Mailing List Rentals

Order Information

  • MLA mailing lists let you sell directly to key buyers in the health information profession.
  • Our lists are accurate and up-to-date. We offer a money-back guarantee that your mailing will arrive at its intended destination.
  • We also offer a keycode service to track the success of our lists.
  • Complement your direct marketing efforts with sponsorships and print advertising!

Important List Rental Information

  • MLA lists do not include email addresses or telephone numbers. If you wish to reach our members by email, please consider becoming an MLA-FOCUS sponsor.
  • A copy of your mailing piece (or mock-up with text) is required with your order.
  • We only ship orders after reviewing your mailing piece and obtaining a signed copy of the license agreement (PDF, 20KB).
  • MLA reserves the right to refuse any list-rental order if the list use is considered inappropriate for the interests of MLA's members.
  • List brokers: The license agreement must be signed by the client receiving the list, if the list is to be shipped to the client. If the broker is receiving the list or handling the client's mailing, the broker must complete the license agreement. List brokers receive a 15% discount on stated price of lists.

Counts and Pricing

MLA's list-rental prices are fixed cost, based on the list you choose. List types, approximate counts, and prices appear below. Because counts are approximate (they vary according to the number of members and subscribers at any given time), we encourage you to contact us for more accurate counts prior to your print run. This will ensure that you do not print too many (or too few) pieces for your mailing.
