Frequently asked questions
Here we have listed answers to the most common questions we have received. If you have a question which is not answered please contact us.

to some alternative questions about Recentlymoved..
Why should I contact new movers?
New movers are quite simply the best qualified consumer prospects, looking to spend large amounts of money on their new home and garden. They spend more in the first six months than established residents spend in 5 years.
Could I just try a small sample?
The problem with a small sample is just that; it is small. Mailing 100-200 clients may get you some results but our experience says that you really need to commit to a campaign that runs over twelve months to really benefit from a direct mail campaign. This will give you time to develop and refine your mailings and allow you a large enough sample to objectively review the progress.
We are quite happy to send you a small sample of data so you can see the fields and quality of the data, alternatively you could order a test amount of 1,000 or 5,000 prospects.

What is Recentlymoved?
Recentlymoved is a unique direct marketing solution that provides you with a monthly list of new residents that have recently moved into your chosen postcode area.
Recentlymoved provides a constant and easily manageable source of new leads that simply have to be followed up by letter. Recentlymoved is a subscription-based service available over a range of time periods.
What sort of businesses can benefit from Recentlymoved?
An extremely wide range of businesses from many different sectors find Recentlymoved a proven source of new business. Subscribers range from small ventures looking to target their immediate local area, through to larger organisations seeking to target new movers in specific regions, or nationwide.
Industry sectors that experience particular success with new movers include Home Improvements, Financial Services, Insurance, Utilities, Telecoms and Leisure.
Are any of my competitors already subscribing?
In our experience it is rare you will find another business already subscribing that will be promoting exactly the same offer, product, service or package, to the same geographic area as you. However to ensure the leads are not saturated with offers, and so provide you with the best quality prospects, we limit the number of subscribers working in the same line of business for each geographic target area.
If your area is unavailable you will be offered an alternative, or you can be added to the waiting list for your preferred area.
How do you obtain the new mover listings?
The Recentlymoved list has been identified by combining a number of unique resources including significant data contributions from partner organisations, plus the latest commercially available Electoral Roll and monthly rolling register, lifestyle survey information, directors at home data and shareholder data.
How accurate is the data?
The Recentlymoved database goes through sophisticated data build routines and hygiene utilities, meaning that the data is validated to check that it is the first time we have seen the name at the address, that it truly is a new name at an address and that the individual has not resided there for sometime. This provides complete confidence that a move has taken place and not just an additional named individual joining a household.
What information is included in the data?
For each prospect, Recentlymoved data includes the movers Name (Title, Initial, Surname), Address (Address Lines 1-5), and Postcode.
How will I receive my list of new movers?
Recentlymoved data is supplied electronically to you as an email attachment that can be easily opened in most office packages, including Microsoft Word or Excel. This means you can either integrate the addresses straight into your existing database or run a mail merge directly from the data. We can also supply data in the form of mailing labels, printed lists or on a disk.
When will I receive my list? Details of recent movers are collected ongoing. You will then receive updates in your chosen area by the 7th working day of each month, providing you with the latest prospects for you to follow up.
When you subscribe you'll normally receive the next scheduled monthly data. However if you wish to start marketing straight away, we can provide the current month's data immediately upon request.
How many new movers will I receive?
The quantity of addresses you receive depends on the size of the geographic area you wish to subscribe to. Counts are based on the average number of movers found in that area over a 12 month period. The actual amount of addresses that we send you each month will can vary from 100 upwards and may fluctuate depending on the activity for a particular month.
What should I do with my new movers list?
Ideally you should mail these new movers as soon as you receive them with an introductory letter explaining how your products or services should be of interest to new movers. If possible your letter should include a good "CALL TO ACTION" such as an offer with a deadline to place an order, arrange an appointment, or request a brochure etc.
Because you receive a steady flow of prospects each month, the prospects are easily manageable by even the smallest business, perhaps sending a dozen or so letters each day.
Once you have order you will be givin full access to Terry, our online virtual sales manager. Terry will provide you with tips and tricks and guide you through our simple step by step letter writing tool.
What response can I expect?
Recentlymoved subscribers receive a range of different response rates from their leads, depending on the relevance of their service, and the quality of their letter. Take a look at the Testimonials page.
