Our data is generated through joint ventures with some of the UK's most recognisable household brands. Be it a warranty card inserted into product packaging, a customer survey distributed by a major utility or a newspaper or magazine readership survey, the common thread linking all our data is that it is supplied directly by the consumer to a trusted brand.

New data arrives with us 365 days a year.

We capture all paper responses on the same day that they are received. Selections are available for purchase by 10am the next working day. Via our online registration sites, we are able to supply leads immediately following registration, enabling you to contact the prospect in real time.

There are a number of factors that will have a bearing on the costs of the data supplied including: it’s age; volumes ordered; channel (i.e. mail/email/telephone/mobile); number of selections; single or multiple use. Please call one of our account managers any time to discuss your specific requirements.

We always aim to deliver the same day. We guarantee 48 hours.

We only allow a select number of sponsored questions on our survey. However, our online registration sites do carry a dedicated section in which these are placed. Please call us to enquire as to current availability.

No. Aside from some technical requirements to ensure responses can be properly data captured, the look and feel of the survey will be dictated by you. Our designers are very experienced, having put together hundreds of such surveys over the last 10 years, and have a clear understanding of what will work and the pitfalls to avoid. However, final artwork will only be signed off once you indicate you are completely satisfied with the results.

No, never. Data derived from the questions you pose to your customers is yours and yours alone. We will data capture it, analyse it and provide you with reports on it, but we will never sell or pass on the data or this information to a third party.

We adhere to a number of safeguards designed to protect both your brand and your consumer. Three core rules underpin everything we do:

1. Supplied names and contact details will never be identified as having come from a particular brand or named source.
2. All Partner specific data (i.e. answers to the questions you wish to pose) is entirely owned by the Partner and will never be released to a third party.
3. Responders are clearly informed how the data they provide will be used. They can choose to opt in or out of receiving third party communications.

Selections are fields of information held against every record within the database (i.e. gender, age, income etc..). Increasing the number of selections will enable more accurate targeting but will decrease the volume of available data that can be utilised.

Demographics are the statistical characteristics of a population.
i.e. gender, age, income etc...

The changes in demographics in a population over time (for example, the average age of a population may increase or decrease over time).
Both distributions and trends of values within a demographic variable are of interest.

A postcode is the primary piece of information used in the sorting and delivery of postal items. A Postcode represents one or more Delivery Points, or a PO Box. It has two parts: the Outcode and the Incode. These are further divided into an Area, District, Sector and Unit (see below for definitions). For the Postcode NR14 7PZ:

Postcode Area

This is indicated by the first letter(s) in the Postcode, for example NR. There are 124 Postcode Areas in the UK.

Postcode District

This is a sub region of a Postcode Area represented by the numbers in the Outcode. (Refer to the definition of Postcode). An example of a District is NR14.

Postcode Sector

Represented by the first digit of the Incode (Refer to the definition of a Postcode). An example of a Sector is NR14 7.
