[georginamiss]

Hi all,

Without being bombarded by lost of sales pitches and offers of sales help please could I have some recommendations on potential marketing companies that sell up-to date cleansed data for specific industries please (at reasonable prices)!

Thank you

We used www.datahq.co.uk last year and found it to be excellent.

You build your own data lists by filtering out everything you don't want, leaving you with just the relevant data to purchase

Hey GeorginaMiss,

I'm no expert in this area and we have never purchased any form of data or lists. We generally develop our own content and use CTA's and Landing pages to collect data legally. When I say "Legally" I mean in the way where the user authorises us to use their information under GDPR.

How will you be using the data and how often are two big things to consider. Are you based in the UK or elsewhere?

I would be really carefully when purchasing reams of data as how do you know it's legal to use it, how do you know where it has been sourced from etc?

Let me know a little more. I know your question is basic and straight forward as to where it can be bought but I would certainly consider a list of things before you buy any form of data.

I don't think she will have to much to worry about as it seems her business is commercial recycling therefore B2B marketing which is much more easily managed.

A company like the one I recommended are registered with the ICO so are authorised to sell data lists for marketing purposes

I use a company in Essex. They are a list reseller (Corp Data I think) but more importantly they offer a cold-calling and email marketing service. This means they are constantly cleaning the lists because they have to use them and also offer a 'list cleaning' service so you get much better quality and more effective marketing.

If you want any details, please just ping me and happy to send the info across. I have a B2B filming company so nothing to do with them. In fact, I think they do a little video these days so I should probably stop recommending them as we may be partially in competition!

 

[Glen Wheeler]

Being completely open and honest buying data even if it's ICO registered or whatever in my opinion is a waste of time and spend. If I was emailed or contacted by someone I hadn't met, spoken to previously or signed up to I'd be putting the phone done/ Buying data shows you're struggling to gain leads in an organic fashion and you're at the point of desperation to gain real sales. What will you be using the data for Georgina?

Glen I feel that's a very negative response and we are absolutely not desperate for leads, we are rather busy infact, it is just an avenue of sales we would like to explore again as it has worked in the past. We do not sell products or services and are a recycling facility.

Thank you for your reply

Yes we're B2B and are a commercial recycling facility yes.

Hey @georginamiss I do apologise if it come across negative, it wasn't meant to be and it was not directed at you personally. I'm just saying personally if someone bought data, and I was on that list and was contacted I wouldn't be happy and i'd just sign off from it. Buy data or leads in my opinion is not the best approach. Getting out there and doing Face to Face is always best.

If you don't sell products or services how do you make money? Share the process with us on that, very interested to know more about it.

Once again, I do apologise if it came across negative.

Hi Georginamiss,

I suggest Adapt.io for all your needs.

Adapt's "Lead Builder" tool helps you to build your own data lists using 25+ filters and you'll get unlimited verified quality email data lists at affordable cost.

Hello @georginamiss - I've used CorpData previously (excellent and very useful for large numbers of leads) and have built my own researched lists (which are good but time consuming). I've also used lean gen providers (eg facebook/google ads) - this can be the most expensive but can have great results (ie you can set out criteria and not have to waste time/money going through qualification).

DISCLAIMER - I provide this as a service, so I'm well qualified to provide input but also recommend you set out your criteria for a lead, do cost analysis and then go for the one that works for you.

Final question for you... what do you recycle? I'll give you a heads up on what I'd suggest to you if you were my client.

Isn't this against the new GDPR regulations? As far as I'm aware you cannot store anyone's data without their consent. This applies to you, but also to the person selling the data.

 

[Giles AM-NOW]

Hey Alex

Briefly, no.

Naturally, GDPR is a huge and complex beast and there is more to it than I could possibly describe, but it's not there to prevent or hinder business. It's provided to prevent abuse of personal information.

If I believe I've a legitimate reason to contact someone/a business then I can. That could be because I feel they would benefit from my product/services or because they have expressed an interest in my product/services.

If managing data (and this is true for all companies) then you should have already been reviewing your GDPR compliance and ensure the data is stored appropriately and have the appropriate mechanism in place to delete that data if asked (if it doesn't conflict with any operational business requirements eg tax). But a sales process should use a bit of common sense too... if you've not heard back from a prospect after a reasonable amount of time then it's unlikely that spamming them will generate any business...

If you've bought a list from someone from a freelancer site, using a scraping tool.... then well, it's unlikely that data is GDPR compliant and you run a risk of being fined.

Just keep in mind that the regulation isn't trying to stop you from doing legitimate business. There are so many caveats to this and further explanation may be required. Consultants are still making a fortune from talking about GDPR, so consider this just a brief overview.

What you're saying doesn't make sense. In fact, you're contradicting yourself. People don't hold or store data for fun. Everyone does it because they think "we" might benefit from their services, as you say. That's not a legitimate reason for you to collect/store/sell someone's data.

The user should be the one deciding if they would like to receive marketing/promotional materials, not you. And if they do, they would optin(consent) for that.

GDPR regulations state that you should:

• inform the user how the data will be used - that's why copy & paste privacy policies don't work anymore.
• If you sell the data without user's consent, you're straight away in breach of the point above
• have consent to store the data in the first place.
• you shouldn't store the data for no reason, and hold it longer than necessary
• and you should provide someone with the option to delete their data should they ask you.

I suggest you should do a bit more research into this.

Hello Alex

I'm sorry if you've read something in my reply that's not there.

I could have been clearer with my response but I that would take time and this is meant as general and short guidance....

Have you read the ico guidance on B2B marketing?

And this section about legitimate interest might be interesting for you to read:
When might legitimate interests be appropriate?
Legitimate interests is the most flexible of the six lawful bases. It is not focused on a particular purpose and therefore gives you more scope to potentially rely on it in many different circumstances.

It may be the most appropriate basis when:

• the processing is not required by law but is of a clear benefit to you or others

With that in mind, I'm not sure where your confusion comes from. The original question was about email data lists, which can be licensed from many providers (not me) or it can be collected by you...

The ico guidance on marketing lists is also interesting and very clear and permits the use of lists. Sadly I can't link to them from here. But the ICO site is my go to reference point.

Anyway, apologies if I confused you with my general guidance. Not meant to lead to a long discussion.

I hope my feedback has helped with the initial query.

Within the limitations of the privacy legislation.

Nothing wrong with you picking up the phone or sending an email to an address published on the website.

It's the buying of a list that people question. Unless you can show each person on the list opted into marketing and has not subsequently opted out you don't have legitimate interest.
