5 Tips for Creating Targeted Profiles

Creating a properly targeted profile is so important in database marketing. Making sure you know enough about businesses in order to properly separate them into different categories is key to a successfully targeted messaging campaign. Here are five tips to help you create a properly targeted profile.

1. First, ask yourself what business sector you are targeting with each specific message. Making sure that your message gets to the correct sector of business is a great first filter to apply. A Canada directory like Scott’s Directories can allow you to search through a comprehensive list of business types, such as the educational market place or healthcare, to make sure that you find the correct business type for each targeted message.

2. Next, you will want to focus on location. Your service may need different messaging to succeed in different locations. For example, if your current targeted profile is aimed at local businesses, than you will want to make sure you filter by local locations. Scott’s Directories Canadian business database has you covered here as well. Our online database covers regional and national datasets, including Ontario business, Western business, and businesses in the Atlantic region.

3. Go beyond cold calls to save your team time when crafting a targeted profile. Information is the basis of all good targeted profiles, but that doesn’t mean that fact-finding needs to take up the majority of time for your team. Make the investment of a subscription to a good quality Canadian business database so that your team can have access to all of the information that they need to create targeted profiles 24/7. A subscription to Scott’s Directories will make finding comprehensive contact information a breeze.

4. A good targeted profile can only be created with accurate information. You don’t want to go through the trouble of creating a customized message with a certain target profile in mind, only to find out that your customized message lost efficacy because it was built upon inaccurate data. To create a target profile of businesses who your goods or services would best fit, make sure that your team is only working with the most accurate and up to date information. If you’re unsure about the quality of information that your team has access to than you can greatly upgrade your targeted profile by subscribing to the Scott’s Directories Canada directory. Our business database is exclusively compiled and verified yearly so that you can rest assured that our information is of good quality.

5. A truly targeted profile will also be built on fairly detailed information. The more you know about a business, the more targeted your messaging can be. Scott’s Directories knows this. That’s why we offer over 580,00 detailed B2B company database lists, and contact information for over 1.2 million key decision-makers.
