DECEASED PROCESSING
Maintaining an accurate database is about more than reducing waste. It is also about protecting your organization’s reputation and ensuring your communications reach the right people.
Sending mail to individuals who have passed away can create unnecessary costs, generate returned mail, and potentially cause distress to surviving family members. AmeriList’s Deceased Suppression Services help businesses, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, financial institutions, and marketers identify and remove deceased individuals from their customer and prospect databases before mail is sent.
As part of our comprehensive data hygiene and mailing list processing solutions, deceased suppression helps improve database accuracy, reduce mailing costs, and demonstrate a commitment to responsible data management.
Deceased suppression is the process of comparing your mailing list against trusted deceased record databases to identify individuals who are no longer living.
Once identified, these records can be removed or flagged within your database, helping prevent future communications from being sent to deceased recipients.
This process helps organizations maintain cleaner records while avoiding the financial and reputational costs associated with mailing to deceased individuals.
Many organizations maintain customer and prospect databases for years or even decades. During that time, records naturally become outdated as individuals move, change contact information, or pass away.
Without regular data hygiene, these records can remain active in your database and continue receiving marketing communications, statements, solicitations, catalogs, and fundraising appeals.
The consequences can include:
