false 3755 econsultancy_xml Hi Ross,<br />Personally I would not actually recommend any B2B email data. Your own CRM data will always perform better and I have seen far too many dodgy lists from so called industry leaders which make my toes curl!<br /><br />However the guys I would suggest are Electric Marketing. They have what you are looking for although this data is very much opt-out rather than opt-in.<br /><br />Make sure whatever email data owner you choose you understand:<br /><ul><li>What hard bounce rate you can expect (Make sure its under 10%)</li><li>Who gets to deliver the email - if the data owner choose to deliver the data thats actually a good sign as they sound like they value their data!</li><li>What percentage of generic addresses you can expect - there is always likely to be some as most B2B data is SME</li><li>Think about the message - give the recipient some value. Salesy messages will fall flat</li></ul> Be realistic with what you expect to achieve with these emails though - email is great as a retention and CRM tool but fairly weak when it comes to acquisition. Long term put plans in place to fully profile your target market in-house rather than buying it in as this will always be more effective.<br /><br />Sean Duffy<br />Emailcenter <p>On 10:44:17 15 February 2008 IanMitchell1 wrote: </p><blockquote><p> </p><p>Help Needed! </p><p><br />I am trying obtain good email / telephone data for a campaign to the Retail industry. </p><p><br />Other than using my existing CRM database I am struggling to find good sources to obtain accurate data. <br /></p><p>My Specific Requirement Is: <br />- Senior Decision Makers <br />- Company Name <br />- Telephone Number <br />- Personal Email Address (Not Generic Emails) <br />- Company Address <br />Any help you can give would be much appreciated. <br /><br />Ross Taylor <br />Marketing Manager <br />Direct Response Ltd <br />www.drltd.com <br /></p></blockquote><p> </p> <FormattedContent xmlns="http://www.e-consultancy.com/schema/formattedContent/">Hi Ross,<LineBreak />Personally I would not actually recommend any B2B email data.
