Unless they’re regaling you with the details of their recent gall bladder surgery, there is no such thing as “too much information” when it comes to your customers. The more you know about your customers, the more effectively you can segment your data and tailor your offers and messages, which we all know is a formula for marketing success.
The trick is that marketing databases are not a perfect, out-of-the-box product; they’re dynamic and evolving. How do you go about filling in the missing pieces of information? That’s where data appending comes into play. Data appending is a cost-effective way to learn more about your customers and possibly identify new prospects to market to.
Update Old Data & Fill In Missing Information
By matching your house file against consumer and business databases (with millions of current records), data appending allows you to update old data and fill in missing information that is available in those databases but not in your house file.
For example, say you have postal addresses for your customers but no email information. Data appending allows you to find valid email addresses for your customers. The same is true for phone numbers. Data appending can open up new channels to market to your customers with, and give you a synergistic lift in response rates by using a multi-channel marketing approach.
Data appending can also help you learn more about your customers by identifying demographic or firmgrophic attributes. Hundreds of variables are available for business file appends and thousands for consumer appends. Below are just some of the attributes you can potentially learn about your customers through data appending.
