Business Services Industry

Nearly every business in operation needs one or more of the various business services offered by the industry. The roles they play include administrative roles, HR, process monitoring, inventory control, on and off-site security, travel services, workplace maintenance, and recycling/disposal. They can also perform many of these same functions in the residential space, especially now, since working from home has taken on added importance.

In other words, they are the often unseen force that helps the economy run smoothly. The business services sector is composed of companies of all possible sizes, from sole practitioners to global giants. Some fight well above their weight, so none should be taken lightly.

How Big Is The Business Services Industry?

Globally, the business services sector is well entrenched in the U.S. and Europe. The U.S. alone accounts for 17.3% of the world’s business services companies. Future growth is likely to be substantial in the Asia/Pacific and Africa regions as they continue to develop. This puts global providers with well established knowledge bases and operational platforms in a good position to meet emerging needs.

Globally, the professional services industry, has grown rapidly, and is projected to reach more than $8 Trillion by 2022. The IT business services industry is worth more than $1 Trillion.

 Reach Business Services Industries With The Right Data

Partner for Success

Mailinglists.com offers marketers the business services data which enables them to reliably reach this valuable and disparate audience. Our 25 year partnership with Dun & Bradstreet puts the most accurate, comprehensive business database at our clients’ fingertips. World-class resources, including the D&B Data Cloud contribute to the depth and quality of our business services data. The result is a full range of demographic, firmographic and geographic data for businesses of every size.

Quality Data
Popular tools are available for identifying viable business services prospects. Our SIC & NAICS databases list entire industry sectors. Potential prospects for leasing, equipment, and infrastructure can be identified by analyzing UCC filings. These initial steps tend to require selective fine-tuning to be efficient for marketing purposes. Whatever the target audience, marketers need a solid understanding of who they are, what they do, what they need, and perhaps important, who makes their decisions.

Powerful Reach
Mailinglists.com provides the data that reaches executives by title, age, and at home. Many business services require professional accreditation or certification. Take advantage of our databases of licensed professionals to reach them. Data append services help marketers complete their records for past and current customers, and prospects. In many cases sole practitioners are simultaneously CEO, COO, CIO, head of procurement, licensed practitioner, and “staff”. When their day is done, they lead lifestyles that make them open to relevant offers consistent with their personal behaviors and interests. Being able to reach executives at home, away from their challenging work lives (or even as they work from home) is valuable.

Accuracy When It Matters Most

Those low barriers to entry facilitating startups, combined with the existence of vast, global business services providers employing armies of personnel can contribute to a high churn rate among companies and people. Data decay is therefore an issue that must be recognized planning and deploying marketing campaigns. People change jobs. Companies go out of business, making an up to date suppression file a must-have. It is important to stay on top of this reality when budgeting for a wide ranging campaign. To meet the demand for accuracy and freshness, compiled data sources are continuously monitored through our HyperHygiene® process to ensure high levels of deliverability and response.

Business Services Industry Trends

    Business services providers have benefited from the move to outsourcing. In fact, outsourcing itself is considered a business service, as customers entrust entire departmental functions into one end to end solution from an external provider, such as shipping and logistics. This approach can be an attractive option for startups seeking to grow with less investment, or companies in volatile industries who need to keep their operational costs flexible.

    Competition is robust. Barriers to entry are relatively low. Competitors can come from across the street or the other side of the globe. In many cases all that is needed are technicians, software, telecommunications, maintenance equipment, or trucks. The bricks and mortar, the hardware, and disposable waste belong to the customer. Making sure everything works as it must is the role of business services providers.

    Another source of competition for business services providers is often their own customers, who may bring these services in house. This may happen for a variety of reasons, including re-structuring or financial pressures. While the sourcing is internal, the organizational needs are the same.
