How are the lists compiled?
The Consumer Database is comprised of nearly 200 million households, compiled a great number of sources. More than 80 sources each month are used to update and compile names. These include the three major credit bureaus, motor vehicle, voter registrations, warranty and registration data, census data, phone directories, and many more. This multi-sourced method increases and enhances the overall quantity, quality and accuracy of the names. The Business Database is comprised of over 18 million businesses and is continuously updated and enhanced. A few major sources include financial and company publications, annual business reports, The Yellow Pages, Business White Pages, government directories and reports, and many more. Specialty Lists are individually compiled from a specific subscriber list, catalog buyer, or direct reported source. Telephone numbers are usually not available on very specific lists.
