Where to buy NZ database lists
I saved this because SVDP asked and others may in future. There is no easy list but here are some options.
How to Choose a New Zealand Business Database
Every business uses a contact database of some sorts, whether it is locked away in your head or hopefully all contained in a CRM (Contact Relationship Management) system.
Growing your own database takes a lot of time so using an established and maintained external product is a quick and easy way of accessing large amounts of information that could take you years to build yourself.
Two of the most important factors in marketing your product or services are:
- Focus your resources
- Target the right people
Both of these can be achieved by choosing your business database correctly.
Your investment in a business database is only the first of many expenses and it will not be the biggest. There may be printing, postage and phone calls (depending on how you use it) but most of all, the cost of your time. If the database is inaccurate or cannot supply the details you need you will waste time and resources contacting the wrong companies and the wrong people and it may represent your business very poorly.

NZ Business Database Suppliers
There are a number of New Zealand suppliers of business databases, directories and lists.
Each supplier has their own merits, strengths and weaknesses. As an educated customer you will be able to make an informed choice about the best option for you. Kompass is a great solution for particular problems but other products are more suitable for some users. This is a list of suppliers in the NZ market that we are aware of.
