You can reduce the amount of unsolicited mail sent to your business by removing your business information from two business marketing lists: Dun & Bradstreet and InfoUSA. Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) maintains the largest company database worldwide, collecting information on more than 70 million business establishments from 217 countries. Up to 1,500 data items are collected on each business. Busi- nesses can either use D&B’s database services to develop their own direct-mail lists or purchase lists directly from D&B. A business may have its information removed from busi- ness marketing lists published by D&B. An authorized rep- resentative of the business can request the "delisting" proc- ess orally or in writing, resulting in its removal from marketing directories, publications and/or mailing lists. To have your business delisted, call D&B’s customer service center at 1-800- 333-0505 or send an email to custserv@dnb.com. InfoUSA maintains information on more than 12 million businesses in the U.S. To remove your business from their lists, fax a letter to 402-331-0176. The letter should say on the top: "Attention—Business Update Department." The letter should include the complete business name, address, and phone number; the name and title of the person re- questing the deletion; and that person's signature. You can also send this letter by regular mail to Info USA, P.O. Box 27347, Omaha, NE, 68127.
