Project ID:

Project Type:
Fixed
Budget:
$30-$250 USD

Project Description:

I am going to be starting a business in the new year, which will be targeting small companies in localised areas throughout the UK. I am going to begin this campaign in my home county of Essex but will enlarge the catchment area to include each county in the UK consecutively.

Initially I will be targeting the beauty industry and need to generate a list of address and contact details for the following business types in Essex: -

Hairdressers
Barbers
Nail beauticians
Tanning salons
Skin Care specialists

The data will need to be supplied in Excel format using a pre-agreed data structure. This data will then be imported into a centralised database and used in future marketing endeavours for the business. The success of this import function will rely totally on the accuracy of the supplied data, so strict format of the data is a must.

Once the initial business model has been established for the beauty industry in Essex, I intend to extend this to other industries and other counties in the near future. Therefore, if the service provided by yourself is of a good standard, there will be further repeat business in the future.

I am not looking to launch my business model immediately so turn around times are not a high priority, accurancy of data formatting and validity of the actual data are more important.

Skills required:

Data Entry, Data Processing, Excel, Web Search

Hi there,

An intelligent way to accomplish this is to program a 'web scraper'. It's basically a computer program that can visit websites on your behalf, surf them, extract information from them and store it as databases. In your situation, a crawler could be used to generate leads from http://www.yellowpages.co.uk and other sites you may be familiar with.

I can build you a web scraper. I have a background in engineering and have built scrapers before. It will save you hours of data entry time and it's something you can use consistently for lead generation.

I'm not able to bid on your project because I've expertise in areas other than what you have specified (so freelancer.com won't allow me to). But if this interests you, please reply to me and we can discuss further.

Regards,
Shridhar

Hi,
I want to work on this 'Business Data Mining' project. As what I understand of the work, I should make 1 Excel file for each beauty business type with heading on its file as Hairdressers, Barbers,Nail Beauticians, Tanning Saloons and Skin Care Specialists. Each file should content columns such as, 1) County Name, 2) Business/Owner's Name(i.e.Name of hairdressers or business name of the hairdressers,etc.), 3) Name of Owner/Manager, 4) Contact Person, 5)Business/Owner's Address, 6)Phone, 7)Email Address, 8)Website(if available) or as many columns that might be added.
In this work my charge is usually $0.10 per line in Excel Spreadsheet format. In this kind of work set-up the arduous part is the web research, the quality of data entered, and the accuracy of the informations as needed by you. I have done this kind of works.I will submit a format if requested.
I'm from the Philippines.

Thanks,
