Data Processing Services
 A.
Cass Certification
Controls postage costs by correcting and standardizing your database
for bar-coding. By adding zip +4 and carrier route codes, as well as
pre-sorting the list you're mailing, Coastal will meet USPS
regulations and qualify you for substantial discounts.
B.
Database Management
When you provide us with your customer list, we will import,
merge/purge (also called de-duping) names, CASS certify, and do
whatever it takes to make it ready for use. You can send
us additions, deletions, or changes and we will keep your list
up-to-date.
C. Mailing list
Often more important than the mailing piece itself, the most crucial
yardstick in determining your success is the mailing list. Our lists
are meticulously maintained to insure you the highest rate of
deliverability, consistency, accuracy, and maximum response.
We have access to virtually any specialty list you
wish. If it exists, we will find it. Additionally, you enjoy an increased
target market by supplementing your personal list with our in-house
lists.
D. National Change of Address (NCOA)
Coastal Mailing completes NCOA services in-house to verify and
update addresses prior to your mailing campaign. As and
additional benefit NCOA will retrieve addresses, of your clients as
far back as 3 years, thus preventing the loss of valuable client
information. The
Post Office returns all mail after 1 year without updated addresses
(usually marked forwarding order expired). Saves printing and
postage fees and reduces returned mail.
E.
Laser mail merge letters
Personalized letters elicit a higher response than ones addressed to
“resident” or “homeowner”. For multiple pieces of mail, we will
produce “matched mailings”. Matched mailings “match” the letter to
the envelope and can put almost any information you wish on each
page. We then process the job by inserting other pieces such as
flyers and reply envelopes, then sealing, sorting, and delivering
your mail to the Regional Post Office.
F. Media Conversion
CMI will work with - ASCII or other data formats. We can receive
data by
email, floppy disk, 100 or 250 zip disks, CD’s, or you may
post data on our FTP website.
G. Data Entry
You’ve been asking customers to fill out cards for years and they’re
all stuffed in a box. Yes, it is a treasure trove! Allow us to
create a viable database for you. And if you have an existing list,
we will add to it and increase your target area. It’s as simple as
emailing us your list or transferring to a disk and
mailing/delivering it.
H. Marketing Analysis and Surveys
Coastal has conducted surveys for the government, schools, cities,
and other entities. We design, print, and mail the outgoing survey
and tabulate the returns. Then we produce reports by reading both
sides of the survey at once with our double-sided scanners. We
work with election departments to design, produce and mail ballots.
We conduct California State "Prop 218" elections and tabulate the results
for local governmental agencies.
