The Marketing Department wants to send a direct mailing, but certainly doesn’t want to waste money on postage, material, and salaries by sending duplicates, or triplicates, or…..

How many times have you gone to the mailbox, only to find two or more copies of the same catalog, advertising flyer, or circular? Even for the companies you care most about, you end up throwing the duplicates directly into the trash. What a waste! And how can you trust the fulfillment of your vital business purchases to a company that can’t even keep its Customer information organized?

Recent studies have shown that nearly all information lists contain duplicate data, mostly due to variations caused by input error, misspellings, nicknames, abbreviations, and transpositions. The consequence to your business is inaccurate reporting, excess mailing costs, inefficient use of resources, and the potential for damaging the valuable public image your company spends so much money and effort building and maintaining.
