Directories are ever-popular and are still mailed out from the UK to many international destinations each year. Here we explore the variety of directories and how bakergoodchild can help your business to manage their distribution internationally.
What is a directory?
A directory is simply a comprehensive listing of private individuals or businesses that are published usually in an alphabetical order in often quite large directory formats. There is still a strong demand for directories, in particular specialist directories for niche trades and skills. Sometimes directories are also published regionally, i.e. by town/city or county.
What types of directories are mailed internationally?
The following are all examples of types of directories which could be sent using international mailing services:
- Business or Trade directory – This is a specialist directory for a given business or trade, examples could include legal directories (e.g. Chambers and Legal 500), classic cars and hobbies (e.g. antiques and philately)
- Importers / Exporters directories – For businesses looking for international contacts, importers and exporters directories provide a ready stream of potential new contacts
- Charities and NGO directories – These directories provide information about charities and NGO’s (national governmental organisations)
- Phone directories – Yellow pages and Thomson Local are the most well-known phone directories. These are still distributed internationally and provide details of businesses by sector along with contact details
- Others – the above are just a snapshot of directory types, there are many others types of directories which could also be mailed
