    Several things to keep in mind:

    One, real (opt-in) email lists are very expensive ($300 per thousand and up)

    Two, be careful... there are lots of people out there offering lists that are garbage (no permission, scraped off web sites, out-of-date, etc).

    Three, the best way to get a list is to build your own with posts on forums, writing articles, etc.

    There's more on my blog (no links allowed here, but you can check my profile).

    Hello,

    There are some good files for this audience on the market, but they are expensive.

    The files tend to be smaller than postal files so your geography would have to be fairly large to meet the 5000 name min order requirements.

    If you do not have a strong brand image within your target audience, I would not recommend 3rd party email.

    As with (ALL) email marketing, anyone willing to send the email addresses directly to you is SPAM. You need a highly focused list to make it work.

    Please contact me and I will be more than happy to discuss options with you.

    Thank you
    tom
