"Selectabase are wholly focused on the provision of quality direct marketing data. Data that is clean and screened against both MPS and TPS. I haven't experienced a company so focused on the quality of their data universe before."

What mailing lists does Selectabase offer?

"Selectabase offer both business and consumer lists. The data is also available to select and purchase online through the easy to use Prospect Download System. To make a selection visit Prospect Download Business or Prospect Download Consumer depending on who you are looking to market to. There are also a good number of list management tools available: TPS Check telephone preference service checking, Easy Check desktop data checking and Clean my List data cleansing."

Anything else?

"Of course! Selectabase cater for all user requirements. For segmented marketing to specific prospects there are packaged solutions. With these, marketers can target particular businesses and target sectors. For example, New B2B allows you to target new start up businesses. Marketers can also target consumers that have recently moved house or who are about to celebrate a birthday. This opens up a great deal of flexibility for different campaigns and better segmentation for a measurable return on investment. The straight list bundles provided by Selectabase also offer better segmentation, for example the targeting of the grey market with Silver Prospects or Prospa high growth companies. Or build a list using your own unique criteria with the Prospect Download online list service."
