| Q | How can I view a managed list's details (i.e. data card)? |

| Q | Why should I use Negev Direct Marketing rather than going directly to the list owner? |
| A | The list market is similar to the stock market. All brokers have access to the same lists and prices are uniform for every broker. There are no special prices or exclusive lists. Working with Negev Direct allows you to take advantage of our extensive experience in the Jewish market while using one-stop shopping for all of your direct mail needs: writing, design, data processing, printing, letter shop, list management and brokerage all from one reliable source. |
| Q | What is the difference between a list manager and a list broker? |
| A | A list manager works on behalf of the list owner to rent the owner's list. A list broker works on behalf of the mailer to find the best lists for their mailing. |
| Q | Can I buy a list? |
| A | No. Most mailing lists are rented on a one-time use only basis. There are several lists that are available for multiple-use, but they are an exception. Email and telemarketing lists are for rental only. |
| Q | How do you know if I have used a list more than once? |
| A | Every list order from Negev Direct is "seeded" with decoy names that allow us to monitor usage of the list. |
| Q | Can I keep the names and addresses of people who respond to my mailing? |
| A | Yes. People who respond through a donation or a purchase automatically become part of your own mailing list. |
| Q | What is the difference between renting a list and exchanging a list? |
| A | Some lists are available for both rental and exchange. Other lists are for rental or exchange only. When you rent a list, you pay a base price per thousand names for one-time use of that list. When you exchange a list, both organizations agree to exchange an equal number of names for one-time use. Although exchanging is much less expensive than renting, it is not free, and there are small service fees. |
| Q | What is a minimum order and can I combine different lists to reach that minimum? |
| A | The minimum is the smallest amount of names that you can order from any one list. It is usually 5,000 names. In the case of lists with less than 5,000 names, the minimum order is the entire list. Minimums apply to each individual list and cannot be combined. |
| Q | Why do you need a sample of my mail piece? |
| A | List owners rightfully insist on seeing a sample of what you are mailing. Their decision to rent the list to you is based on several factors, including the content and competitiveness of your mail piece. |
| Q | How can I view a managed list's usage history? |
| A | You can view a managed list's usage history by clicking on the specific managed list and then clicking on "View usage history." (Please note, you cannot view the usage history of a non-managed list.) |
