B2B Prospect Lists

Mailing Lists for Health and Beauty Retailers

Wish you had a way to deal with increased competition? Buying lead lists could be the route to selling to more health and beauty retailers.

It's widely accepted that health and beauty retailer sales are all about relationships -- and good leads are the seeds for great relationships.

Despite the fact that lead lists can streamline the sales cycle, many sales teams forget that it's important to buy quality lists from proven list providers.

Using Lead Lists to Convert Sales

When it comes to conversions, lead lists can be powerful sales tools. If your health and beauty retailer lead lists are up-to-date, they can be leveraged for customized marketing pieces. Promotional material that has been customized with the name of the health and beauty retailer has a higher conversion rate than generic marketing content.

After the initial mailing, health and beauty retailer lists can provide the backbone for follow-up calls, e-mails and sales calls. The key is to use the accuracy of the lead list to your advantage and to maximize its potential throughout the sales cycle.

How to Develop Health & Beauty Retailer Leads

Health & Beauty Retailer leads are generated from a broad spectrum of sources. Local business directories, online searches and trade associations are good starting points. In recent years, many businesses have also used social media sites like LinkedIn to generate leads for their products. But regardless of the delivery platform, the key to lead development is networking. As your list of health and beauty retailer contacts grows, so does your list of likely customers.

When to Change Lead List Providers

Reputable lead list providers understand the importance of accurate lists. A single lapse can mean disaster for a B2B enterprise, so it's important to regularly evaluate the quality of your provider. Good providers are meticulous about quality and are careful to include new health and beauty retailers in their database.

If your current provider isn't meeting your expectations, maybe it's time to start looking for a new vendor. At Gaebler, we recommend Experian Business Services. Experian delivers first-rate health and beauty retailer leads that convert at higher rates than leads that have either been generated in-house or provided by other vendors.

Other Types of Lead Lists

If you sell to a broader market than this one, most mailing list vendors will be happy to help you with those markets as well. You can even target things like Companies In a Specific Geographic Area, Businesses That Accept Credit Cards, and other niche segments. The key is to think through who your best prospects are. Explain that profile to your mailing list vendor and they can usually take it from there.
