Improve Mail Deliverability with National Change of Address (NCOA) Services

Keeping your customer and donor lists up to date is essential for cost-effective and successful direct mail campaigns. Bresser’s National Change of Address (NCOA) processing helps you reduce undeliverable mail, lower postage costs, and maintain accurate records—all while improving your engagement rates.

Why NCOA Processing Is Essential for Your Mailing Lists

Every year, millions of Americans move, causing a ripple effect on businesses and nonprofits that rely on direct mail. Without an accurate, up-to-date mailing list, your marketing materials, invoices, and donor outreach could be going to outdated addresses—leading to wasted postage and lost communication.

With NCOA services, your mailing list is matched against the USPS® database of address changes from the past 48 months, ensuring you send mail to the right recipients at their current address.

  • Reduce undeliverable mail and avoid postage waste
  • Improve marketing response rates with accurate data
  • Lower returned mail costs by reaching the right audience
  • Stay compliant with USPS address accuracy requirements
  • Enhance customer and donor retention by maintaining communication

How Bresser’s NCOA Services Work

Our NCOA processing system makes updating your customer or donor files easy:

  1. We analyze your existing database to identify outdated addresses.
  2. Your list is compared against the USPS® NCOA database, which tracks address changes from the past 48 months.
  3. We provide a detailed report with corrected addresses and flagged records that require additional review.
  4. Your updated mailing list is returned to you, ensuring your next campaign reaches the right audience.

? Pro Tip: Once you receive the updated list, be sure to update your internal database with the corrected addresses. This will keep your records accurate for future mailings and prevent unnecessary returned mail.
