ADBASE

Database

  1. You can download data from our website in tab or comma-delimited format as a Data File. When using a mail fulfillment company mailing lists will be sent in tab-delimited format. Please note that when you download ADBASE data in combination with My Contacts data your lists will not be deduped.
  2. To submit a correction click Submit Correction at the top of the Database page. Our Researchers verify all corrections before they are incorporated into our databases.
  3. This means that the specific person at the company does not want to receive emails. Therefore, to save you from wasting time, we have removed their email address from the list.
  4. A lead agency produces the basic ideas and concepts for an advertisement campaign. These concepts are later passed to non-lead agencies that customize the advertisements for certain demographics or specific market services, such as direct marketing. For example: Coca Cola might hire a full-service advertising agency as a lead agency for their print and television campaign. A non-lead agency would then take the ideas, plans and concepts of the campaign and customize everything for Spanish speaking audiences.
  5. Technically, this is possible by downloading a data file from our website and importing that into your database (see your software manual for further instructions on importing). We suggest that you consider very carefully whether or not you really want to do this. There are two main issues that arise when our data is imported into another program, particularly if it is merged with another database. First, if you choose not to renew your subscription when it expires and continue to use the merged database you will be in violation of our license agreement. Second, and more practically, once you import the data there is no efficient way to keep it up-to-date. You cannot re-import the data in the future without creating many duplicates and keeping old deleted contacts. To avoid this, we suggest that you keep a separate database with your "hot" sales contacts, and use ADBASE as your "cold" database for executing your mailings.

    You can manage your own private sales contacts on the ADBASE website with ADBASE Contact Manager. You can browse, review and edit the data then output these contacts to labels or your mail fulfillment company the same way as, and along with, your ADBASE custom lists. By using ADBASE Contact Manager you need only keep your own private database up-to-date and you avoid any potential licensing issues.
  6. Yes. By outputting a custom list as a data file to your computer you can then import it into Filemaker. For further instructions on importing a data file into Filemaker, please consult your software program manual.
  7. Yes. If your mobile device is capable of importing files in tab or comma-delimited format then you will be able to transfer ADBASE data to your mobile device. For further instructions on importing data files, please consult your software manual.
