If you are planning to market a new design of fashion clothing to fashion shops there are some 8,600 across the UK.

Unless you get lucky in meeting with one or more of the main high street names, probably the best way to get your new design into the high street is by sourcing a mailing list of fashion shops. This enables you to send photographic images of your designs and possibly some small material sample as well.

In sourcing data lists of fashion shops, your first port of call should be Responsiva (www.responsiva.biz / 0800 118 5000). The reason is that Responsiva would not try to sell you all 8,600 retail outlets. This is bacause many are managed by a branch manager with no autonomy to purchase and stock your designs, so your marketing to them would be wasted. Instead, Responsiva recommend that your mailing list should only include the fashion shops with a named proprietor, partner, director or chief executive. Thus you are reaching a key decision-maker who can actually make the decision to stock your item(s), and who may also have control over multiple outlets.

In total there are around 3,200 such fashion shops in the UK, ensuring a smaller, better targeted business data list for your marketing.

This is the typical approach of Responsiva; i.e., to ensure you get the right data lists which are not only fit for purpose but also yield the best results for your budget. Responsiva don’t profess to be an expert in fashion and design, but the understanding of marketing data lists and how best to use them is precisely what Responsiva do best.

There are around 6,500 travel agents within the UK and these can be purchased as a prospect data list from Responsiva Data (0800 118 5000, www.responsiva.biz).

Travel agents are (similar to, say, estate agents and public houses) one of the industry classifications where the national chains are often not desired for marketing purposes. A key decision-maker is needed, not a branch manager.

To most, identifying the independents is not an obvious solution - esepcially if there’s no presence of a head office indicator within the data. But the clue is above; the job title of the most senior contact name is usually a give-away. With pubs, the independents are those with a landlord, landlady, proprietor and (less frequently) a named director or partner. Likewise the managers and licensees comprise the pot of undesired business data.

And with travel agents the key to sourcing the best data lists is also with an application of sifting out the directorship and proprietry job titles.

Approximately2,500 travel agents can be identified in this way and this amounts to just 40% of the data lists available. By homing in on just this file (i.e., 2,500 records) your marketing budget immediately avoids the wasted spend and resource in contacting the branches.
