Business List Databases

Business List Databases

In the world of marketing you will commonly hear about business list databases.
What are they? What exactly do they mean by "database"?
Most often even though they refer to them as databases they are simply
electronic files that you can purchase and download in "csv" format.

CSV formatted files are very popular because they can be opened with excel
and/or can be imported into almost any type of database system.
A Comma separated values (CSV) file is a computer data file used for storage of data structured in a table form. Each line in the CSV file corresponds to a row in the table. Within a line, fields are separated by commas, each field belonging to one table column. CSV files are often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, for example between a database program and a spreadsheet program.

Generally users are seeking a business database list for a specific geography
or a specific business category. As an example you may wish to have all the
contact data for manufacturers in a specific state or perhaps all the contact
info for all dentists in the USA. When purchasing your business list database you should not only consider your immediate needs but your long range needs as well. It might be cheaper in the long run to buy a business database list with more records than you need at this exact moment as you will later be able to use it again for other marketing efforts.

Business lists have long been valued in hard copy by salespeople and business
owners trying to grow their business.
The only difference is that now they are generally in electronic format.
This new format has the advantage of generally being affordable and more
often than not you can complete a purchase online and download the electronic
Business List Database within minutes.
