Bulk email

I have a small business that I am just starting….I need some customers but I have spent all my money getting it set up!

People sell them on ebay all the time, but they cancelled all my auctions.
It is a list of 250,000 various emails from hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc…. The price is $9.99. It cost more than that to get. They usualy cost over $100.

I’m starting another small business and am looking for some software that creates customer and mailing lists. If possible I would like one that can be integrated into other business software as the outlook for this business is very good and huge growth is a pretty sure thing. Does anybody out there have some suggestions on this type of software? I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you for your time.

Could anyone advice me as to how to start my online home business? I don’t where to start and what kind of presentations and proposals to send to companies, and who do I send them to (within the company)? Is there a free online program that can help me build a nice email flier? How do I get the contact persons emails? Is there a free downloadable bulk email program that I could use?
I would like to thank everyone who has replied to my questions; however, I’m not looking for a business to start, I know what I want to do, but I donn’t know how to go about it, please read the ad carefully and advice please… thank you.

I would like to get an opt-in email list that has people who would actually like to recieve my free e-newsletter, thus it would help if the list was relevant to my site, www.designtimehaven.com
I do not want to spam people and I have already purchased one opt-in list, but most of the people on it where not even aware they had opted-in… All suggestions are greatly appreciate, and ideas for list relevant to my products are even beyond greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

I am setting up a distribution business where I buy a range of hair products from a supplier overseas and then store them in a warehouse.
I will employ sales reps to visit hair salons and take orders for my hair products.
I need a computer software that can:
1. Keep track of my own orders with my suppliers, did they arrive etc.
2. Keep track of my warehouse inventory.
3. Keep track of my sales reps details.
4. Keep track of each sales reps orders grouped by hair salon name in his area.
5. Print off invoices to mail out to the salons, and keep track of whether or not they have been paid.

I have no idea what this type of software is called and am having a hard time finding something suitable.
Does anybody have any suggestions of names of software or search terms I can type into Yahoo to get a list of softwares with reviews? When I type inventory management, I can’t seem to find one that tracks the sales reps.

Surely there is something out there already?

Thanks.

I work for a small service company and I am interested in developing our own mailing list data base of current and former customers. We would like to be able to sort on several fields and print mailing labels. We do not intend to use anything like mail-merge.

I have a medium size law firm with a simple mail list on Excel.I would like to make a more detailed list of my clients that could then be broken down all sorts of items like bithdate , religion, children, who they work for, etc. I would like to keep it simple, for instance, fields that are already assigned or ones that can easily be created. Finally, something that could easily produce a quick mail list..Should I stick with excel? Access? Goldmine? Act? Something else???

I am in the process of starting a small business and I am asking for suggestions on how to set up my customer data bank. I am planning on using Quick Books for bookkeeping purposes, if that is relavant info. Any (software) suggestions? I would also like to use this software for newsletters (web oriented = email adresses). I cant imagine that an Excel spread sheet will be a good long-term solution. Tips?

I’m looking tyo make a bit of money in buying in bulk and reselling. Where should I start.
