Andy WearBlue Base Group

Hi Andy, Thank you for contacting me! I am in the process of starting up my own company and I'm deeply interested in evaluating you as a source for business leads and other matters. As you know, the wholesale boutique wood products market is an emerging B2B channel in the area of corporate gifts and collectibles. I am the proprietor and president of a unique company in the BWP market that seeks to distribute handmade solid wood personal hygiene tools. This company, Woodpick Plus, LLC, will be launching its first line of items in June. That same month, we will have a booth at the Wooden Life Giftables conference in Atlanta. Four thousand square feet of manufacturing space has been leased (plus an administrative annex) and already we are producing sales samples in preparation for launch. This is where you come in. How can Blue Base Interactive help us reach our target audience? With warmest regards, Davidicus Flick Woodpick Plus, LLC

Hi David, Thanks for your interest. I am forwarding this to our custom list department. James will contact you regarding this.
Best regards, Andy WearBlue Base Group

Hi David, Please provide me with job titles you target and I will generate a count and cost with samples for you to have a look at. Kind regards. James InfySource Limited

Hi James, I'm looking for decision makers in the area of corporate gifts and account development. Obviously, this covers a broad range of industries. So for starters I'd like to focus on those companies that focus on integrated business strategies and promote organizational growth through maximizing customer and employee performance. Specifically, I believe finance and banking should be our first lateral channel. Woodpick Plus, LLC is looking to partner with these top-performance corporations and develop strategic solutions in relationship development, specifically in the area of personalized oral hygienics. This is a fast-growing area of corporate gifting. In addition to list rental and sales, do you offer any additional services to aid us in our product launch? With warmest regards, Davidicus C. Flick Woodpick Plus, LLC

Hi David, We can provide 300,000 contacts for your specific criteria. You can buy this list for $9,900. This is a highly unique customized list and will take 2-3 working days to compile and verify. I have attached a sample list with complete data for you to have a look at. All contacts come with emails, phone and physical address. We also offer a 120 day replacement guarantee on any bad/incorrect contacts that you find.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to make a purchase. Thanks, James InfySource Limited

Hi James, Is there any way we can filter this list down to only those interested in personalized oral hygienics? For example, do you have data for those who have purchased personalized oral hygienics in the past, either for personal use or as corporate gifts? If not specifically oral hygienics, then maybe those more generally interested in exotic woods, like teakwood, bubinga, or swamp ash? I know it would cost extra for this additional filtering of the list, but it would also help me further qualify my leads. Also, do you offer any additional services to aid us in our product launch? Mailing/email/printing/etc? With deepest thanks, Davidicus C. Flick Woodpick Plus, LLC

Hi David, We are unable to refine the list further to your specific criteria. My data team have tried several times and have informed me that they are unable to refine the lists.
We are now offering an emailing platform and below is the link to give you more information and pricing: http://infymailing.com/ Your IPs and domains would be fully protected. The entire onus is on us. Please take a look at our Infymailing service and I can set you up a demo account where you can send up to 200 emails to try it out.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and if you would like to proceed.
James

Hi James, Yes, I knew it was a long shot that you'd be able to refine your lists in such a way, but I had to ask. Thank you so much for your effort. I am still genuinely interested in proceeding. I created an account on infymailing.com as you suggested. In addition, I've been doing some additional research on my end to figure out more practical ways to further qualify the list. I contacted the CCATM (Combined & Consolidated Association of Toothpick Manufacturers) and they shared some fantastic data with me. It turns out that men account for a whopping 87 percent of toothpick consumption. (Women consume only 8 percent.) In addition, toothpick usage peaks at the age of 36 - 55 yrs. (See attached.) For this reason, I believe the most qualified leads will be men between the ages of 36 - 55. Is it possible to trim your list in this way? Though not as useful in refining the email list, I also discovered that--after dental hygiene--the second most popular use for toothpicks is cake doneness testing, followed by applying glue to things, and then stick crafts. (I was surprised to learn that hors d'hoeuvres only account for 4 percent of consumption.) Mind you, you'd be crazy to use the toothpicks we produce for household tasks. The craftsmanship of the toothpicks we produce make them more for display and show rather than standard use. Who in their right mind would use a handcrafted, personalized bubinga toothpick to pick their teeth, am I right? Thanks! Davidicus Woodpick Plus, LLC



Hi David, We are unable to refine the list to age range, however I have spoken to my senior sales manager and I have approval to further discount the list 25% to compensate for this. 300,000 contacts will now cost only $7,500. Please let me know if you have any further questions and if you would like to proceed. Kind regards. James InfySource Limited

Hi James, And thank you for the rate discount. I appreciate it. I may have already asked this, but is the infymailing.com system CAN-SPAM compliant? Is there an opt-out function? And what metrics are provided to me? At the very least I'd need to measure open mail percentages and click rates. In addition, is there an email plug-in that could measure customer interest, based on either facial expression or change in heart rate? I know that sounds far-fetched, but I read something about such a technology. I think it was Popular Mechanics. But it may have been Jet. There are also technologies that provide retinal tracking, but I suspect you won't have that for another few months, so I'll forego it for now. For all your hard work, would you be interested in receiving one of our toothpicks? They're really quite exquisite. Warmest regards, Davidicus

Hi David, Yes the Infymailing system is CAN-SPAM compliant and has an opt-out function. Once you have signed up to a demo account you will be able to measure open mail percentages and click rates. Please let me know if you have any further questions and if you would like to proceed. Kind regards James InfySource Limited

James,
You've been very helpful. Thank you. I will be sure to put a toothpick in the mail to you. (We've just finished producing about a dozen polished and oil-treated teakwood ones.)
While your list pricing is excellent, I've decided to work with another company that is able to supply me with a more refined list. They were able to break out the list by sex, age, and exotic wood preferences. In addition, they have assured me that their list includes everyone who attended WoodCon in both 2009 and 2010. And they've offered to including the list from WoodCon 2011 in Salt Lake City in August at no extra charge. This will work perfectly with out site marketing as we'll have a booth at the show.
All that said, I will keep your contact info in my files. We're looking to expand beyond toothpicks and explore the market for wooden skewers and custom shims.
With warmest regards, Davidicus
