Have you been receiving more and more mail pieces back marked as "return to sender" with all your DIRECT MAIL marketing efforts lately?

If so, you're not alone.

And if not, it's a matter of when... not if.

With many budget cuts that have been happening, here's why your costs are ever-increasing...

THE CHALLENGE
In general, mail carriers with intimate route-knowledge can often deliver mail that lack complete address information such as:

• missing apartment and suite numbers;
• minor spelling and addressing errors; and
• changes of address.

However, as the U.S. Postal Service continues to hire a new workforce, there are poorly addressed mail pieces that end up in the hands of a rookie carrier who doesn’t know how to deliver it.

Even experienced mail carriers may work overtime to cover a vacant route and are unfamiliar with those addresses.

Carrier knowledge alone simply can’t be counted on.

So, what can you do to improve the bottom line results of your direct mail campaign?

Increase the volume of deliverable addresses in your mail list. Use a powerful address-correction service that will carefully examine your mail list and identify records for deliverability not just mailability. There is a big difference between the two.

How can this be done?
