CSG OFFERS CUSTOMIZED DATABASE.

With more than 70 years of retail and foodservice intelligence by their side, Chain Store Guide, Tampa, Fl., a division of Lebhar Friedman, Inc., has introduced their new state-of-the- art online searchable database, CSG Online located at http://www.csgis.com.

CSG has taken their retail intelligence information to a new online level. Manufacturers, retailers, distributors and service providers nationwide celebrate from the quality and depth of CSG Online's data mining capabilities. From generating mailing lists and forming sales strategies to pinpointing contacts and locations, there is nothing else in the retail and foodservice industry that compares.

But what makes CSG Online stand above the rest is that their data is refreshed weekly through a staff of editors and research professionals. Information is confirmed primarily by phone, fax, mail and email. In turn, this validates the information and ensures its completeness and accuracy. The result is better data -- truly useful data that retail and foodservice professionals can count on to grow their businesses.

"Not only does the data itself provide retail intelligence, but the online exportable format is really what makes it smart," said Chain Store Guide's Product Development Director, Mike Jarvis. "It's 100% user-friendly; simply select your desired criteria, point and click, and in seconds you've not only targeted your customers, but have fresh data that can be immediately acted upon ... now that's data intelligence."

CSG Online comes in a Pro and Lite version, both of which are cost- effective and catered specifically to end-user needs. CSG's database consists of more than 200,000 retailers, foodservice operators, distributors and wholesalers in the United States and Canada and includes more than 300,000 key executives and buyers across 50 different retail and foodservice business channels.

CGS also offers data in other useful forms, including print, online and CD-ROM, as well as customized databases.
