Q What does a seeded list mean?
A Every publisher/list owner wants to make sure that if you rent their list for a one-time rental you don't re-use it without paying for the additional use. The publisher/list owner inserts names into your list that are actually names and addresses (or email addresses) of people that work for the publisher/list owner.

Q. How do you filter your list?
A Every list on our Web site is sourced from the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical devices and healthcare trade publications we show in our Publications Page. We also offer our clients lists from the major trade associations serving the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical professions.

The data source for these subscriber lists, both mail and email, is the subscription card that you'll see inside any of these publications. The applicant answers questions about their job function, industry etc. If the applicant "Qualifies" they will begin receiving a free subscription. Thus the "Filter" is the subscription card. This data is the foundation for the list.

A major advantage of subscriber lists is the fact that they are updated every month, e.g. for a monthly publication.

Q  I want to buy a list of just one state, it that possible?
A Yes. Geographic Selects are based upon subscribers 3 digit Zip Code and the State where the publication is delivered.

Q Why are the rental prices shown on each DataPage different?
A The rental costs are different for each list. These base rates/prices are dictated by the publisher and like everything else, are based upon demand for the list. Prices shown on our site are always the Publisher's Posted Rate.

Q Are titles as well as geographical area selections possible?
A The information we show on each DataPage, such as Job Function, are sourced from the Subscription Card. If the Card asked for Title and the applicant fills it out, then we'll have names with a Title associated with it. For example, in the mail list for American Biotechnology Laboratory Mail, we have 12,730 people that have checked off Research Scientist on the Subscription Card-Job Function.

Q Can I look for list possibilities by job function or industry?
A Yes, in addition to looking through our list of publications, here's another way to locate the right list on our site. This new section is currently under construction and it is linked here.
