Can you recommend a good supplier?

[Dan Arnold]

Hi there,

I am looking for a few suppliers and I am hoping for a few recommendations to help us choose the right services.

We are a London based Video production company.

First I am looking for a freelance/sole trader good quality website designer to build us a new website

Second I am looking for a good data list supplier. One who has up to date contacts and allows us to filter results to suit.

Also I am looking to join a London based business networking group. Any suggestions?

Please do not call the company! Please just reply to this thread with your recommendations so I can look into it and contact if necessary. Many thanks for your help.

Data wise I use these guys - http://deadlinedata.co.uk/

Recent email campaign had very very low bounce rate meaning the data was very up to date. I've been able to target just Estate Agents in Brighton and Glasgow for example of how data may be able to be segmented for you.

Web Designer wise, I talk to this guy a lot -http://www.smarterwebdesign.co.uk/ and have seen a lot of his sites. All are very nice looking and good from an SEO point of view.

Can't help with Networking though.

I would be interested in hearing more information about the website project.

For Networking, I recommend 4Networking, based nationally with plenty of groups within London and on the outskirts. The website is here. you can visit 3 times without being a member so you can see if you like the format.

Yep, 4N is good on the networking front

 

[Dan Arnold]

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Faevilangel you are welcome to private message me and I can give you more information on the website project. We quite like the idea of working with a freelancer as we work with a lot of freelancers in our industry and we have office space where he/she can work if required.

The 4Networking group looks to be the best yet and I will look into the data supplier site so thank you again for the help.

Dan.

Hi Dan

Our data can be segmented to your requirements, so if its a case of targeting SMEs for example, we could filter on location, turnover, employee size and industry type.

We only qualify the key decision makers in a group so rest assured we have the accurate data to 'hit' the right person within the business via email, telesales or direct mail.

If I can help, drop me a pm or email.


Thanks

G.

Hi Dan,

Market Location is a data owner and pioneers data collection in the UK. The database is central to our business and all our products and services revolve around it. Our data hosting offering revolves around quality matching to the most accurate business data in the UK, reporting on this process, and making accurate data available for campaigns. This accuracy means the message reaches the correct individual and there is minimal wastage.

There are only two other businesses in the UK that maintain a UK business universe, these being Yell and Thomson which primarily collect for their own directory businesses. All the rest of the B2B data suppliers in the industry are essentially resellers of these databases or own a smaller sub set of data.

Market Location supplies data to 99% of the voice directory marketplace and around 50% of the online directory enquiries marketplace including BT, 118118, Microsoft Bing, Touch Local and upmystreet.com.

Data accuracy is critical for the voice directory marketplace. There are over 300 million calls placed per year with over 80% requesting business information at a cost of over 80p per call. Each piece of information that is wrong represents 100% failure rate! The user will probably never use that service again. Market Location’s data is now regarded as the backbone of their businesses and core to their business strategy. Therefore ML are contracted to fulfil partner agreements to provide their data backbone.

Using our in-house 60 seat contact centre based in Sutton Coldfield where in the region of 10,000 connections per day, ML has now moved way ahead of the competition by moving to a 12-month refresh on its database. This ensures the highest rate of accuracy and optimisation for our clients marketing campaigns and is at least twice as fast as “the best of the rest”.

By way of a direct comparison Thomson refresh a subset of their marketing data universe every 24 months and Yell 36 months.

There are many other reasons for Market Location being recognised as market leaders and I would be very interested in meeting to discuss this further with you and to give you more of an understanding of our capabilities in data, insight and innovation.
