Direct Mailing Lists

Mailing Lists for Beauticians Businesses

For those of you who sell to beauticians businesses, lead generation can have a huge impact on selling efforts. But what if your business doesn't know how to find high-value prospects?

A individualistic mindset is dangerous and foolhardy for companies that sell to beauticians businesses.

In order to successfully sell to beauticians businesses, segmentation is a must -- and that means you have to be thoughtful in assembling your prospect lists.

When to Change Lead List Providers

Good lead list vendors stake their reputations on the quality of their products. A single lapse can mean disaster for a B2B enterprise, so it's important to regularly evaluate the quality of your provider. Good providers deliver reliable lead lists and are careful to include new beauticians businesses in their database.

If your current provider isn't meeting your expectations, it's time to go shopping. At Gaebler, we recommend Experian Business Services. Experian delivers first-rate beauticians business leads that convert at higher rates than leads that have either been generated in-house or provided by other vendors.

Direct Mail Marketing Tips

With direct mail, you only get one chance to capture a prospect's attention. When a beauticians business decisionmaker reads your piece, he has to be knocked over by what he sees.

Most businesses invest liberally in the creation of each direct mail piece. But the effort and resources you put into your direct mail marketing channel will be wasted unless your pieces are seen by the right people. Consequently, lead generation isn't just about adding beauticians business names to a list -- it's about producing a high quality list of beauticians business sales prospects.

Measuring Lead List ROI

There are several metrics that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of beauticians business lead lists.

For starters, conversion rate (number of sales/number of leads) is essential in measuring lead list success and failure rates. But you may also want to think about integrating a few other metrics into your assessment routine.

A units-per-lead measurement can tell you a lot about the quality of the leads you're receiving from your vendor. When compared to your internal lead generation metrics, a low figure here could indicate a provider that isn't performing adequate qualification or lead filtering. Similarly, individual metrics for your sales staff indicate how well each of your team members is using the leads they receive from your vendor.
