Minimum order value is
£225 (subject to
our terms and conditions on minimum orders). All prices shown
exclude VAT.
Payment terms: We do not establish accounts for customers on your first three orders
(please
do not ask for them) -
pre-payment must be made by either cheque, BACS or
credit/debit card. Orders in excess of £1,000 must
be paid for by cheque or BACS. From the fourth order and
onwards, we will establish credit accounts subject
to status and will normally factor the invoices. |
|
|
 |
|
Why is there a minimum order value?
|
|
Our most expensive cost is engineer time. Our engineer
time is factored at a certain hourly rate and a certain
amount of hours per month per customer. We have to
factor in that time to all jobs - if we can minimise it,
we pass the savings on to you.
|
|
Do the email addresses have decision-maker names?
|
65% of our data is what is know as "generic" - for
example, info@mdelt.co.uk, enquiries@mdelt.co.uk, etc.
The other 35% has a decision-maker name on it, usually
the managing director but not always.
Our service is best suited if your company wants to sell
to other companies with 50 or less staff. In companies
like these, emails sent to generic addresses tend
greatly to go to decision-makers, who then decide
whether to deal with it themselves or pass it onto
someone else.
In other words, there is very little practical
difference between sending to "named" and "generic"
emails when a company has 25 or less member of staff. As
ours is a budget service, we buy telephone-researched
and opt-in "generic" names first because it costs us
less and we can pass the savings on to you. You pay less
and hit virtually all the same people you would with a
100% "named" list.
|
|
Which type of company is the service best suited to?
|
|
If you can offer your product across a wide range of
businesses across the UK (about 15% of respondents can),
our email marketing will be the best advertising deal you have
ever come across in terms of cost and response. Bar
none.
|
|
What is the point of splitting the campaign over a
number of days or weeks?
|
On successful campaigns, you could get dozens of
responses over just two or three days if you send out in
one go. The vast majority of our customers are small
businesses. Each small business has their own 'capacity'
- the leeway to deal with customers the way you want to
paying them the right level of respect and attention.
By splitting the campaign, you can do this easily.
Responses come in over a longer time period meaning your
service levels aren't compromised. Plus, sometimes it
takes two or three designs to reach optimum
responsiveness. When you split the campaign, you're not
putting all your eggs in one basket - you can change the
email to test for better response. |
|
What about reporting?
|
Meridian Delta offers a budget service. We
value-engineer our services to offer great value.
You're in business - you know you pay for what you get.
We can offer the prices that we do because we shave off
all the additional services you would get from another
supplier. The surprising thing is that it is not the
email records used on your campaign that pushes up the
cost, it's the amount of time engineers and designers
spend on it that makes it expensive.
No email company offers delivery logs. Unlike faxing,
there is no mechanism within email where the receiving
machine sends a delivery report back to the sending
machine to say that it has been recieved. Obviously,
we're no different.
We can give you "send logs" - the names of the companies
we sent to on your behalf, together with their line of
business, their postcodes and the size of their
companies (measured by number of staff). On a split
campaign, we can send you those logs on 3 different days
of the campaign. Any more and we start to lose money on
the campaign as each log takes up to 30 minutes to
prepare.
For "read" logs, we can provide these for you at the
cost of £15 per day of the campaign. |
