infoUSA (NASDAQ: IUSA), the leading provider of proprietary
business and consumer databases, sales leads, direct marketing, and
email marketing, announced today its plans to go global and will
initially target China and India. The Company will compile a
high-quality, telephone-verified database for these countries, which
will service the growing demand for this type of information from
businesses in the United States and abroad.
infoUSA is in discussions with several partners to
compile these databases which will have depth of information and
potentially feature photo images of the businesses.
"There is a tremendous demand for quality databases for sales and
marketing purposes, for research purposes, and for other corporate
applications in these markets," said Vin Gupta, Chairman and CEO of infoUSA.
"At this time there is no single entity filling this need in these
countries."
As the growth of the direct mail business slows, the Company’s
strategy is to develop high-quality, proprietary databases and create
technological solutions so these databases can be used in a variety of
ways by businesses, salespeople and the public and private sectors.
infoUSA started with a database of the United States, then
expanded into Canada, and is currently compiling a business database for
Great Britain. It is the Company's plan to expand into other countries
such as Australia, New Zealand and Ireland.
As the Company broadens its international presence, it will change the
name of the corporate entity, which will designate its global status.
