Some final considerations when making a decision for list sourcing:
- Do you already have a purposeful in-house list that you have built or acquired? Is it large enough to drive a sizeable audience to your event? Is it fatigued – have they heard all your stories?
- A profitable, segmented in-house list may provide higher response rates than a fresh list of matching prospects.
- If you want to attract fresh new “eyeballs” you can look to the many companies that offer lists acquisitions and subscriptions, such as Hoover’s and Dun & Bradstreet, etc.
- If you are acquiring, renting or subscribing to a list, you need to consider how accurate, how re-usable and what methodology is used in maintaining these lists.
