Prospect Data Counts & Cross-tabs
When searching for prospect marketing lists one of the first things you will require are some data counts of the businesses within your target specification.
Typical company data counts are by industry, size and geography. For example: the number of builders and plumbers within WV (Wolverhampton) and WS (Walsall).
A simple data list count will be presented thus:
- Builders: 204
- Plumbers: 150
Simple database list cross-tabulations compare, say, the industry with the area as follows:
| Industry | WS | WV | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builders | 117 | 87 | 204 |
| Plumbers | 70 | 80 | 150 |
| Total: | 187 | 167 | 354 |
At Responsiva, data counts and simple cross-tabulations are provided free of charge and typically within one hour of your enquiry. This enables an holistic view of the b2b prospect data within your core market.
Why do you need an Account Manager?
All Responsiva's business data lists are fulfilled by a dedicated Account Manager.
This is to ensure the business lists you purchase are what you need.
There are many pitfalls with mailing data lists and the best way to avoid these is with the support of your dedicated Account Manager. Responsiva will never knowingly sell you prospect data lists which are not fit for purpose.
An example of the pitfalls with database lists follows:
Your target market is companies with 5 – 20 employees, with five as an absolute minimum. "5 employees" is an anomaly within the business universe and (being a fluid variable) can also include sole traders with two or three temporary staff. Your Account Manager will clarify this fact with you prior to purchase.
Email Data
Business email data is available with your prospect list. Business emails are quoted separately from standard prospect data and when sourcing emails with your marketing lists you should consider:
- Do you require one email per company, or all emails from each business?
- Would you like to include generic emails (e.g. "info@") or named email addresses?
In purchasing an email data list you should question the data quality. Specifically, how many "hard bounces" do the list brokers guarantee?
Soft bounces occur when a prospect’s server rejects an email from its spam filters. No list broker can accurately forecast the percentage of soft bounces.
Hard bounces occur from out-dated (dead) emails and can be guaranteed. Responsiva guarantees less than 10% of hard bounces.
Geographical Requirements
All b2b data requires a geographical specification, even if this is the full UK.
When ordering marketing data lists the geographical aspect should be the first point of consideration. B2b mailing lists may be segmented geographically by:
- Town
- County
- Postcode AREA (e.g. "M", "WA", "SK")
- Postcode DISTRICT (e.g. "M1", "M3 - 5", "M8 & 9")
- Postcode SECTOR (e.g. "M12 5", "M12 7 - M12 9")
The value of targeting marketing data to a tight catchment area is the reduction of travelling time (and petrol costs) for your sales team.
There are 124 postcode areas in the UK, and a mailing list may be segmented by territories (e.g. "North West", "Scotland", "London" etc).
Counts of available mailing lists may be supported with maps.
