Ever checked the validity of your database?

Image
Here we are talking about how many valid data do you have, and not literally the validity. It would be surprising to learn how many invalid email addresses you collect via web forms and other self-reported collection points. While working on one of the projects for our clients, we ran a small observation. The request was for an email reverse append for the client who wanted to obtain the name and postal address for emails they had acquired. Our appending team had put in their full effort in collating the details of the list. However, by the end of the completion of this report, we were a little disheartened at the result. We were just able to append the requested information to about 19% of the file. Initially we though our team had not given their best shot and decided to have a keen run through, but there was nothing more to add. Later we found that a huge number of bogus or invalid email addresses had made into these sign up forms. If this client had not come to us or any...

Have you Tested and Validated your data

Image
Many businesses fail to test their data before and after the data vendor has added, appended or updated it. The ideal approach should be that once the data is cleansed and you have zeroed in on a vendor, run a test. Select a random sample of 5,000 records and ask the vendor to run them through the data append process to append the elements you want. This test will let you get an idea on how good the match rate will be for your full file. Matching will never be at 100 percent, but the test can let you know if the rate will be enough to produce a useful file in the 60 to 80 percent range. And, because not all data elements are likely to be appended to all records, you will be able to determine how much coverage you will get of the data elements you want the most. European Lists provides a Free Trial test to show the accuracy rate, the turnaround time, the details of the data and the support we can provide in helping you interpret the results. You should ideally validate the re...

When it comes to data appending , then choosing your data vendor plays a major role. There are hundreds of names which are into data services. All you have to do is filter them through to select the right one for you. Data vendors with relatively poor name in the industry will make you end up with bounced mails and spam mails too. There are many firms that offer demographics, psychographics and lifestyle profile data. If you do not have time to research all of them, your data vendor or service bureau is likely to have a data expert who can recommend the right source for your purposes. When it comes to data you cannot calculate every penny invested. Quality has a price and if you are getting something at a much cheaper price, make sure you check the quality either by requesting a quote or ordering a list. If the purposes for which you are enhancing your file include mailings, models and new customer acquisition, consider that you will soon spend more on postage to mail one custo...
