Mail list rental

Mail list rental, also known as mailing list rental or list rental, is a service where a company rents a list of email addresses or physical mailing addresses from another company or individual. The renting company uses the list to send targeted marketing messages, such as promotional emails, direct mail, or telemarketing campaigns.

Here are some key aspects of mail list rental:

  3. Phone lists: A list of phone numbers that can be used for telemarketing campaigns.

Benefits:

  1. Targeted marketing: Renting a list allows you to target specific demographics, industries, or geographic locations.
  2. Cost-effective: Renting a list can be more cost-effective than building your own list from scratch.
