Direct mailing, directly to your audienceMailing Lists

Mailing lists available from the ASA include Association members, nonmember journal subscribers, and departments of sociology. The lists are continuously revised, assuring the highest degree of deliverability to a highly specialized audience.

Direct Mail Services

ASA mailing lists are obtained for one-time rental only. Mailing lists are updated continuously; thus, counts will vary slightly. Lists include current members and unrenewed members from the prior membership year. Lists are provided in an electronic file or on gummed labels. Totals listed below were pulled from the ASA database on February 10, 2011.

Requirements

  1. The mailing piece must be of professional interest to a broad segment of ASA members as sociologists.
  2. Each mailing must be submitted as a separate order (and is subject to minimum order pricing).
  3. A sample mailing piece must accompany each order; if final copy is not available, a reasonable facsimile is acceptable. ASA reserves the right to refuse orders for any of its lists.
  4. Faxed orders will be accepted pending receipt of a sample mailing piece. E-mail orders are accepted. For e-mail orders, sample mailing piece must be included as an attachment to the e-mail.
  5. Mailing lists are provided for one-time use only and may not be reproduced for subsequent use.
  6. All sales are final.

Rates

  1. Mailing lists are $250 per thousand for electronic file, $270 per thousand for gummed labels. Minimum order is $250.
  2. No reduced rates will apply if fewer than the total number of names ordered are used.
  3. Computer counts are run with each order; charges for member/subscriber lists are based on these counts. Selection fees are charged for all orders other than the total list (e.g., state select, random selection, etc.) $50 for each selection on the order.
  4. Key coding (up to six digits) is available for gummed label orders at no extra charge.
  5. ASA offers a 15% discount to recognized list brokers on member and subscriber lists only. Section and Area Interest lists are not eligible for a brokers’ discount.
  6. Note: ASA is not able to provide counts prior to running a mailing list order.

Delivery
Two weeks (10 working days) are required to process orders. Electronic files are provided via e-mail. Labels are shipped first class, priority mail. Rental rates include postage. While ASA typically processes list requests in less than 10 working days, any request that requires turnaround in less than 10 working days is subject to a $50 fee for rush processing.
