| Anyone who has worked with address data knows
how difficult it is to build an accurate database. All data starts with a typist whose
inevitable misspellings, transposed numbers and omissions add up to incorrect address data
that costs you a fortune. And if the 'human' factor isn't bad enough, US addresses change
at the average rate of over 7 million per year. These are not address changes when
someone moves - these are physical changes when the actual address changes. The address
accuracy of your address data - and your ability to stay in touch with customers and
prospects - evaporates with each passing day.
| Wrong Addresses Can Be
Very Costly |
|
According to the USPS, over 30% of all mail is undeliverable as addressed. That means
it's delayed, returned or ends up in the trash. Sound expensive? It's worse than you know.
Beyond the huge cost of the postage, printing, materials and labor that go into every
piece of undeliverable mail, there is the immeasurable cost of lost opportunity.
It gets worse. You won't always know which mail never reached its mark or arrived days
or weeks late. You just keep spending money on addresses that bring you no return.
