Why
should my company consider NCOA?
NCOA
provides
mailers with new addresses for most people who have moved in the
last 36 months. This service is provided by licensees of the United
States Postal Service. NCOA provides CASS certified output, Address
Standardization, Zip+4, Zip Correction, and Carrier Route Coding,
enabling mailers to qualify for postage discounts.
The USPS estimates that nearly 20 percent of American addresses
change annually.
Perhaps
your database of 5000 records needs cleaning, but your marketing
department wants to reach some, rather than none of your customers
and prospects, so you continue to mail to this list.
Heres
the scoop:
- Average
cost per piece to print a 5 color postcard: .25
- Average
cost for postage to mail a 5 color postcard: .19
- Total
cost per piece to mail 5000 postcards
.44
- Average
of 20% of those will not be received
1000
- Total
cost of poor list hygiene $440.00
The
experienced computer technicians at The Mailworks will NCOA this list for as little as $75.00.
In order to minimize the impact of the proposed postal rate
increase, this may be the best time to take advantage of this service.
