Insight Data: Are builders’ merchants missing the obvious?

Following a recent nationwide survey involving local builders and merchant depots, Insight Data revealed findings that promise to reshape the dynamics of the merchant and builder relationship.

The survey’s key takeaways shed light on two critical points. Firstly, it identified that merchant head offices are failing to offer sufficient support to their branch network in securing new trade sales. Secondly, it underscored a glaring deficiency in personalised marketing campaigns, with local builders expressing a distinct lack of communication from nearby branches – issues that can be remedied thanks to Insight Data’s sales and marketing solutions.

When Builders’ Merchants use Insight Data, they are offered the opportunity to leverage its comprehensive sales and marketing capabilities; accessing data solutions that help target relevant prospects, generate leads, and win new business.

Insight Data’s Local Builders Database is designed to be the go-to solution for merchants seeking to optimise their operations and outreach. The database provides the means for merchants and stockists, both at head office and branch level, to identify and engage with local builders within a preferred mile radius of their branch/es.
