Fax
Blasting Frequently Asked Questions
How much does
is cost? ALL fax companies charge
by volume purchased. See the home page
for pricing.
Are your
lists included in the price? We
have 3 pricing charts. TWO of them
reflect using our lists. The 3rd is
for those who have their own list.
What kind of lists do you
have? We have 2 kinds of
databases:
Targeted
Businesses:
This list is broken down by City, State,
Zip, Area Code, & Business
Type (SIC CODE - Standard Industrial Code).
Examples:
Doctors in Area Code 212, Restaurants nationwide, Insurance Agents in Texas, Dentists in Ohio, etc.
NOTE:
If you want to know what "SIC Code" your target market is, go
to: www.siccodes.com
You can find out what SIC Code you are looking for.
General Businesses:
This list can NOT be broken down by
industry. Only by AREA CODE
or State. These are great for those
with product and services that most any
business or person can use. (good for
contractors, insurance products, financial
services, etc..)
Where do you get your lists?
We have been purchasing lists from various brokers for years.
Most business-to-business numbers originate with companies like InfoUSA,
who compile databases of all sorts for the purpose of selling them to marketers. Some
of our list sources are proprietary.
Why don't
most fax companies post their prices,
forcing me to "contact them for a quote"?
We can not answer for other providers.
We post OUR prices because they are
very competitive, and we don't need
to waste your time getting this simple
answer. Actually, our rates are well
under most providers, because our prices
include list rental, toll free "remove"
lines, and we do all the work of list
acquisition, list formatting, list deduping,
and uploading.
Do you do
flyer design? Yes. We can
create a flyer for you for just $35.
For jobs of 2000 or more, this service is
free. Allow 48 hours for this to be
completed.
What are the best days to
send faxes?
Generally, Tuesday-Thursday, AM.
We can send whenever you wish however.
How long has AdmaxMarketing.com
been in business?
We have been sending fax ads for clients since
1998.
What is the average response
rate?
Response rates vary greatly. Well
written ads can generate 5-10 calls for every
1,000 faxes sent. Sometimes less, sometimes more.
Do you guarantee a response?
We do not guarantee response. We guarantee delivery only.
Advertising response rates vary greatly due to many factors, and AdMaxMarketing.com can not; therefore, does not guarantee sales or response.
If you find one that does,
please let us know!!
Do I get a confirmation
report?
Yes. An Excel file is generated with
details of the run.
Can I buy the fax numbers
and fax myself?
Yes. see here
How do I know the faxes
went out? When the phone starts ringing of course.
Otherwise, the
confirmation report will detail each number for you.
Do I have to fill out an
Order Form for every job? Yes. Each time you wish
to send a fax out, a new Order Form must be received.
What
format can I submit my documents in?
Formats that work are: .doc
(Word), .pdf (Photoshop/Acrobat),
.pub (Publisher), .jpg (image format), .gif
(image format), .tif (image format).
No Macintosh files.
Can I do a "Mail Merge"
to insert the recipient's name with each fax?
For the
"targeted list" yes, but this costs 1¢ extra
per page.
How long does
it take to get my job processed?
For the "general" lists, we can send
orders the same same day if you catch us
early enough and your flyer is ready.
For "targeted lists", allow 24 hours
from the time we receive your order form.
What if all
the faxes don't deliver, do I pay for those? You only
pay for 100% completed fax pages.
Example: if you pay for 2000, then we keep
sending until 2000 deliver.
How often do
you update your lists? This is an
"inaccurate" question. Some of our
records are years old. Some are
compiled at time of order. There is no
way to "update" them unless we actually fax
to them. We don't just fax to millions
of numbers to "update" them. The real
question is "what is the delivery rate?" Our
lists normally connect 75%+.
This is why we send extra faxes to make sure
your job is completed in full, per our
quote.
Please call or email us with
any questions or comments.
