You can find demographically targeted addresses through email list brokers, in the U.S. Where the Can-Spam act forbids one to contact a person you don’t have a prior relationship with, you get owner of existing opted-in email lists to mail on your behalf, in some cases these are periodical ezines that can insert an advertisement or do a special “solo mailing” for you.

One big director of lists (look under Media Planning / Find a mailing list) is NextMark.com, they do seem to have some U.K. Lists, although more expensive than phone directory sort of lists, you can find people with previous buying histories in your field.

Realize that with any business, that you are looking at investment capital.

So in order to get the better quality advertising you are going to pay a little.

There are other ways to promote your product for fee. You can start by getting
a blog and doing a product review for your specific product.

You can also do live product reviews, and while you are doing them, you can
tape them and put them on you tube. You can also find a blog on a website
called “technorati”, that has a following of people, and have the writer of that
blog endorse your product. It will probably be about 25 dollars per post.

So there are many ways, it is just a matter of finding them. Also look for someone
that you can joint venture with, that might sell mouthguards, pads of some sort.
Something along those lines.

Also, a friend of mine recommended a website to me, and having just looked over it briefly
it looked decent. I put it in the source link below.

Take care and good luck.

Ps remember that you do have time on your side in your favor.
