“How can I get more customers?”

That’s a common question we hear from our members --- no matter the type of industry. To respond to this need to connect people and businesses, the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce a new way for Chamber members to identify fresh prospects easily and quickly.

And at a deep discount.

Through a special arrangement, the Chamber is partnering with Acxiom (NASDAQ:ACXM), a global leader in B2C and B2B marketing data and mailing lists with 7000+ global clients and more than 40 years’ experience as an analytics and software-as-a-service company. By virtue of your membership in the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, we can acquire on your behalf sophisticated market research data (local as well as national) that will allow you to uncover new customers.

Here’s how it works:

1) We provide a menu of demographic and psychographic options.

2) You define the ideal profile of your targeted customer based off the menu or we can help you do this by easily and cost effectively building a Data Portrait Analysis of your current customers.

3) We deliver the prospects in a sortable spreadsheet for you to download.

Business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C) contacts can be sourced for direct mail, email, telemarketing, Facebook and mobile device outreach. The turnaround time is fast.

This service gives small and mid-size businesses the marketing capabilities that might otherwise be out of reach. It’s another example of what we’re doing in 2016 to ensure that “every Chamber member is prepared to become, or continue to be, a thriving Rhode Island business.”

If you would like to give our new “business marketing engine” a try, contact San Ragosta, vice president, membership. He’ll walk you through what’s possible and get you on track for expanding your customer base.
