Frequently Asked Questions (Original)

How does Profile Ninja Work?

Profile Ninja employs the best consumer segmentation and data modeling systems in North America, as well as deterministic data from thousands of datasets, proprietary algorithms search, to rank and score tens of thousands of data variables in real-time.  We assemble this data to help you understand your customers and prospects better, find more of them and market to them more effectively.  Other than that, we can’t tell you much more.

What's included in a Profile?

Lots.  Everything from insights on Income, Net Worth, household composition, Education, employment and other demographic data.  We even include what are called ‘behaviors’ like hobbies, interests, where people shot, dine, what they watch, read and listen too.

What does Profile Ninja cost?

There are a few parts to our pricing model:

  1. The CPM (Cost per thousand) which is the cost for each profile or append per thousand.   We employ a credit system to facilitate à la carte data selection with some products. A profile costs 10 credits which is equivalent to 1 US dollar ($1.00).  When you buy credits in bulk the CPM begins to decrease.  And credits never expire. You can log in and use them any time you need them.
  2. Monthly Fee (Dōjō) – We charge a monthly fee of $6.99 to for permanent access to your Dōjō which is your dashboard.  Your dashboard includes an archive of all your customer profiles, PDF downloads, mapping tools, and other administration features.  The mapping service is a great value add because it helps you understand where you customers live and how they cluster in neighborhoods.  Comparable mapping services charge $9.99 per month for mapping alone and limit customer counts.  We don’t.   Your fee will also include access to new tools and features as we add them.
  3. Monthly Fee (ChimpSync™) – Ongoing use of our Mailchimp integration is $9.99 per month.  This gets you real-time and automated data appends to every new contact you add to your Mailchimp audiences.  As you add new audiences you’ll be able sync and append data to that audience too.  This also includes access to a new reverse append feature coming soon.  When you don’t have full address of a contact we will use information you do have to find it.  Once we do, we can append data to that contact in real time too.
