“Free Steak Dinner Offer”
For many years, Willowbend offered a challenge to companies that if their existing customer data was 95% or more postal deliverable, they would win a free steak dinner up to $500.00 on us. There were no winners! In fact, most companies taking the challenge scored greater than 65% deliverable. There are multiple reasons for customer address data errors stimming from poor data entry and validation tools; and to the fact that the USPS assigns new address schemes, most typically new Zip Codes.
Why is this important? Having bad customer data makes using it as a marketing resource problematic.
The good news is that Willowbend can restore most of the bad address data, and keep the entire database updated and over 98% clean and deliverable.
