Cleanse your existing address data to reduce missed opportunities and returned mail
Returned mail is a regular reminder that address records are never perfect. Yet the returns we see are only the tip of the iceberg: with consumer data degrading by 13% and business data by 37% on average every year, it’s a problem that’s not going to go away in a hurry.

We started using Postcode Anywhere’s data cleansing services a year or so ago, and now have a robust and accurate contact list. We have successfully re-engaged with ex-supporters, including donors and members, enabling us to regain around £10,000. More importantly, it has allowed us to re-open dialogue with a significant amount of members with lapsed memberships.
Address data gets worse over time
Missed opportunities are lost along with the mail that’s never seen. However, cleaner address data means more people will end up reading your mail-outs – and you won’t be wasting your budget on materials that never reach their target.
The Postcode Anywhere way
Traditional cleansing and matching techniques approach data cleansing from one of 2 angles: Sophisticated rule based systems and those that use general purpose fuzzy matching algorithms.
Postcode Anywhere is taking a new approach. By using a complex mathematical model to analyse how addresses are structured the system is much smarter at identifying what an address should be, rather than what’s actually provided.
Cleanse against a range of datasets
Address Cleansing from Postcode Anywhere cross-references your contact records against a choice of recognised datasets to put it in order again. Direct marketing response rates improve and fewer people are irritated or offended by the incorrectly addressed mail.
