Mail postal address file (PAF) and give you a report on its accuracy
- without any charge.
Out of date data costs a fortune to mail. NO
PROBLEM. Just send the data file to us and we will provide a totally
FREE
Data Health Check report. Whatever the size of your current address
database, we can check the address quality and provide you with
an accurate quality assessment - without any charge! Total confidentiality

Your
FREE, no-obligation Data Health Check will include:
1.
An accurate count of the number of addresses that need updating
or correcting, due to miss-spellings, missing address elements or
out of date addresses, using Royal Mail PAF file.
2. An accurate count of the number of addresses which cannot be
cleaned to the Royal Mail Postal Address File and which are then
undeliverable.
3. An accurate count of the number of matches
that your data has against the very latest Mailing Preference Service
file.
4.
An accurate count of the number of duplicate entries at family and
individual level.
What
then? Should there be a significant amount of problems
with your address file, we can clean it for you at a very reasonable
cost. This includes the following benefits:
1.
Validation of your target addresses to ensure that they are up-to-date,
accurate and genuine.
2.
Addition of missing address elements, such as Postal Town or Post
Code.
3.Correction
of spelling mistakes or keying errors.
4.Standardising
address formatting to Royal Mail standards.
Address databases often contain some inaccuracies.
Addresses entering your database from various sources may be misspelled,
or incorrect, which we can eliminate. Over time, however, changes
in Royal Mail Post Codes, renaming of streets etc. mean that even
address data initially entered correctly can soon become out-of
date. Regularly comparing your addresses against the very latest
Royal Mail Postal Address File available is therefore an essential
part of effective address cleaning and database management.
Deduplication Our deduplication service will remove duplicates
from your list, either at family level (leaving one record per surname,
per address) or right down to individual level (leaving one record,
per person, per address).
Let us say that you already have a database of
20,000 customers and acquire a further 5000 names from another source.
It is very likely that some of your customers will also be on the
second list
It is therefore essential that duplicates in this list are removed
before any mailing. Quite apart from the extra postage, printing
and mailing cost of despatching two or more identical items to the
same address, the (often irrational) anger or irritation at receiving
multiple mailings can easily lose you a customer, (or potential
customer) - for life.
Data cleaning and deduplication is HIGHLY
cost effective. That is why all professional and successful companies
do it!
