Company Size
There are two ways to segment prospect data lists by company size; by turnover or employee size.
The key issues with selecting b2b data lists by company turnover are (a) the age of the information and (b) many companies are not required to file accounts. Therefore Responsiva recommends the use of employee size when sourcing business data lists. Facts & figures to consider when purchasing b2b prospect data from a list broker:
- 53% of business lists have less than 5 employees.
- 31.5% of prospect lists have 5 - 20 employees.
- 15.5% of data lists have more than 20 employees.
Depending on the Market Sector (e.g. Finance, Manufacturing etc) Responsiva can apply a "turnover per employee" ratio to your chosen business list.
Business Premise Type
There are fourteen premise types with Responsiva's business data lists. In choosing the right marketing data for your campaigns, the premise type can have immense value.
The distinct premise types available with marketing lists are:
| 1. | Factories | (4.1%) |
| 2. | Warehouses | (1.3%) |
| 3. | Traders from home | (11.8%) |
| 4. | Retail outlets | (31.0%) |
| 5. | Offices | (14.7%) |
| 6. | Head offices | (21.9%) |
| 7. | Education | (2.7%) |
| 8. | Medical | (3.6%) |
| 9. | Transport | (0.1%) |
| 10. | Civic | (0.4%) |
| 11. | Workshops & repair | (3.6%) |
| 12. | Sports & leisure | (2.3%) |
| 13. | Centres of worship | (1.0%) |
| 14. | Other | (1.7%) |
B2b data can be tailored to your market using the premise type. For example, fork lift truck companies would be interested in warehouse prospect lists, whereas photocopier sales would prefer a data list of offices.
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.
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.
