CITY DIRECTORY USES

1. SALES PROMOTION:

a. Sales Analysis-

Comparing present amount of business obtained in a given area with possible maximum business in that area. The Householders' Directory shows the classes of business located on a street, in office buildings, in sections of the city, etc. In checking up salesmen's calls on business in an assigned territory the directory presents a picture of how many places have not been reported upon, and shows a ready list of prospects for your goods or service.

b. Leads-

Determining parts of city best suited for increasing business. The alphabetical listing for each business and professional concern, shows the names of the owners, partners or officers.

c. Selected districts ---

Determining parts of city best suited for increasing business. The Householders' Street Directory shows the exact type of business or residences along each street of the city-and shows if the occupant of the home is the owner.

d. Building mailing lists and direct mail campaigns-

1. List of local people (Neighborhood List) within a given radius of Business location. On a city map, draw a circle to include the ter- ritory you wish to cover in your neighborhood list. From the map you can obtain the name of each street with intersections in the circle you have drawn. In the Householders' Street Directory you will find the correct name of the occupant at each house, or building on these streets. This will give you a 100% list of the territory desired.
