EVANSTON, Ill, February 1st, 2012/Manufacturers’ News, Inc./-- Industrial publisher Manufacturers’ News, Inc. today announced the launch of www.EZSelect.com a subscription-based service that provides users real-time access to MNI’s database of 400,000 U.S manufacturing establishments. MNI customers now have the ability to build custom manufacturers lists based on a variety of criteria, with the option to export data to CRM software or directly to mailing labels for customized marketing campaigns. In addition, users can share this information with colleagues, generate reports, and receive alerts of updates and media coverage of the companies they’ve selected.

“With so much company information in flux, we recognized our customers’ need for the most relevant data possible,” said Scott Kartsounes, MNI’s Vice President of Technology. “Our database is updated in real time by our 85-person research team, providing subscribers with up-to-the-minute data on 400,000 industrial companies. Although we will still offer databases on CD-ROM, our new subscription service takes this quality resource a step further by allowing our customers access to highly customized and timely industrial information.”

Subscribers to EZSelect.com will be able to generate custom lists using sixteen different criteria, including area or zip code, county, SIC, sales volume, number of employees, and more. Each company profile contains up to thirty facts, including physical and mailing address, map/driving directions, phone, web, email, number of employees, annual sales, and primary and secondary SICs/NAICS. In addition, each profile includes a list of executives, with the option to export their key contact data to an address book. Comprehensive parent company information is included, along with recent news updates on the selected establishment. Up to 10,000 profiles may be exported at a time for use in CRM software, spreadsheets, and word processing applications.

EZSelect.com’s industrial data subscription service is priced on a state-by-state basis with a one-year subscription cost ranging from $80 to $549, depending on the state and database size. Currently, MNI is offering a free 30-day trial subscription to the industrial database. Visit www.ezselect.com for more information.
