Preparing for Successful VDP
Is it worth spending $100, $200 and $500 to bring in that additional revenue? If the same mailing went to 200,0000 people, the potential revenue would be $80,000. At what point is it worth it to fix the bad addresses that did not make it through CASS/DPV or NCOA? It obviously depends on the size of the job, the value of the response, the nature of repeat orders from the customers, the cost of the piece and the cost of mailing.
