Welcome!
Today most companies work with multiple marketing channels which creates problems in how the data is organized. There may be multiple file layouts or some sources missing addressing information. Some information volunteered by prospects may not be accurate or complete.
Sales reps often add notes in fields that are not designated for notes, such as adding nick names to the first name field or fitting extraneous data into the record where it causes problems such as “Wife Denise is a Bitch” in the Address 2 field which will be printed on the mail piece. (Yes, it happens.)
Different data sources may organize the data differently than others, such as putting the last name field first which causes a problem when it goes into another file where the first name field is first. Or putting the middle initial in either the first or last name fields, having a mix of address lines a mix of zip codes or missing zip codes, etc.
Phone dialers want the phone number as just 10 numbers, without spaces or extraneous data. Thus (802) 684-1179 is a phone number but it needs to look like 8026841179 to be useable. The extra data and the space between the area code and number causes problems with the dialer.
Forbes reported that Gartner, Inc. is the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company estimates that between $9,000,000 to over $14,000,000 are lost each year due to bad data. Reduce your losses due to bad data and increase your bottom line.
Is Dirty Data losing you money?
Why clean data is important to you and your company:
- Mailing to people who have moved or died is a major waste of resources.
- Calling bad numbers not only wastes time but deflates your sales team; “kills the room.”
- Making marketing decisions on inaccurate data results in reaching wrong conclusions.
- Data errors mean less profit and make you less competitive.
- Save money by utilizing older data that is now updated and accurate.
