How to use customs data to find customers' accurate emails? This is the most frequently asked question by foreign traders who have used customs data.

The raw data of customs data mainly includes the import and export customs declaration or bill of lading of the enterprise. I believe those with practical experience in foreign trade declaration are well aware that the customer contact information in the document is optional and also belongs to personal privacy information. So most people don't fill in their contact information, they only fill in the company name and transaction information.

Therefore, those who fantasize about buying billions of buyer contact information after buying customs data can only say that you are still too young!

Since that's the case, why do we still need to spend money to buy customs data?

Firstly, it is important to understand the main role of customs data?

Firstly, analyze buyer habits to facilitate order closing.

Secondly, analyze the purchasing trend and take the initiative to clinch transactions.

Thirdly, analyze the global supply chain to enhance enterprise competitiveness. Customs data is always primarily analyzed and monitored, based on which potential customers can be discovered! To put it bluntly, customs data is just an auxiliary tool, whether it is useful or not depends on the person using it! So, what is the correct approach to using customs data?

A concise summary is to quickly find a potential customer base with demand, and select a group of customer groups that are suitable for one's own factory (such as supply quantity, supply cycle speed, product quality, price, etc.) through customer procurement records such as purchase quantity, price, date, and country of origin. Then, through search engines, LinkedIn Facebook and other combination methods are targeted to identify the contact information of key customer groups (prioritizing the company's boss and procurement department, followed by the official website and sales department), and finally carry out effective follow-up and promotion to achieve the goal of order completion.

How to mine accurate customer emails through customs data? As is well known, the original customs clearance bill of lading data only contained the customer's company name and address, and there were basically no contact persons or email addresses.

To find key people and precise contact information, we also need to use other auxiliary tools such as search engines and social media.

Finally, I also remind everyone that any application development channel cannot be achieved overnight, and scientific methods should be emphasized. Just like Alibaba International Station, some foreign trade enterprises operate like fish in water, while others cannot complete a single order for several months. This is also true for customs data. It is necessary to sink your heart and explore a set of application strategies suitable for your own products.
