FAQ’s

Do you offer email delivery?

Sci7 does not offer email delivery for clients.
We find that the majority of our customers prefer to send emails themselves allowing them to independently assess the performance of our products and to use their existing systems for message preparation and tracking. For customers requiring a delivery service we can make recommendations of suitable third parties. If clients require advice on setting up their own systems for the sending, tracking and managing of email Sci7 is able to provide that service.

Can we have a discount?

Customers committing to a significant level of purchasing over a period of time, and those requiring lists for multiple use may be eligible for discounts.

Are your emails validated?

Yes. All emails are validated before supply to ensure, as far as is practicable, that all contact details supplied are functional at the time of supply.

Do you hold job titles for your contacts?

No. We are able to selectively supply senior individuals eg. Director, Professor, CEO, CSO, CTO etc. Our selection processes are generally much finer than is possible using job titles.

Can you supply a sample?

Yes. We can supply samples in a range of formats depending on your requirements.

Can you supply your product as a .csv, Excel, .tsv, or XML file.

Yes. We will provide you with our product in any format you require, including custom formats specified by clients.

The service is designed to enable the effectiveness of different versions of webpages to be objectively measured. It can be used in conjunction with Adwords’ conversion (return on investment) tracking information to improve Adwords landing pages.

Google has made easily accessible to small an medium sized businesses a level of user-interaction testing that has previously typically only been carried out by larger organisations.

The service requires that page elements under test are brought into the pager using javascript, which means their content will generally not be spidered by the search engines. This makes it inadvisable to use the new service on pages which rely on organic search engine positioning for their traffic.

As this is a page orientated service the effectiveness of site wide changes such as the alterations to headers or positioning of adverts in templates cannot be monitored using this system.

Google’s information on the service can be found:

The 2007 report is available here. Again some PDF previews are available:

• Global Biotech the end of innocence

Four short sections from the 2006 report have been made available online as downloadble PDF files:

• Biotech Industry Overview and 2005 Year in Review (pdf, 210kb)
• Americas Biotech: Strength and Stability (pdf, 198kb)
• European Biotech: Back on Track (pdf, 200kb)
• Asia-Pacific Biotech: Emerging Focus (pdf, 163kb)

The major events in the year according to the report, included India’s enactment of their patents act (See this briefing paper from “Health Gap”), and the legislative developments in China which have relaxed the restrictions on investment from foreign companies, leading to takeovers and mergers. Bioethanol, market penetration of GM crops, and of course avian influenza are also considered significant. The long term future of the Biotechnology industry - if it is going to continue to exist as a distinct sector or be swallowed up into the large pharmaceutical organisations - is debated.

The emergence of Asia / Pacific both as a customer for the products produced by the large western pharmaceutical companies, and as a source of new innovative biotechnology and bioinformatic companies is discussed.

The full report can be obtained, for free in the USA, and for a charge in Europe directly from Ernst and Young, via their online order form for Beyond Borders.

Typical recent client profiles:

• Companies selling disease/gene specific products eg. Antibodies and ELISA kits.
• Life science community websites.
• Conference organisers.
• Technical equipment manufacturers selling to bio-scientists.
• Clinical research organisations, and others offering outsourced research/development/manufacturing.
• New start-ups announcing their presence to those active in relevant fields.

Sci7 is able to increase sales while reducing the amount spent on advertising as costly print and telephone promotions can be replaced by email and internet campaigns. Repetitive laborious work trawling through the internet, journals and other sources for marketing leads can be avoided, enabling sales and marketing staff to “work smarter”.

Sci7’s comprehensive database of active scientists - academics, industrial and government personnel which can be queried in a highly specific manner by experienced bio scientists enables highly specific lists of potential leads to be offered. Sci7 has experience interacting with the publication, grant, clinical trials, patent, and bioinformatic databases for the purpose of extracting commercially valuable information. Information products may be lists of potential leads, fresh content for optimising your company’s website and generating more sales via that route, or data of a more scientific/technical nature.

If you want to improve the way you get in touch with pharmaceutical, life science and medical professionals then take a look at Sci7’s targeted life science marketing web pages and get in touch.

Sci7 is able to assist in all aspects of search optimisation, opening up deep content on your site, improving URL structure and using Sci7’s data products to provide fresh relevant content on the site.

Frequently Asked Questions on Sci7’s Life Science Marketing Email Lists

The researchers were working in collaboration with Dogpile.com, another meta-search engine which provided them with some of the query terms used in the work.

While Sci7 agrees that with results of this research in so far as meta-search engines are nesscessary, there is a problem with the existing public services, in that in order to obtain feeds from the major search engines they have to licence the data at significant cost. To support this, many run adverts, often, as in the case of Dogpile, they add the advertising links directly into the search results.

One way around this problem is to run the search aggregation software on your own computer - Apple users will be familiar with “Sherlock”, an application which searches a wide variety of popular and specialised search engines. In a business setting - a web-based meta search engine on an intranet site can provide the ideal “meta-search”, such a search facility can also be customised to reflect a particular business’ requirements. Examples of customisations include searching internal company information, as well as adjusting the weightings applied to particular specialised searches.

Opensearch - from a9.com is emerging as one standard for integrating search results from various sources, and it has a head start on Google’s GData which could well emerge as the winner, even though it has broader applications and is not intended primarily for this application.

There are two open source projects which may provide a useful base for implementing a personal or business meta-search application.

• Magellan - Written in perl, includes change alerts.
• Helios - fast, written in C
