Database issues

One of the biggest problems with building databases is that it is often considered a low level job, to be undertaken when there is spare time by people who are not particularly trained or experienced in building databases.

As a result, databases can often be out of date, and can be full of inaccuracies.  The money saved by undertaking database work in-house when there is some spare time is often wasted because of the errors found in the resultant database.

Hamilton House Mailings has a specialist Database Team that can undertake all the work required in terms of database building and development.   Prices and details are below:

Entering Data

• Data entry: 18p per name and address, including two additional data entry fields (such as a yes/no or single letter code field).

• Each additional field required: 1p per entry

• Importing data from an existing database: price depends on format but where no re-entering of data is required: £25

• Unscrambling data - for example where the original data has not been consistently entered: 12 per address.

Amending data

• Amendments to existing records: 6p each entry

• De-duplication (for example where a database is imported):  5p per address on the database

Supplying data from the database

• Supplying a list of records in any format (labels, on CD etc) 4p per entry supplied

• Set up charge where the number of records supplied is under 300: £7.50

• Delivery of the records: £5

Research projects

• Building a list from internet data.   The data entry prices above apply, along with an additional research fee which is dependent on the complexity of the work involved.

• Questionnaire analysis.  Again the data entry prices above apply, but in addition there is charge to analyse the data.   This is usually a set fee depending on the level of analysis and the time taken.   Obviously analyses of complex answers where the respondent can write in his/her own answer can be considerably more expensive than the analysis of simple yes/no answers or answers which involve ticking one of several boxes.
