Digital address maintenance for better customer contact

Heine Versand wants up-to-date address information and catalog returns.

Heine sends out over thirty million catalogs per year. The need to ensure that items reach all customers makes address maintenance an important marketing tool, especially since every return leads to unnecessary expenses. PREMIUMADRESS ensures that the company immediately receives up-to-date address information if items are undeliverable. Thanks to the corrected addresses, catalogs can be redelivered promptly. The option for catalogs to be returned is particularly important, especially for the high-value main catalogs.

The solution: Heine uses PREMIUMADRESS Basis and Retoure. With this service, the company receives the electronic address information for undeliverable items and the catalogs are returned.

The mail order company The Whisky Store values error-free, automated data maintenance processes.

The Whisky Store sends out around 210,000 items per annum. As a premium brand, it greatly values comprehensive service and fast and reliable delivery. When it comes to maintaining its address data, the company wants to be very flexible. It is therefore particularly important that every address change can be imported into The Whisky Store's databases quickly and with minimal technical effort.

In the past, addresses were copied from correction cards which then had to be destroyed in a cumbersome process. Today, the mail order company transfers the addresses, which have been updated with PREMIUMADRESS, free of errors into its customer file from the files that are provided electronically and is proud of what is now an immaculately maintained database.

The solution: With PREMIUMADRESS Basis, The Whisky Store is saving important working hours since the new, automated database maintenance process is quicker and more reliable.

The company managed to reduce the number of undeliverable mail items to approx 2%. In addition to enhanced data quality, the time saved also plays a major role.

Digital data transfer makes the process of updating the database much simpler and more convenient.

The solution: Praktiker uses PREMIUMADRESS Report and thus receives up-to-date electronic address information about undeliverable mail items.

TASSO, the central pet register, is looking for service that is good value and fast.
Every year, TASSO sends out approximately 3.9 million INFOPOST items and another 500,000 mail items in its day-to-day business - all with item-based address maintenance. Since it is financed by means of donations, the company requires a system that minimizes its costs.

For address maintenance, the company needs to take address changes, undeliverability information and relocation addresses into account.

This is the only way address changes and mail item information can be entered quickly and cost-efficiently.

The solution: TASSO uses PREMIUMADRESS Basis. This way, the company receives the corrected addresses shortly after dispatch and quickly knows whether the address is defective, the recipient has moved or whether there are other reasons for non-delivery.
