2. Individual (energy) data from surveys
Special data from the CASA Monitor survey
PRODUCT
Via the CASA Monitor household online survey, which is conducted several times a year, we constantly generate fresh information on various topics from 10,000 changing households each time. Here you can even integrate your own questions to consumers in Germany about your product, your topic at any time! From the survey data, which is enriched with numerous market and micro data, we develop, among other things, area-wide potentials, segments, clusters and personas and accumulate them into a central CASA Life database (for details see below).
TARGET GROUP
Data from individual surveys is of interest across all industries for all companies that have specific questions for their customers and target groups. Data on energy topics is an important basis for the planning of service providers, network providers or utilities from the energy sector as well as municipalities.
BENEFITS
CASA Monitor generates answers quickly and accurately. The data offers many other options. For example, the geocoded survey data can also be alluded to existing addresses and thus integrated into daily work.
APPLICATIONS
Especially for these questions the data from current (and historical) surveys of households support your:
- product design (design, features, price, etc.),
- marketing optimization (approach, measures, etc.),
- distribution (channel, classification, etc.).
PRODUCT DETAILS
Comprehensive individual data
The quantitative analysis of the respondents’ answers alone yields interesting insights. We also enrich the answers with an individual geocode, through which they can be precisely localized and linked to numerous other market and micro data. This allows us to learn much more about the respondents, for example about their residential building, living environment, socio-demographics, energy supply, consumer behavior or preferences. Area-wide twin searches can then be used to calculate the potential for each address in Germany.
Formation of segments, clusters and personas
Based on the enriched survey data, we perform segmentations and form clusters with typical characteristics. All clusters can be described precisely thanks to the high level of data diversity. In in-depth interviews with individual representatives of the clusters, we gain additional, very individual knowledge. We can then condense the characters into personas, which can be used very effectively in sales and marketing.
Available among others:
The energy types
In the CASA Monitor Energy, general questions were asked about the attitude and equipment of households with regard to energy consumption in general, as well as specifically about the energy self-sufficiency topics of equipping with solar, electricity storage or mini power plants. The results were applied to the whole of Germany and seven energy clusters were developed by means of segmentation, three of which have a high affinity. The persona TINA was formed as a proxy for the most relevant group.
All data from all surveys: CASA Life
In addition to the specific thematic data from the areas of consumption, mobility, telecommunications or energy, in each CASA Monitor we also ask for general data on household equipment, housing, etc. All data from all surveys are cumulated in the CASA Life database, which is available to our clients. Since we re-survey at least 30% of the previous year’s respondents each year, even time series comparisons can be made.
3. (Energy) micro and market data
PRODUCT
(Energy) Micro and Market Data
The CASA database is one of the most comprehensive micro and market databases in the world with more than 1,500 (!) information on different spatial planning levels up to the address. By using numerous official and private sector data sources as well as innovative methods, the CASA database supports you in your planning with the highest precision. In addition to general information such as purchasing power, population structure and building characteristics (type, height, volume, etc.), the range of available data also includes a wide variety of energy-specific information, e.g.:
- gas availability
- energy consumption
- solar installations and their consumption
- renovation rates and probabilities
- energy affinities (e.g. green electricity)
- broadband availability
…
The geographic base system
At the heart of the CASA database is the innovative Postal-Agency Classification System (PAGS). PAGS contains and aggregates all relevant territorial and geographic data systems and thus creates a nationwide uniform, binding intra-municipal spatial structure based on official data. On this basis, we can provide you with the data at any granularity you require. Available data layers (excerpt):
- municipality
- district
- POSTAL CODE
- settlement block
- address or building
- individual planning structures
TARGET GROUPS
Companies that have an extensive own address stock. Companies that want to study a market and thus the target groups living there in great detail.
APPLICATIONS
Microgeographical market data enable area-wide and comprehensive analyses of potentials, markets and target groups on a free-space level, down to settlement blocks, street sections and buildings. Company address data can be enriched with microgeographic data and the customers or interested parties behind them can thus be described much more diversely and precisely. Microgeographic data always refers to (several) buildings, so it is basically data protection compliant.
4. B2B potentials and company addresses
PRODUCT
b2bselect.de is our online platform for b2b-potentials and company addresses. It contains all the approx. 1.8 million addresses of companies and associations entered in the commercial register – and thus the Who’s Who of the German economy. In addition to company names, postal addresses and industries, the data records also contain the 2.2 million contact persons stored as well as information on contact options and company size.
The special feature: Both the address selection and the potential count function both via the classic target group definition and conveniently via spatial selection in an interactive map. At the same time, the address prices are unbeatably low.
b2bselect.de is a jointly developed product of infas LT (software platform) and infas 360 (data).
TARGET GROUP
Classical users of b2bselect.de are basically companies whose range of services or products is aimed at other companies, i.e. those that belong to the B2B business. And there those companies that want to sound out their potential or carry out concrete sales or marketing measures to generate new customers.
Especially for companies from the energy sector, bulk buyers such as other commercial enterprises are an increasingly important clientele. On b2bselect.de they find the appropriate potentials and addresses. Tip: We can also offer you numerous additional energy-relevant market data for these address data (building sizes, energy requirements, local suppliers, etc.). Just ask us.
APPLICATIONS
With the included company addresses and information as well as the geographic selection options, b2bselect is the perfect tool for
- to find and directly obtain addresses for targeted B2B new customer campaigns, but also for the
- localization of regional new customer potentials.Tip: The latter, by the way, can be easily extracted from the selection counts that run along with it – even without having to buy the addresses in the end or pay a fee. Why not try it out without obligation directly in the portal: b2bselect.de.
