The most important aspect of a successful mailing is the quality and accuracy of the list. We use the following processes to achieve that.
CASS: Coding Accuracy Support System certification is required by USPS to claim automation discounts on presorted mailings. CASS examines an address and appends ZIP+4 if possible. CASS does this by comparing each address to the current National ZIP+4 directory, a table of valid address ranges for every street in the United States.
DPV: Delivery Point Validation, also a USPS requirement, takes CASS a step further by comparing each address to the current National DPV directory, a table of every valid delivery point for every street in the US. Rather than just verifying the address down to the block face, it verifies the address down to the exact delivery point, a much more precise verification.
LACSLink: The USPS LACSLink product updates rural route addresses to street name addresses. The 911 conversions make it easier for police, fire, ambulance, and postal personnel to locate a rural address. LACSLInk also converts addresses when streets are renamed or post office boxes renumbered.
NCOALink: The USPS keeps a database of all those who fill out a Change of Address form when they move. We are licensed to compare mailing lists to this National Change of Address database, which provides us with a list of the matches with the new addresses.
Duplicate Detection: Eliminate embarrassing and costly duplicate records within your mailing list, or between multiple lists, with our advanced address matching capabilities.
We can accept your data in many formats and on a variety of media or via e-mail. Please check with our mailing specialists before sending your data to ensure your project will be processed with no unnecessary delays.
