Optimize Your Marketing Lists with Professional Data Hygiene

Accurate and up-to-date marketing lists are essential for successful campaigns. At Bresser’s, our Data Hygiene Services go beyond the basics to ensure your lists are clean, deliverable, and optimized for impactful marketing efforts. A clean list saves time, reduces costs, and helps you build stronger connections with your audience.

Why Data Hygiene Matters for Marketing Campaigns

Bad data is more than a minor inconvenience—it can significantly impact your bottom line. Inaccurate or outdated data leads to undelivered mail, missed opportunities, and wasted resources. By investing in data hygiene, you ensure that your marketing lists are:

  • Deliverable: Verified addresses increase delivery rates and reduce returned mail.
  • Accurate: Avoid wasted resources by targeting the right audience.
  • Efficient: Suppress duplicates and refine targeting to reduce postage and printing costs.
  • Compliant: Maintain compliance with USPS standards and industry best practices.

Whether you’re launching a new campaign or refreshing your old lists, clean data is the cornerstone of a successful direct mail strategy.

Key Components of Our Data Hygiene Services

Delivery Point Validation (DPV)

Delivery Point Validation is the first step in ensuring your mail reaches its intended recipient. Our DPV service cross-checks your addresses against USPS records to confirm accuracy and deliverability. This not only improves delivery rates but also minimizes wasted postage on undeliverable addresses.

Duplicate Listing Removal

Duplicate records can inflate your costs and frustrate recipients who receive multiple mail pieces. Our sophisticated duplication elimination process identifies and removes:

  • Redundant records for the same name and address.
  • Multiple entries for households, allowing only one mail piece per last name at an address.
  • Exact matches for names and addresses to streamline your list.

By reducing duplicates, you’ll save money while enhancing the professionalism of your campaigns.

Deceased Suppression

Sending mail to deceased individuals can be upsetting for families and damaging to your brand. Our deceased suppression services identify and remove records of deceased individuals, ensuring your mailing lists are both accurate and respectful.

National Change of Address (NCOA) Processing

People move frequently, and outdated addresses can lead to wasted mailings. Our NCOA processing service uses a 48-month look-back period to update your lists with the latest address changes. By staying current, you ensure your messages reach their intended audience and avoid unnecessary costs.

List Merging and Prioritization

If you’re managing multiple lists, we can help you consolidate them into a single, cohesive file. Using client-defined priorities, we’ll merge and clean your lists, ensuring that critical records are preserved while duplicates and errors are eliminated.

Marketing File Revival

Over time, old marketing files can become outdated or unusable. Don’t let your valuable data go to waste—our marketing file revival service cleans and updates your old files, making them campaign-ready once again.

Prepping Files for List Augmentation

Want to find new prospects that mirror your current audience? Our data hygiene services prepare your files for augmentation, helping you build highly targeted lists of like prospects. This ensures your campaigns are both efficient and effective.

Pro Tips for Successful Data Hygiene

  • Pro Tip 1: Run NCOA updates at least twice a year to maintain list accuracy.
  • Pro Tip 2: Regularly clean your lists to minimize data decay and improve campaign performance.
  • Pro Tip 3: Use deceased suppression tools to avoid mailing to individuals who are no longer living.
  • Pro Tip 4: Validate your file format before submitting it for processing to prevent errors and delays.
  • Pro Tip 5: Consolidate lists early to eliminate redundancies and ensure consistency across all campaigns.

By following these tips, you’ll maximize the value of your data and improve the ROI of your marketing efforts.
