can help you find someone to create a mailing list for you. Start with your yellow pages. I use Betterlists.com here in Stamford, CT. They have access to databases that can provide current listings of nurses, doctors or almost anything. If you can’t find a list provider in your town you can always use google.com. Just type in “mailing lists, nurses” and use the results to find a provider. – Charlie Cook
