Hi. I want to trial buying in a mailing list based on our customer profile and doing direct mail and email campaigns.

Can anyone advise on a reputable company that provides verified and up-to-date lists?
Thanks

For many data companies it comes down to the target market you are going after. If you want generic job roles like MD, Sales Director etc. in large markets then you should have very little problems getting hold of the data, you do need to watch quality though.

If you have specific job titles in niche industries you may struggle more. Data companies are very good at padding data to make it seem like they have more e.g if you are targeting network managers they will include a lot of IT managers or even Managing Directors as these have ultimate responsibility, but probably won't help your campaign.

If you put more information up as to exactly what you are looking for I may be able to recommend some.

If you want a good database my advice would always be to build it yourself but obviously this is a lot slower.

Thanks for the reply. I'm primarily after people who own specific vehicle types, then refined by age and location. I would also be useful (but maybe not vital) to know income level and job title. HTH! Cheers.
