Our Merge/Purge systems are proven to be superior in finding more true duplicates and optimizing match potential. Whether your customers have duplicates on their database alone, or would like to merge together separate files, we can find and keep only the best record. This provides them with the most deliverable database records, saving them time and conserving their budget.
In simple terms, we combine one or more files into a single database, then eliminate any duplicates. As time goes by, your database becomes less and less effective because it accumulates more and more mistakes. Duplicate information can creep into a file, and data entry errors can produce undeliverable records. Add other lists to your database, the problems that can occur skyrocket. infoUSA has developed merge/purge systems specifically designed to correct these problems - and save you money. Our systems link records despite variations in character transpositions, abbreviations, and other common data entry errors. Head-to-head tests have proven infoUSA merge/purge systems can find and match more true duplicates than most duplicate identification programs. Often, this number is 3-5% higher than other systems - and that means big savings for you. Name & Address Integrity Services Our Name & Address Integrity Services are valuable services that allow your customers to efficiently sort their file into the sequence required to qualify for postal discounts. More importantly, our services get their mailings to customers and prospects as quickly and efficiently as possible. Choose from the following options: · National Change of Address (NCOA) Processing The National Change of Address (NCOA) file is a database of 120 million records of people and organizations that have moved from one place to another during the past 36 months. This database is compiled and maintained by the United States Post Office from change of address cards. It includes the old “moved from” address and the new “moved to” address. We’ll match your database against the NCOA file, and for every match found, update the addresses so you can get your mailing to customers or prospects who have moved. The NCOA Nixie option gives you valuable information about near matches to the NCOA file (possible moves), which lets you decide on whether the questionable record is worth mailing. In all, NCOA Processing will save you money by reducing undeliverables and providing quick and accurate address correction, standardization and ZIP+4 coding at no extra charge. · Delivery Sequence File (DSF) Processing Correct and improve your addresses! The Delivery Sequence File (DSF) is a database of 140 million records representing every valid delivery point in the U.S. DSF can put more of your mailing pieces on target, and help you qualify for higher postage discounts. In fact, DSF is a one-stop source of postal data needed for discounts: it can assign ZIP+4 and carrier route codes, organize the file for walk sequence discounts, and standardize addresses. DSF gets more of your mail delivered and saves you money! You can count on DSF Processing to correct inaccurate addresses, eliminate seasonal addresses that aren’t occupied, and purge undeliverable addresses from your file. That means more of your mail will be delivered, which could easily translate into more sales! · Locatable Address Conversion System (LACS) Processing Locatable Address Conversion System (LACS) Processing helps to make sure your database is as deliverable as possible - which can boost profits! Communities that use emergency “911” numbers have had to eliminate all rural route boxes in favor of actual street addresses. This has significantly changed all of the surrounding addresses - and made many of the rural addresses on your file undeliverable! The LACS file is a listing of these changed addresses. By matching the LACS file against your database, you can correct your addresses and get a higher delivery rate. Analytical Modeling Services

Because they need so many things to get their business off the ground… and they haven’t established relationships with vendors. This list is perfect for any of your customers that sell basic business products or services. At A GlanceSelling to new businesses is like hitting the jackpot! New businesses are ready to spend money fast and they aren’t locked in a relationship yet. If you can reach them before your competition does, bingo! Then as their business grows, so will yours. Considering the long-term value of one customer, these new business names are priceless. We publish records just two to five weeks after the filing date, often before a business is even open. If the company phone is not yet installed, we research the president/owner’s home phone, so either way you can contact the key decision-maker. With over 120,000 new businesses starting up EVERY MONTH, you’ll never run out of prospects. There are hundreds of opportunities for winning their business. How Do We Compile New Businesses? Our network of data collectors identify new business formations all across the country. We get new incorporations from over 340 sources including; the Secretary of State’s office, trade names and “DBA’s” (doing business as) filed at the county or city level and new business license registrations. We receive new listings weekly, enter them into our computers and double-check them for accuracy. Plus, we remove listings with only the address of the filing attorney and weed out companies that have been in business for a long time but are re-filing due to local requirements. Next we use directory assistance to get the phone numbers of the new business, and then call every one! We verify the name and address information, confirm the owner’s name and find out the line of business. This telephone-verification process dramatically improves the quality and responsiveness of your customer’s list. |
