Where to buy...You can usually buy these from the same person who is contracting the vendor booths to begin with. Usually on websites they have links to these contacts.

Just a heads up on purchasing mailing lists, (& this according to CC under Internet/Web: Additional Guidelines)

You may not purchase lists for e-mail marketing purposes. Spamming is not allowed.

So with that said, if they are EMAIL Mailing Lists we aren't allowed to do so. HOWEVER, the only way you can get around this is, is if you were to contact these ppl via the old fashioned SNAIL-MAIL method. Of course, if they provided a phone number I'd go that route FIRST. B/C IMO, if you soley rely on the snail-mailing method of contact with flyers & such, you'll very likely be wasting a LOT of money, not to mention TIME. I mean how many times do you just toss junk mail in your mailbox @ home? And I, for one, HATE to see all my good time & money get tossed in the trash. At least when you've talked to them over the phone first, they'll be on the look out for your info, KWIM?? And of course, you can always follow up with another call!!

Just trying to help you all work smarter & not harder!! LOL :)

Hi there! I completely understand your concern about the cost of being a consultant. However, I have found that with a little strategic planning and teamwork, the investment can definitely be worth it. As you mentioned, splitting the costs with your team and sharing the workload can help to make it more manageable and profitable. Plus, with the support and resources provided by the company, I have seen many consultants have great success in building their business and earning back their initial investment. Don't let the cost deter you from pursuing this opportunity – with hard work and dedication, the rewards can be well worth it. Best of luck on your journey!
