We are seeking to wholesale printed tshirts and related gift items
(caps, mugs, keychains, etc.) with two designs: "Jesus Said, Go
Fishing" and "Jesus Said, Take the Boat Out". Both have comical
language following and the Scripture cite. We have sold them in our
own resort stores for 6 years. The purchaser has primarily been
someone buying it as a gift for someone else. It is not limited to a
Sporting goods or boating retail setting.
I am looking for mailing lists with phone numbers of buyers for retail
stores that would be most likely to buy this type of item. I expect
that Christian bookstores, general gift stores, sporting goods stores
with fishing emphasis, large specialized gift chains, and large
sporting goods chains are all prospects.
I will pay $100 to $200 for such lists with final price based on size
and focus of lists provided. |

Hello Headmonk,
I located a commercial service that will provide you with the
information you need. They provide business sales leads and mailing
lists from over 14 million verified U.S. businesses. This is a large
company with 37 offices in the U.S., Canada and London.
You may use the search tool at their website to define your
requirements. To generate your customized Prospect List, define only
the types of companies and contact names that you want to include by
making selections from the categories above. You may also click on the
category titles below.
Here is how it works:
Enter the SIC Code or keyword.
In order to refine your search you may select geographic area:
- States
- Counties
- Cities
- ZIP Codes
- Metro Areas
- Telephone Area Codes
- Entire U.S
You may narrow down your search further by:
- Number of employees
- Annual sales volume
- Credit rating scores
You may also choose the contact names you want to include.
Your list will come in a format that works with Excel, Act, Word,
Goldmine & more
I did a sample search with the following selection criteria:
SIC Code: 594712 (gift shops)
State: FLORIDA
RECORDS WITH CONTACT NAME
I didn’t choose number of employees, sales volume or credit ratings.
My selection resulted in a count of 2,707 leads for $798.57
Is this the kind of information you’re looking for?
Thanks,
Bobbie7-ga

Headmonk,
I failed to mention that there is another similar provider of targeted
lists of business sales leads. They give you 25 free leads when you
create your targeted list.
I also found a contact list of 3,000 U.S. Christian Bookstores that
you may purchase for $169
In addition I located a sporting goods directory of more than 11,000
U.S. retail stores and chains, arranged by state. This Directory
includes a 1680 Page Book + PC Edition + 1 year Access to On-line
Directory. Price - $247.00
Please let me know how to proceed.
Thanks,
Bobbie7

Bobbi - I would prefer contact information that would be more specific
as to buyers names, phone numbers, etc. The trade association
direction is narrower and probably would result in better leads. I
suspect that the mailing list directories would be too broad. We are
not experienced with this type of marketing so are just waiting to see
what comes from our inquiry.

If this is not what you had in mind, would you want a researcher to

that list?
Thanks,
