Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I have a start-up and for the first time I am sending out marketing/media kits to about 80 businesses, and I’ve read that it’s lame to address them to “person in charge of purchasing” or “Buyer”. I instead should be finding out who the buyer is and addressing them personally.
The problem is that leaves me calling about 80 businesses to inquire about who their buyer is, and the problem on top of that is that I hear it’s hard to get an actual buyer’s name out of whoever answer the phone. Apparently it’s top secret information, and people like me need it, so a I’m between a rock and hard place… ANY INSIGHT?
I’d greatly appreciate EXPERIENCED input/advice. Oh, and I should mention most of the businesses I’d be dealing with are bookstores, and poker retailers (mostly online poker stores)…. I say this because the businesses I’m looking at are not large corporations with headquarters, if this influences your advice.
Thank you in advance for any and all experienced insight/advice/comments/etc.

Dear Ambassador,
I,Zen Jien, am a legal migrant employee in Italy since year 1995.
I applied for family Visa for my spouse, Heitzu Lin, via Internet nearly 3 years ago. The Questura of Milano also granted a “NullaOsta” for my spouse after confirming the accuracy of the documents I had submitted to them.
Subsequently on 08th February 2010, the “Nulla osta” had been submitted to an affiliate agency of Italian embassy of my country, by my spouse. On 17th June2010, the Passport along with the charges attending had been submitted to the same agency. (Please find the receipt issued by the agency, attached to this letter) although it’s been more than 6 months since the day that the documents were taken over, the Visa has still not been granted. The Embassy neither has informed us of any kind of corrective procedure we should follow.
When inquired about this matter from the agency they had told my wife to inquire it from the Embassy, when she did she’d been told to inquire from the agency.
I hope you will consider this matter at your earliest convenience and take appropriate measures to Grant Visa to my spouse and release her Passport from your hold.
Thank you

Or the journal affiliated with it? I’ve tried searching around, but the most I’ve gotten is references to it in other journals.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find or inquire for more information about the institute or journal? I’ve been trying to get ahold of several journal articles through the DIA, but as an art student who just has odd hobbies, I really don’t expect to hear anything helpful from them for a good while.
