Data Depot Email Marketing

Data Depot Email Marketing

You may be curious to know how the data that Data Depot email marketing collects is compiled. It actually comes from a range of sources including but not limited to:

 

  • Over 5,201 Business white Page Directories
  • Yellow Pages
  • Telemarketing
  • Federal, City State, and County Government Data
  • Trade Associations
  • Bankruptcy records and legal filings
  • State licensing boards
  • Market leading business magazines and incorporations
  • Postal service information, including the national change of address register

As you can see, the source list is packed. This means that the full-time team of Data Depot email marketing researchers has its work cut. This is because the company is affiliated with over 10,000 websites, and data is always pumping in 24 by 7. A time stamp is attached to every IP address that is logged in, thanks to Data Depots opting in settings.

Why is Data Depot one of the most competitive providers of email marketing?

The first technique that has proved most effective is to update the various databases on a monthly basis. This is a logical approach as the average client updates are conducted once or twice a year; therefore Data Depot's database will be suitably updated when it is required. Data Depot is a privately held company, unlike many of their rival competitors who are far larger and are publicly quoted on the various stock markets.


These larger competitors believe that spending lavishly on marketing or supporting popular charity funds is the way to do business. Data Depot, on the other hand, focuses on its primary task of collecting and compiling high quality market data which can be shared with its clients. All the operations are streamlined for the most efficient operation at the lowest possible operational cost, thus allowing Data Depot to pass on these savings to its clients at the most competitive prices.

What data formats are available?

There are various formats available as standard including:

 

  • Microsoft Excel .txt and .csv files
  • Advantage UB US business lists are available in MS Access .mbd and Excel .csv
  • My SQL dumps can be provided at an additional charge
  • Consumer data is large and will be provided on .txt file format

How is data made available?

During working hours (within 15 minutes of a client order being placed), the data is made ready and a download link will be emailed. If the order is placed less than 15 minutes before closure or over the weekend, the order will be processed the next business day. Security is very important to Data Depot. Should clients be using free of charge email accounts or have websites that are still under construction, additional security checks will be carried out to make sure that all is in order.

Are there any usage limits and how can files be imported?

The only restriction that exists is that databases may not be resold. Clients with an active account can download data as many times as they like. Files can be imported into many applications that include:

 

  • Microsoft Works mail merge label files
  • ACT
  • Outlook
  • Word 2002 XP label mail merge
  • Word 95-2000 for labels
  • WordPerfect

The maximum list size is 40MB with 20MB being the suggested upload size.
