The program is called Data Ferret and
it does just that, it ferrets around for data on the Internet.
For example you are a business selling building supplies to
contractors (the search works for any type of business from
Accountants to X-Ray manufacturers), you would first need the names,
addresses and telephone numbers of trade customers you wish to
target. This is normally a painstaking task collecting and refining
this information ready to phone or mail shot the businesses you want
to target.
Data Ferret is the answer! Simply type in the type of business
and geographical area you wish to target and within a matter of
minutes it will compile a database on your machine of all the
business that were found during it's search.
One of our customers needed to collect the names and addresses of
commercial printers to invite them to their stand at a trade show.
Data Ferret managed to collate over 4,500 names and address of
printers throughout the country in approximately 20 minutes. They
then used the built in label generator to produce the address labels
and the built in mail merge letter generator to compile the covering
letters.
I believe that you will find Data Ferret to be a very useful
tool, that will generate many more customers for you and save you a
considerable amount of time and money.
Prices start from £250 for a single user system.
