Boomtime!
These days, the market is abuzz with a lot of B2B activity. Start-ups, especially those related to online businesses and the digital environment, are receiving seed/angel funding or are being acquired like never before by large business enterprises – both international and domestic. Acquisitions and consolidations are taking place at a frenzied pace, and the Indian corporate environment is rapidly changing its colours.
Now, more and more marketers, across various industries in India, are seeking professionally collated, trustworthy, tried and tested B2B data from professionally managed and therefore reliable and dependable data houses, to market their products or services. They seek to target the entire gamut of Indian corporates – Micro SMEs/SMEs/Medium and Large Corporates/IT companies/ITES/Telecom/Manufacturing, Services, Retail, Export/Import, Retailers, BFSI industries, amongst others.
The manufacturing industry – one of the largest segments – consists of various sub-industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Automobiles, Auto Ancillary/Component, FMCG, Chemical, Petrochemical, Textiles, Electrical, Metal, Oil & Gas, Consumer Durables, Paints, Cements, Equipment & Machinery, Sugar etc.
Trusted and reliable databases in high demand!
The individuals on these databases are middle/upper and top management contacts who are decision makers, have high purchasing power, and are affluent consumers. Targetting them with industry specific products/services including offers related to subscriptions, banking and finance, fundraising, travel, insurance, memberships, luxury and lifestyle products etc., has proven beneficial to mailers.
In this scenario, it becomes vital for any company wishing to use Direct Marketing tools such as Direct Mail, Telemarketing, etc., to have access to a high quality, clean and reliable database of personnel in Indian/Multinational companies.
