Hi All,

This article is a bit old but it is actually very relevant considering the recent postage hike on May 11th.  I thought the perspective from the author deserved some consideration.  A number of your competitors will stop mailing because of the increase.  Now is the time to pounce!

Have a listen,

Above All Else - Identify Your Best Customer!!!

I have written about this idea before but I thought it important to communicate it to everyone in a pod cast.  That idea is the importance of identifying your best customer.  The way you do this is through the use of geography and demographics.  All of your most valuable clients/donors have similar traits.  These traits are what identify are customer.  Once you know what the traits are, you can target them and you should target them HARD!  Have a listen.

N.C.O.A. - The easy way to update your addresses!

Is address integrity one of your concerns?  If so, ask you your list to be run through N.C.O.A. (national change of address) the next time you place a mailing order.  The mailer will take your data and bounce it against the addresses that the post office has on file and correct any outdated record.  It is less expensive than getting a new list especially if you want to keep hitting the same respondents.  Have a listen to how it can help you!
