We recently purchased a list that contained 2,200 manufacturers in Ontario with facilities over 33,000 sq ft in size. We were doing old fashioned mail-outs for marketing and have had results better than expected. We are looking at purchasing another list.
I’ve been using Scott’s Directories for more than 10 years now. Great product but the support you get is absolutely amazing. I recommend Bridget Wiley – incredible attitude and the willingness to help the customer no matter what. Thank you Bridget!
My company has been using the Scotts Directory for 30 plus years, first in the Printed edition, CD edition and now the On-Line edition. Scotts has been a valuable tool in expanding our business and an excellent resource for obtaining new companies and names. I would highly recommend purchasing the Scotts Directory for your business.
Rabiya provided my company with excellent service. She went above and beyond by assisting me with a complex migration project. I highly recommend Rabiya/Scott’s Directory to any company.
Easy to deal with. Great communication. It’s easy to isolate a list, and if I need help, they are around to support.
Was a brand new employee about a 10 weeks ago and I could tell that Scott’s Directory had far more bells and whistles than I was using. Decided to give their helpline a try. Upon calling, I was greeted by a kind and bubbly phone assistant named Rabiya. She taught me how to create and save company lists. That action alone saved me a lot of time. She would take a moment at the end of every call to point out a feature I was not familiar with.
