Intuitive data and an online community provide personal experiences
for users BOISE, Idaho, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Tinkn.com has
contracted with Acxiom(R) Corporation, a global leader in
interactive marketing services (NASDAQ:ACXM), for data to power
Tinkn's web-based business directory that enables users to
instantly find professional and personal services rated by a
community of users. Tinkn.com will utilize Acxiom's data to give
users throughout the United States access to listings of local
services, enhanced with personal experiences of other users. The
site features a business rating system that assigns scores based on
feedback and the number of reviews. According to Tinkn.com
co-founder Kristin Hartshaffer, this hyper-local rating system
helps the best businesses stand out as users search for services in
their neighborhoods. Though the site lists professional services
such as attorneys and accountants, its primary focus on personal
services such as daycares and nursing homes makes it unique among
online directories. "Relationships are at the heart of our
business, so we couldn't have chosen a better partner," Hartshaffer
says. "Acxiom's data is superb, but it's their commitment to
forming mutually beneficial, long-lasting relationships that sets
them apart." The intelligence behind Tinkn.com is Acxiom's
InfoBase-X(R) Telephone Directories - a product that offers the
industry's most complete coverage and up-to-date listings. This
solution is valuable to Tinkn.com because of its versatility - the
same data that populates the directory can also be used to market
the site to prospective advertisers. "We offered Tinkn the type of
data and flexible terms they needed," says Lisa Leslie, Acxiom
sales executive. "For a growing business, we're adaptable. Not only
do we support some of the world's largest corporations, but we also
meet the needs of small businesses." Tinkn.com was born out of
necessity - cofounders Kristin Hartshaffer and Sean Hartshaffer had
difficulties finding quality daycare for their children,
veterinarians for their pets and a long-term care facility for a
parent with Alzheimer's. After searching numerous online sites and
finally relying on the recommendations of friends, they decided
there had to be a better way. "Our number one goal is helping
others make informed decisions about the personal services that
affect their lives," Kristin says. "Our partnership with Acxiom now
enables us to achieve this. Their excellence in data integrity,
coupled with their commitment to building the relationship, made it
an easy decision for us." About Tinkn.com Tinkn.com's mission is to
provide an online medium where users can instantly find the best
services in their area and help businesses that strive to be the
