Hi Tom
I would suggest not signing up with any "system". Why limit yourself to something like data.com as one shoe does not fit all with marketing data. As a broker, we are aware of many different list sources which might be able to help you - all with different costs, licenses, quality...
This is one of those questions which is impossible to answer. No marketing channel is better than any other - full stop, period. It depends on YOUR target market and how THEY want to be communicated with. If they respond and convert better through DM for you, then that should be an important...
Wow - there are some really alarming answers to this question amongst some really good advice. It must be tricky to filter the noise. I cannot go through this without referencing what Adwords guru said:
"Nothing wrong in principle with scraping emails from the Web. If it's online someone has...
Hi Ben
No one can answer this as no one has your brand and sales message. So all you can do is test like you are doing and evaluate on your cost per lead
Banners/ Partner Marketing - Yes, test to check results.
Telemarketing - Test and gauge response. I think its fair to say that Solicitors...
Apologies for bumping this thread.
Market Location are not a list broker. They are a list owner and as such represent their own product offering.
Lee above is an example of a broker. We are also independent data brokers ( www.data-broker.co.uk )
Be happy to help if you need any advice or...
Michael - the best response on this post.
With lists, you need to know the market and the pro's and con's of each supplier. Only direct marketing professionals will know this.
Email Marketing - With it working or not working for one company is of no relevance to your company, target market and...
The most common question that I see on these forums around data lists is "which is best list".
Its also possibly the most pointless question to ask for the following reasons:
1 ) One shoe does not fit all. What list worked for one company will/may not work for yours. A full brief and campaign...
Hi Thomas
This type of list is available from reputable companies which are DMA members and regulated. Some of the companies mentioned in previous posts are not.
Always worth doing of lot of research on data companies before purchasing. We would be delighted to help with that research to...
Hi Ruth
There are some good suggestions above and I see you've got ideas of your ideal targets. Could I suggest that some good quality data lists might also be worth considering?
We are Databroker and we offer advice and broker deals for our customers on B2B and B2C data lists. Unlike list...
Dave
Good on you for looking at taking on a tough industry - I agree with webgeek that the industry is very competitive. As a data and list broker, as you can imagine, we work alongside a lot of partner companies in this field. It goes without saying that outbound marketing can't function...
Also its not just about price, eg not all telephone numbers are equal.
Its what is behind a telephone number. If you sell IT hardware support to Oracle users as an example and someone is selling you a telephone number of a company with Oracle installed for 50p a record then that is more cost...
Its very easy to use internet resources - of course, but if you did that on a large enough scale and got enough 50 complaints from CTPS numbers ( which of course are all over the internet ) then you would be fined.
A company posts their telephone number on a directory or their website to get...
Never buy from Ebay. You may as well buy a rolex from a man in a pub who has 30 of them inside his jacket.
Some good companies mentioned on this thread, some really indifferent ones as well. We have benchmarked them all against each other so know whos good, bad, really bad etc.
I also see no...
interesting thread. Whats suprising here is to see people declare interest with no detail on the legality, ethical sourcing?, intellectual property, quality assurance, costs, value for money compared to alternatives etc etc.
This forum is littered with complaints about data and getting it...
Hi - sorry to hear of your trouble.
This information I posted previously may help you..
Have never used MarketIT Direct as they are not DMA members according to my knowledge. They are the same company as Clearbluegroup.net, ABClists.net, blue-pages.org and CharityBase.net and...
