Direct mail might be the most efficient way to reach out to your target audience. But not if you are using a duplicate mail list for brand promotion. The quality of your data also determines the performance of your marketing campaigns. At Homeowners Marketing Services, we provide deduplicated lists for all our clients, so that your marketing efforts do not go to waste. With our direct mail list, you can achieve higher ROI on your marketing campaigns.
Why Dirty Data Costs You More Than You Think
Direct mail marketing requires a lot of capital, which means companies need to allocate a certain portion of their budget to Direct mail marketing. Now, let us assume half of your leads are duplicates or inaccurate. This can be detrimental for your marketing efforts, not to mention the amount of money that will go to waste due to poor-quality leads.
- Duplicate records mean you’re paying twice to reach the same person.
- Undeliverable addresses result in returned mail and wasted postage.
- Stale data sends your message to people who’ve moved, changed jobs, or refinanced long ago.
What Is List Deduplication?
As mentioned earlier, duplicate Direct mail leads can be counterproductive for your company’s brand promotion. The process of deduplicating refers to identifying duplicate leads and getting rid of them so you can get the most out of your marketing campaigns. This way, you won’t end up wasting your time and money targeting the same leads multiple times.
- The same name at the same address more than once
- Slight variations of a name (e.g., “John Smith” and “J. Smith”)
- Duplicate addresses with different occupants listed
- Overlapping lists from multiple sources
What Is a Clean Mailing List?
A clean mailing list is a list that doesn’t consist of any duplicate, inaccurate, or outdated consumer information. At Homeowners Marketing Services, we possess decades of experience in delivering accurate and reliable Direct mail lists for all our clients. Our team of experts thoroughly checks the lists before handing them over to our clients. We perform multiple checks to ensure the accuracy of our new homeowners’ mailing list.
- Updated frequently (weekly, in the HMS case)
- Verified against real-time address change databases
- Accurate in formatting, names, and geographic targeting
- Custom-filtered to suit your campaign goals (e.g., homeowners in specific ZIP codes)
How Clean, Deduplicated Lists Save You Money
As mentioned earlier, duplicate leads can result in wastage of money since you will be targeting the same leads multiple times. However, with the help of an accurate Direct mail list, you are getting your money’s worth. With the help of our Direct mail list, businesses can reach out to their target audience, increasing their conversion rate. Direct mail lists can also help in brand promotion, especially when they consist of verified information.
● Lower Printing and Postage Costs
By getting rid of duplicate leads in your direct mail lists, you also reduce the overall cost of printing and postage, which can significantly reduce your overall expenditure for your marketing campaign, saving both time and money.
● Higher Response Rates
With an accurate direct mail list, you will experience a higher response rate since you are reaching out to your target audience who are interested in your products and services. However, if you are using a list that consists of duplicate leads and incorrect consumer information, then you might not get the same results.
● Better Brand Reputation
Marketing campaigns are meant for brand promotion. However, if you are using duplicate and incorrect Direct mail leads, then that can seriously hamper the reputation of your brand. Therefore, we would suggest that you buy your Direct mail leads from Homeowners Marketing Services to improve your brand image.
