Don’t Let Bad Data Turn Your Marketing into a Horror Show

Data is the pivotal factor of any direct marketing campaign. Great data will give the campaign the chance to succeed and be seen, bad data will be the sole contribution to the downfall of the campaign. People may still respond to a poorly targeted message, but they can’t respond to a message they never received. When purchasing data your sole objective is to make sure your marketing campaigns are delivered to the intended target audience.

The Effects of Bad Data

Data is a great tool and will always be extremely effective for marketing. When buying data, you have to be realistic; if a business is offering you 100% deliverability rates and it sounds too good to be true, unfortunately in most cases it will be. Buying a cheap or old data set could cause you and your business multiple issues.

The worst effect bad data can have on your marketing campaigns is that they will never be seen. With a high bounce rate, all the hard work you put in designing, building and implementing your campaign has gone to waste along with the time and money spent on it. To rub salt into the wound you may also be flagged by your email provider due to a high bounce rate which can result in being blacklisted, resulting in you no longer having the privilege of sending email marketing campaigns.

This will damage your sender reputation, leading to you and your business looking extremely unprofessional. Your productivity will be lowered, along with little to no customer acquisition to represent the time and money you have spent on this marketing project. Bad data as seen above can be extremely detrimental to your business, so don’t turn your marketing into a horror show!

The Effects of Good Data
