The Most Essential New Year's resolution for your business!

Going a step further

When you’re keeping yourself fit for the new year, getting those steps in is vital. The same is true when it comes to managing your data. The more work you put in, the better the outcome of your sales campaigns.

Always ensure your contact data is complete. Complete data allows you to personalise your campaigns which improves open rates, achieves higher CTRs, and better customer satisfaction.

In fact, a recent Dun & Bradstreet report revealed 20% of businesses lost customers because of inaccurate and incomplete data sets.

You should also consider segmenting your data to enable more specific targeting.

The number of global e-mail users is set to grow to 4.48 billion users in 2024. (Statista, 2020) but although many businesses have tried to compensate for in-person and telephone sales through digital content and channels the end result has been that buyers are feeling inundated with messaging that lacks context and relevance.

That's why we'd recommend you niche down your audience and fine-tune your content to match their needs. Segmented email campaigns have open rates over 14% higher than non-segmented campaigns. Marketers who used segmented campaigns noted as much as a 760% increase in revenue.

The first step: audit your data

Before you start your next campaign we would highly recommend a data audit if you haven’t completed one in a while.

It’s important to regularly review the age of your contact data because on average 35% of contacts are no longer accurate in static databases.
