Should You Build a Mailing List or Just Buy One?



Mailing list plays an extremely important role for both online and offline marketing. However, building a list form the scratch is not an easy task. It takes time, patience and lots of quality sources to drive in all the leads. And most of the time such leads hardly are of desired quality.

Therefore, in such cases the smarter thing to do is to buy a database filled with targeted contact details and vital demographics that will provide you with quality targeted audience. All you need to do is simply choose a reliable vendor and provide them with the details of how your target audience should be.

Buying an instant mailing list will also save you time and money and lots of other efforts.

Here are a few key pointers that will help you decide better:

Convenience:

Buying an instant mailing list is far more convenient. You just place your details to your vendor and they will arrange for the entire prepackaged list that will suit your criteria

Data accuracy:

Generating your own lists can result into lots of inaccuracies and inconsistencies. This will happen especially when you are not sure of the source of your data and its quality.

Regularly updated:

Prepackaged lists are regularly updated to ensure its freshness. You might not have this facility while compiling your own list.

Number of contacts:

While building a list, you might face the daunting task of collecting a huge number of leads. However, prepackaged lists would come with huge number of contacts, along with all of their other details – all compiled and collected into one pack.

Email Deliverability: Ensure your reputation never comes in the way


In the previous post you learnt how you can grow your business with B2Bdatapartners’ accurate industry wise contact list. You decide to send them a promotional email in order to educate them about your products and services. But did you know that 77% of undelivered mails were due to sender reputation (source: Return Path)? As ISPs and webmail services get more sophisticated in how they assess incoming email, your sender reputation plays an ever bigger role in deciding whether your marketing email makes it to the recipient. 

Here are 5 ways to build an infallible sender reputation.
  1.     Use a dedicated IP address: Your IP address is the email equivalent of a Social Security number or passport. Don’t share it with any other company.
  2.      Keep a clean list: Maintain list hygiene by managing bounces, getting rid of inactive records, surveying your subscribers, and creating a preference center are a few examples.
  3.     Send relevant messages: If your messages are relevant, your subscribers are more likely to engage with them and less likely to complain.
  4.     Ask your subscribers to add you as a ‘Safe Sender’: Most ISPs offer some semblance of what is called “User-level Whitelisting” to their customers. This helps you gain credibility.
  5.     Immediately unsubscribe those who mark you as Spam: Get on the ISPs’ feedback loops to learn about who is marking you as spam. Brand new subscribers and older, inactive subscribers are most likely to complain.

Apart from your content, your reputation is what will make the difference between your emails being opened or being marked as spam. Many times, people open emails from a reputed sender even if the content is irrelevant. Hence taking care of your online reputation in general and email sender reputation in particular assumes paramount importance in today’s increasingly digital world.

Verification is the stepping stone to Data Victory


In the previous post we saw a classic scenario when a tele sales executive calls up the wrong person and ends up showing his company in poor light. Such situations are commonplace in small and big organizations when we’re aggressively trying to sell our new product.

                                            

How do we get maximum ROI from our investment on email and telephone lists? How do we efficiently deploy data management? By immediately exploiting these 2 fool-proof techniques.

        ·         Email Verification
        ·         Tele Verification


Email Verification
In order to reach more consumers, you’ve filled your database with umpteen contacts. In the process of gathering these addresses, certain minor details usually escape your observant eye (The @ sign, misplaced underscores, etc). As time went by, the owners of many of these email addresses might’ve migrated to a new address unknown to you. Another issue that may arise is that your prospects are no longer interested in your newsletter or product. So all the money that you spend on sending emails to these addresses essentially goes down the drain or worse, your company loses its reputation as a good sender.

So if you employ email verification, you can be rest assured that every email you send gets delivered to your prospect, does not hard bounce and is never marked as spam.

Telephone Verification
If email data decays at the rate of 3% a month, the quantum of telephone numbers getting changed is a lot higher. Making calls is also more expensive than sending emails. Also, people generally get the number format wrong. This can escalate into a costly issue because of the out-of-state and out-of-country charges that apply.

Hence if you implement telephone verification, you save on all these head-aches and easily reach the person you want to speak to.

B2Bdatapartners has a consummate email and tele verification process that ensures every email and every telephone number in your database is fresh, active, complete and opted-in. Use it to experience its benefits.

Don't speak to those who Don't want to listen to you


Imagine you have just gone to sleep, tired after slogging for the last 16 hrs to meet a deadline and the phone rings, “Good Morning Sir. I’m Scott calling from XYZ insurance company. Would you like to try our new policy?” You will slam down the phone and curse the sales person and the company for making such annoying phone calls.

In reality, Scott had checked who he was calling and made sure this was the right time to call. He also knew that this person would most likely buy the new insurance policy. Then where did Scott go wrong? In the telephone number that he dialed. His prospect had changed his number the previous month but Scott had his old number which was now being used by someone else. If the prospect had also changed his email address, Scott’s email id would’ve been marked as spam, or worse, if his email had hard bounced, his company would've been blacklisted.

How could Scott have avoided all this embarrassment? By verifying telephone numbers and email addresses beforehand. Data verification has 2 major benefits:

      1.  Getting in touch with your prospects on their current phone numbers and email ids.
      2.  Not troubling those who are not interested. They will go out of their way to mark you as spam.

Using unverified data depletes your resources while unnecessarily showing your company in poor light. Don’t lose the trust of those who might just be your future prospects. Use B2Bdatapartners’ Data Verification tool to reach only those who want to listen to you. Save your time and money and get maximum returns from your marketing campaigns.

Rejuvenate Your Data


Imagine working hard for a whole week, burning the midnight oil everyday to meet a deadline. You’ve lost weight, lost sleep and look completely fatigued. Now imagine going to a spa at the end of the week, relaxing with a soothing massage to repair your wrecked nerves and replenishing yourself with a sumptuous feast? I’m sure you’re feeling rejuvenated just imagining it. Now what would’ve happened if you had continued to work like a horse without taking even an hour off to revitalize yourself? Your productivity will hit rock bottom and it will take a lot of costly effort to pull you up.

Does this scenario draw an analogy with your business data? Old fatigued data is extremely unproductive, whereas fresh, new data will work wonders for your sales and marketing. Hence it is vital to update your data on a regular basis, the more frequently, the better. Moreover, did you know that a database tends to decay after every 60 minutes by 3%? Updating your database at regular intervals (minimum of 30 days) will keep it healthy and fresh.

In a nutshell, updated data helps you
