Our Advantages

Here are just a few of the strengths Direct Response has over every list source we are familiar with:

  • No Pressure
    Our highly trained employees are salaried, not commissioned, and are not pressured to “make the sale" and can provide an honest assessment of the accuracy and likely success of a given list. We represent all sources, all with similar profit margins, so we need not try to sell one over another. We make recommendations solely to help you succeed. If there is no appropriate list for your campaign, we'll tell you so!
  • Integrity Works
    We started, grew, and continue to grow because of repeat orders as a result of being honest and providing quality data with top-notch service. We rely primarily on thousands of word-of-mouth references!  
  • Current-Month Data – Guaranteed Accuracy
    To guarantee that our data is always the freshest and most accurate available, our lists are generated from current-month files from the industry's leading compilers. Current-month data assures you'll have the accuracy and deliverability you need for success the first time!
  • Every Order Double – Checked
    In addition, we always double-check orders for accuracy before shipping to virtually eliminate the huge potential waste in printing and postage costs or contacting unqualified prospects. Our guarantee beats all others with a minimum 94% deliverability assured on traditional compiled lists, and up to 100% on saturation and many specialty lists.
  • Best Pricing
    Based on the strength of our buying power with all seven major compilers, we offer the lowest pricing for all of your list and database purchases. When doing a price comparison, it is imperative to know whether the data is current-month or wholesale (which is regularly 2 to 8-months older), and which compiler will be providing the list.
  • Any Size Order
    No order is too small – No request too complex: Not only do we guarantee the lowest prices, we also offer the lowest minimums on any list, often 75% lower than other sources. In addition, we primarily sell to other brokers, including the largest in the nation, as we have the expertise and capacity to handle the most difficult and complex requests.

Example: DRA provides unique quantities from overlapping radii, neighborhood and vanity searches, street to street searches, and even basic merge/purge against in house or other rented lists at no charge!

 

Further, we're the "go-to" source for some of the nation's largest list resellers and even compilers, for complex requests and list and data solutions to address the most unique needs or difficult requests. We've customized data solutions for Fortune 500's and located dirt roads for the EPA. If there is a way, we'll find it!

No order is too large – No  request is too simple: Our expertise and volume pricing allows us to sell millions of dollars worth of data to Fortune 500's, yet we are just as eager to provide outstanding prices and service when selling mailing labels to local churches! We'll deliver at no charge, too!

  • Do-Not-Call Compliance
    All of our lists are prescreened against current Federal, State, and Direct Marketing Association do-not-call lists to ensure your compliance. However, we recommend periodic re-screening or utilization of real-time compliance services from Gryphon Networks (or similar services) if you will be using the telephone numbers over an extended period of time.

    We also offer the lowest prices for do-not-call screening of in-house lists and will assist you in obtaining the necessary registration and subscription documents now required by federal law for every B to C telephone list recipient.
  • Fast Turnaround
    Orders generally ship within 24-48 hours or sooner where list counts (excluding custom or specialty counts) and quotes are returned within 24 hours. Quick turnaround and delivery is generally only available with online count systems using installed, dated wholesale files. Rush service and 24-hour a day service is available, on weekends and holidays! When necessary we'll make sure your data is delivered when and where you need it!
  • Service and Flexibility
     Multiple Sources: We have the ability to combine data from multiple sources allowing you to benefit from the strengths of each and avoid weaknesses of others. We will also re-run counts for you as often as needed until you are satisfied and confident that you are purchasing the most appropriate list for your campaign.

    Analysis: We will "look-up" your best clients in a number of databases to identify their demographic parameters at no charge, allowing you to select prospects that mirror your best clients. In certain databases we offer free match reports and sample records. We'll then help you track and analyze responses by segment ensuring that each future campaign will be more efficient, more profitable than the previous campaign. Our free key coding of purchased (and many not-purchased) variables provides you with the means to learn the efficiencies available from even the most basic campaigns. It allows resellers to provide end clients with a database for querying, segmenting and tracking, rather than a nearly-worthless copy of the mailed list following the campaign. We'll also provide multiple copies of your list in various formats or layouts to meet every-party's needs, at no extra cost!
  • Free Data Processing Services
    Archives: Not only do we archive all orders and correspondence on site for quick retrieval if your data is corrupt or lost, we secure a second copy off-site to ensure no data is ever unrecoverable. We use your archived orders to merge/purge against current orders if unique records are needed. Compilers store this data for 6 months. We store it for 10 years!

    Data Processing: We'll also provide a second copy (or multiples) of your order at no extra cost. As an example, we'll deliver one file for telemarketing, or follow-up calls, or response tracking, and another file formatted for your mail-house or printer or set-up for producing mailing labels in-house. We provide basic merge/purge against in-house or other rented lists at no charge!
  • List Hygiene

      NCOA, DSF, LACS, Nixie/Tixie Processing, Look-Up, Merge/Purge, and Data Append and Analysis : We offer the lowest prices and minimum orders on all data processing services utilizing the most accurate and up-to-date Postal Compliance Software from industry leaders including Group 1, BCC, Postal-Soft and proprietary systems. All services are USPS compliant, including pre-sorting and bar-coding. We provide NCOA, CASS and PAVE certificates to obtain the lowest postage rates and highest deliverability.

We offer data append of any data element from any compiler and can often offer multiple options so you get only what you need at the lowest possible price. We help you understand the sources utilized in creating individual data elements, their accuracy, and the frequency and variables with which the fields are populated ensuring your analysis provides true-not skewed results. We even identify options where less accurate, less expensive data can provide nearly the same analysis results often at 50% less cost. We even help you set-up tracking and analysis programs, just ask!
