Accuracy of matching
As part of infoUSA, all of our processing is run on our state-of-the-art platforms. We perform database matching for many companies in the Fortune 500. These companies rely on infoUSA for data processing
and enhancement that requires extremely accurate matching.
The match algorithms used in our Email Append program are the same
ones that are also used for enhancing databases from financial
institutions, insurance companies and marketers that not only have
to answer to their customers, but also have to make sure that
their processing is accurate because of federal legislation.
Some of the most stringent privacy laws impact our financial
and healthcare providers... our programs meet their requirements.
We allow our clients to select Individual Only matching (uses first name,
last name & postal address ) or Individual & Household matching
(if Individual match is not available, a match using last name & postal
address can be selected). We do NOT offer Address Only matching
(matches found with no name components included).
Permission-Based Email Database
All records utilized in Walter Karl Interactive's Append Services are
completely permission-based. We have an extensive review process
that every provider of data must complete. Only after our team
has completely tested the data and reviewed all the relevant
privacy policies is their data brought into our Email Append database.
We can manage multiple passes
Many other providers also use our services. As a result, we have great
relationships within the industry. Our clients are able to leverage
our expertise because we manage multiple passes with our partners.
This will not only result in more matched customer records, but you will
only need to sign one agreement, will only receive one invoice,
and will have only one point of contact. Our process will save you time...
and as the old saying goes, "time is money".
Additional hygiene prior to broadcast of the welcome email
Once all vendors have completed processing, all of the matched records
are returned to us for merge/purge. As part of the merge, we process all
vendors’ matches through our internal suppression database. This will
remove any records (from all vendors) that are undeliverable
or are records that should not receive the welcome email broadcast.
WKI’s internal suppression file contains:
| |
• Bounces – Emails already known to be undeliverable.
• Complainers – Any individual that has complained or pressed
Oany type of automated complaint button is suppressed
Ofrom the matched file.
• Opt-outs – Any individual that has opted-out frpm any prior WKI
OAppend project.
• DMA Do-Not-Email file – Any individual that has registered for the
ODMA's Do-Not-Email registry.
|
By running the file through this additional step, we're able to make sure
that we're only returning the cleanest records possible to our clients.
Dedicated Welcome Email Delivery platform
Our process also includes the broadcast of the welcome email.
Our delivery platform is specifically setup to handle the special requirements of an initial welcome email. By using a dedicated system
for our welcome emails, we're able to achieve the best delivery results
and will make sure that we're able to determine if the appended email
is valid ( i.e., not returned as a bounce ). We're also able to make sure
that recipients are able to view the welcome email and opt-out if they wish.
We can add other demographic selects
We have a consumer database containing information on over 200 million
US Consumers. This database is complete with over 700 variables
that can be added to your customer file to improve your targeting.
You can choose 3 demographic selects and have them appended
to your matched records at no charge.
