NCOA Processing Case Study – Animal Welfare Organization

Case study: Animal Welfare Organization

A medium size animal welfare organization needed to update addresses in their database prior to a seasonal mailing and had not updated with NCOA or performed any data hygiene for several months. With TrueNCOA they were able to identify invalid addresses on their file, standardize and update addresses for moves within the last 48 months, and improve delivery and response rates, all for our flat rate of $20 including 95 days of free updates.

The organization processed their file for free and within minutes received our complimentary TrueNCOA report indicating they had more than 7,000 move records on a file of approximately 50,000. In addition, it identified almost 3,000 non-deliverable records on the file for an estimated potential postage savings of over $4,000.

We also notify all TrueNCOA users when we discover deceased records on their NCOA file, indicating that they may want to run a deceased suppression with TrueDeceased. As with TrueNCOA, the organization  was able to process their file for free and view our complimentary TrueDeceased report indicating more than 60 deceased records on their file. The results were immediately available for export for our flat rate of $50 including 6 months of free updates.

Update donor databases

Our quick, inexpensive NCOA processing not only identified huge potential savings on mailing costs and allowed the organizaton to update and standardize addresses in their database, but it also provided them with information such as residential delivery indicators and move types that gave additional insight about their patients and donors to aid in segmentation.
