Process & Costs
To create a
customer characteristic analysis, we take the names of your current customers,
merge and match them with our master database, and find new prospects that look
like your best customers.

Process
We
start with your customer list, (name, address, sales history). You tell us what
geographic area you would like your prospect list to cover, and how many new
names (upper limit) you would like to receive. We prepare your list for
analysis by
geocoding your
customers, to accurately map their physical location. Then, we append data to
draw a complete picture of your current customers. From that we create a "best
customer profile". Your prospect list is created by identifying households or
businesses that match your profile but are not currently customers.
For
consumer lists, we append
demographic
and
lifestyle
data. For business lists, we append data useful for profiling, such as age of
business, size in sales and number of employees, and SIC and NAICS codes.
Then the fun begins. Seasoned analysts look for patterns… connections… insights.
The result is a profile that tells us not just who your best customers are, but
why - and better still, how to reach more households or businesses just like
them.
You'll receive:
-
A summary report
of the analyst's findings.
-
A color-coded map
showing geographic location of current and prospective customers.
-
A targeted
prospect mailing list (in spreadsheet format) you may use for up to one year.

Costs
Several variables affect pricing. A customer characteristic analysis, starting
from a clean database and yielding a mailing list of 1000 names in one
geographic area, costs as little as $4,000 depending on the size and complexity
of your customer data files. Add more names for as little as $135/1000. Now
that’s affordable data mining.
If
you wish the enhanced database returned to you, there is an additional fee to
cover the licensing and handling required to release proprietary data appended
to the customer information you provided us. The fee is typically under $1750.
