They can tap into lists from major compilers, like Donnelley Marketing of Stamford, Conn., whose data base details the buying habits of 80 million households, or into various computerized systems that identify neighborhoods by consumer behavior. They might pay credit agencies like TRW of Cleveland and Equifax Inc. of Atlanta to draw up sophisticated demographic models, consumer profiles and potential customer lists. A thorough computer sorting of all these...
