Infofree.com Alternatives?

I called them after seeing this thread last week. I signed on with them 10 months ago with a $24.95 per month promo code. I only run about 2K names per month which gives me more business than I can keep up with so a minimum wouldn't bother me. But I was told my promo rate and unlimited plan would remain as long as I kept it in place. We'll see when month 13 arrives. I do get 6-9% bad address return rate, but close rate makes it a great investment even with first-class postage.

your bad address return rate is unusually high. we have average 1-2% in our area. Still for the price it is a good value, and their site is very easy to use, and instant download capability is convenient to say the least.

It seemed high to me, too. Overall ROI has been huge so I've not been moved to shop this. If InfoFree terms do change I'll be looking around.

Return rates with any list vendor will depend on the area. Try mailing to Stockton CA, the foreclosure capital of the world right now. 6-9% of the addresses from a few months ago may not be valid today, just the way it is.

Josh - are your lists NCOA verified and updated?

For 2000 a month, it may not be worth it, but back when I did more direct mail, I would run my list through NCOA (National Change of Address) and it would flag the movers, I'd eliminate them, then had almost 100% delivered.

Of course, I was mailing property tax records. The NCOA update would catch about 5%. Tax Assessor must go crazy on this stuff.

Sure are. The master database is updated regularly (aggregated from over 300 sources). On top of that, each time someone orders a mailing list I do an NCOA scrub on that file when I pull it right before it's sent out.

All good points here, but think VaDwayne has a valid point. I love cheesecake and could eat it every day. It's expensive and if you gave me unlimited cheesecake or X per month (either option being more than I can eat)...I'd get sick and very obese (lol). Have to ask what your needs are per month keeping in mind that you'll be recycling that list several times per month. Perhaps a bad analogy, but maybe you get the point.

actually, no, I don't think anyone got your point. what was it supposed to be?

lol...sorry going on little sleep as have been sick. You can have an unlimited amount of something or more than you need and it's a waste. Why pay for something that you don't need? Find a data plan that provides for your usage at a price that works.

If I can have 1 piece of cheesecake for $50 or I can get unlimited pieces of cheese cake for $35 I think I'd order the unlimited and eat what I wanted...
