Firstly, privacy laws are not applicable to non-personalised business data. It is the ‘identifier’ such as a person’s name which is covered by Privacy and SPAM Acts.
It is, however, in your best interest to pacify any person who contacts you to complain!
Simply take their details – as it appeared on the marketing piece they received from you, and mark it in your database so you know not to contact them again.
If you delete the record from your database, when you receive updates or perhaps obtain their details through another channel, you may accidentally contact them again without knowing.
It is therefore important that you ‘suppress’ or flag / mark the details in a field in your database rather then delete them.
Business-to-Business non-personalised data is sourced from a variety of publicly available information, namely directories. We access well over 1m businesses in Australia who have listed their companies in various directories. Whilst the data is maintained and updated every six months, there are some businesses that move, close down or change company name while maintaining contact details and some information will not be updated until the new version of the directory is released. Compilation to release date of the data can be up to two years on rare occasions.

Once your payment has been processed, you will be prompted to download an Excel file that contains your data.

The concept of Mailing Lists Online was created by an entrepreneur. An established small business owner who understands the direct marketing and list industry and is disgruntled by the enormous profits list brokers and owners make from selling their data.
We believe in small business, and helping small businesses grow. We have created a new, profitable business model for selling data where we share the success with our clients. The data is sourced from the best non-personalised privacy compliant business to business database in Australia.
Simply go through the process of selecting your data, view our How to use this website guide for more information. You can then see how many leads your specific selection has resulted in – remember there is no need to purchase, you can use the website as a research tool.
- Mailing Lists Online has established its business model based on the online sale of business data (B2B).
Please visit our How to use this Website guide for instructions on how to use this website.
The data you download will be in Microsoft Excel format that enables you to easily import into your own database, integrate into a mail merge, or simply use as a leads spreadsheet in its current format.
This data is sourced from a variety of publicly available information and is correct at the time of compilation. Businesses continue to move, merge or close down each year so there will be a certain amount of dead letters or disconnected phone numbers. The cost to telemarket and continually verify these records on an ongoing basis is too great, so instead, we fully update and overhaul the database every six months, which enables us to also offer you the database at an affordable price. As such, we do not replace any bad records, rather provide you with the entire file so you can continue to find more prospects. Depending on your industry sometimes as little at 3% or as great as 20% will be returned as undeliverable due to problems unrelated to the data collection process.
Our business model is completely online where we have an extensive FAQ list that will answer most of your questions. Should you still not find the answer, then please use our support form.
The direct marketing industry has traditionally sold databases on a per 1,000 basis, plus set up and delivery fees on top of the base price.
Mailing Lists Online is making data available without a setup fee and at a fraction of the cost of our competitors in the marketplace.
The minimum order is $29.95 even if you have only selected 100 records.
You must ask for the company name, address, phone and / or fax number, AS IT APPEARED on the marketing piece they received from you. This is important because there may be spelling or other errors which has meant that they received the letter from yourself when they had previously asked to be removed.
Of course! We recommend the easiest way is to using the “mail merge” function in your word processor.
List data that is provided may contain a Seed Name. It allows us to track your campaigns and usage of the data and use as evidence in court should a usage dispute arise. We record the campaign pieces we receive on your file, so we know if another company has used it illegally, in violation of your terms and conditions.
