Addresses

Postby biblemanryan » March 10th, 2008, 4:42 am

Does anyone know how I can get all the address on one street? Without having to walk down the street and write them down. We are wanting to mail out some stuff over the next year in the general area of the church.

Thanks and God bless,
Bro. Ryan

Services

There are services that sell mail lists by zip code, and they are fairly up-to-date, including even the names of the family at that address.

http://infousa.com
http://www.usadata.com
http://www.tlclists.com

There's probably a local company in your area that has those lists, and they usually rent them out by providing one-time-use preprinted mailing labels for the area purchased.

(OR... bribe the paperboy.) :lol:

Or...If your city has a page with property assessments, you can look on that site to find the addresses and then go here: http://www.whitepages.com/10583/reverse-lookup and do a reverse address look up and it will give you the name and phone number, if available.
It's free, you just need the beginning number on the street you're interested in and time on the computer typing.

Generally the Library also has a directory of streets with addresses. I have used it years ago when doing a mailing list for the local cogop I pastored in Dallas.

Thanks for all the help. In the past we have done the door to door thing. But I have come to two conclusions. There is almost never a good time to knock on someone's door unless they know you. And it is considerably cheaper, if you count how much your time is worth, to just mail out invitations, notices, etc.

God bless,
Bro. Ryan

If you have a realator friend they can get you the name of the family and the address...Works great for mass mailing.

I have bought local mailing lists from the county power association in the past. The list generally includes every power association member by town. Keep in mind that this was prior to the privacy act. It is possible that businesses will no longer sell or share this information.
