BigDirectories.com Frequently Asked Questions
Database/List Questions: Payment and Data Questions: Account Questions:
How often can I use this data?
BigDirectories.com offers an unlimited license with every database. Most companies only rent you the data for one time use, though we allow you to use this database as many times as you want, however you want, for as long as you want. With BigDirectories.com you never have to rent the same list twice for two different campaigns, even if they are years apart. Use this database for an e-mail campaign tomorrow, a direct mail campaign next week, a tele-contact campaign next month, and then another email campaign a year from now; BigDirectories.com places no limits on how you can use the data.

How frequently is your data verified and updated?

Are the databases/lists Opt in?
We leave the opting-in process and how they choose to use the data that we provide them completely in the hands of our clients. Because we are not renting access to the list/database, but rather providing our clients with non-exclusive ownership of it, we allow them to opt-in the contacts through their own marketing programs. Being used by most of the largest companies in the country, email marketing has proved to be a very effective means of marketing and can easily be done ethically and legally if you follow certain guidelines. Check out the following guidelines to understand more about what it takes to be CANSPAM compliant: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm. Top
What is the source of the data?
BigDirectories.com can be considered an original and unique source of information. This data has been compiled through years from direct marketing campaigns (email campaigns, tele-contact campaigns, and direct mail campaigns) run by BigDirectories.com, our partners, and our affiliates. The data has then been supplemented further by data appendage and collection from web based resources. No list that you purchase from BigDirectories.com will ever be a brokered list. Top
