infoGROUP® was founded in 1972 with $100 and a revolutionary idea – instead of thumbing through countless Yellow Pages looking for information, what if a person could buy one list containing information from every single phone directory in the U.S.? That vision grew from a start-up business run out of a garage into a global powerhouse of information solutions. Today, infoGROUP is a $750 million public company (NASDAQ: IUSA) with 5,000 employees worldwide, and offices in 48 states plus six countries.
The infoGROUP family includes industry-leading market research companies, database companies, sales and marketing companies, list brokerage and list management companies. More than 4 million global customers use our products and services to find new customers, grow their businesses, and for other direct marketing, telemarketing, customer analysis and credit reference purposes.
We offer the most comprehensive databases in the industry and are the only company to build and maintain 12 proprietary databases with details on virtually every U.S. and Canadian business and resident.
Information is compiled from the following public sources: more than 5,600 Yellow Page and Business White Page Telephone directories; annual reports, 10-ks and other SEC information; Continuing Medical Education (CME) directories; federal, state, provincial and municipal government data; chambers of commerce information; leading business magazines, trade publications, newsletters, major newspapers, industry and specialty directories; and USPS® information, including both U.S. and Canadian National Change of Address updates.
