Are any of my competitors already subscribing to New UK Companies?
In our experience it is rare you will find another business already subscribing who are promoting exactly the same offer, product, service, package, quality or price, to the same geographic area as you.
If a competitor is already subscribing – do you want to let them have all the new clients? Your letter, your offer, your mailing design may be more appealing to them – or they may wish to enquire with several companies to see which product or service best matches their needs (quality/price/other). Make sure you are in the mix!
The service is not exclusive. However to ensure our lists are not saturated with offers, and to promote the highest response, we typically try to limit the service to a maximum number of subscribers working in exactly the same line of business for each target geographic area or industry.
If your area is unavailable you can be offered an alternative, or you can be added to the waiting list.
