List Management.
Make the Most of Your Marketing List
Your list is your business’s single most valuable asset. Isn’t it time to start treating it that way?

LIST ACQUISITION
When it comes to acquiring marketing lists, you have 3 main options: Build, Buy, or Borrow.
Build
It takes a lot of time and keen research skills, but building a list from scratch typically yields a fresher, more accurate and targeted audience for your marketing and lead generation campaigns. Whether you need to centralize and format existing data from across your business or want to create a brand new list from square one, Blayzer’s expert data team can build you the list of your dreams.
Buy
If building a list by hand doesn’t sound doable, an easier (though riskier) alternative is to buy one. Purchasing a list can be confusing the first few times around. Not only can the process send creative-minded marketers running for the hills, but the data provider marketplace is clouded by disreputable organizations selling junk lists. A lot of businesses have been burned by buying a bad list. You could follow in their footsteps and feel the pains of list acquisition for yourself. Or, you could leverage Blayzer’s experience and save yourself the headache. We’ve vetted and built strong relationships with a handful of quality data sources for purchased lists. We don’t recommend buying lists to every client, but when the strategy requires, we can point you in a reputable direction.
Borrow
An alternative method that has grown more popular in recent years is borrowing, or renting contact lists. In addition to the traditional system of publishers and brands renting out their contact lists to third party marketers, new services have popped up on the market that provide access to a searchable or downloadable database of contacts for a subscription free. This option gives you access to high volumes of data at a relatively low cost, and is a great fit for companies with broad appeal and many target audiences. Blayzer can help you choose a reputable data partner and assist you with using the solution to its fullest potential.

Data Append
What if you have a list, but it’s incomplete or growing old? Can you simply update or add to the information you already have? Yes, you can, through a process called data append. With data appends you can do things like match email addresses to a direct mail list or take advantage of Facebook and Twitter custom/tailored audiences to laser target your social advertising.
Using many of the same reputable data sources we use for list acquisition Blayzer can enhance your existing list with all sorts of useful marketing data:
