Don't underestimate the power of company research. It can give you insight about a company's products/services, culture and what it is seeking in a candidate. Once you have an interview scheduled, dig deeper to gain some details about the company such as key players, products, financials, mergers/acquisitions, news and recent events. This information will provide key background data and give you some strong talking points for your interview.
