Thomsonlocal.com Launches New Ecommerce Data Website

March 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Following the launch of its Business Search PRO website, http://thomsonlocal.com has released a new e-commerce version of the site, enabling companies to purchase a one-off data list for targeted direct mail or telemarketing campaigns.

Designed around a user-friendly interface, the Business Search website (http://businesssearch.thomsonlocal.com) aims to make building a targeted business data list quick and easy, even for first-time users or individuals who have not purchased business data before.

Simon Davies, General Manager, thomsonlocal.com Direct Marketing Services said: “The world of B2B data can be seen as daunting for those who have not used the method for lead generation of marketing activity.  Therefore, our Business Search website aims to make the process simple and importantly, transparent.

“Whether a sole trader or a National brand, it is important for any businesses to have confidence in the data they are investing in.  However, companies that have limited experience of B2B data may not be aware of the pitfalls that unfortunately exist in terms of quality.  

“thomsonlocal.com makes over 40,000 verification calls each week from our dedicated call centre to ensure our business data is accurate, and now we have an e-commerce website that matches our data quality.

Davies continued: “Transparency is also important to our customers and for this reason we have introduced a simpler pricing structure making it easy for customers to compare prices of data for direct mail campaigns and telemarketing campaigns, aswell as with other business data providers in the market.
