Fresh Email Lead

Fresh email leads forward prospective client information, as a service to paying customers, and can be a great source of new customers for Internet businesses. A fresh email lead includes the emailing address for a person who is interested in a certain type of product or service, as the potential customer has indicated. To get these, a business owner must sign up to receive them through a special service that generates leads. These services get fresh prospects from websites that are set up for specific products or services. Visitors to the site are asked to fill out an online form with their email address. By sharing their address, prospective customers are giving the website permission to share it with its affiliates.

Many companies advertise this service for business owners. However, the only difference between a fresh email lead and any others, is that they have been submitted to the website within the past 15 days. This is key in purchasing information for prospective customers. A company doesn't want to pay for an address that's old or cancelled. Although the service can't guarantee that all addresses sold are accurate, the service should guarantee that the address was obtained legally.

However, receiving the information for a potential client is not enough. Fresh email leads only really benefits a buyer if it is used. Therefore, it is imperative that the information is followed up on quickly because, "In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury" (Proverbs 14:23). Once businesses have the address in hand, they'll want to send a solicitation for their services or their website. How many responses the business gets to those solicitations often depends on how many leads were purchased. If a business purchases 100,000 leads for a few pennies each, a few thousand people may respond. The response usually results in a visit to the business's website.

These services can be found all over the Internet. Some local marketing companies offer fresh email lead services as well. Before purchasing information for prospective customers, however, business owners will want to make sure that the company they deal with is reputable. Also, the company must have a no-spam policy. Fresh email leads will occasionally not come from the addresses' owner, but this is not the fault of the service. Sometimes people fill out forms with an address that's not their own.

As with any type of advertising, these also should be purchased in small amounts to start out. Business owners need to see if it works for them before they put too much money into an ineffective marketing tool. Many Internet businesses, however, find fresh email leads to be key in getting a new customer. All in all, trial and error is the only way to determine if this type of marketing is right for a business.
