Undeliverable addresses? Not any more.
UAA, meet ARS.

ARS employs state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled database access to hunt down and correct address data that have been deemed undeliverable by standard CASS encoding. Using the Data Services Wizard within Mail Manager, it’s simple to electronically submit these undeliverable records for ARS processing. Addresses that can be corrected are quickly returned (in by 5pm Eastern, back by 9am the next business day) for easy reintegration into your mailing lists.

Why let potentially useful addresses go to waste? To increase your mailings’ reach without sacrificing deliverability, the choice is simple: Address Resolution Service from BCC Software.

Address Resolution Service: The essential resource for turning undeliverable addresses as good as new.

Once your list has been ZIP + 4® and DPV encoded by Mail Manager, any addresses left with only a 5-digit ZIP Code™ present a tough choice:

1. Omit the records from the job. You’ll save on printing and postage, but potential contact with would-be customers will be lost.
2. Mail to those addresses. Some pieces will reach their recipients, but all will draw higher postage and many will wind up as Undeliverable as Addressed (UAA) Return Mail ... assuming the USPS doesn’t simply throw them away.

BCC’s Address Resolution Service (ARS) gives you a third choice—"None of the Above"—by letting you improve your mailings past USPS deliverability standards. For just pennies per address, ARS can restore these possible UAA records to peak 9-digit deliverability—with a typical success rate of 30 percent, and sometimes much higher. You’ll still reduce your UAA mail, but without sacrificing potentially profitable addresses in the process.

ARS employs the address correction resources of Experian to compare submitted names and addresses to a wide variety of private database sources. Using complex matching algorithms, matches are found and added to a list of corrected data that is returned to you—along with a new CASS report that ensures mailpieces sent to those addresses will receive the discounted postage rates they deserve. (Missing apartment or suite number details are found and appended, as well.)

Like any other BCC Data Service, lists can be submitted for ARS processing and retrieved easily via the Data Services Wizard found in Mail Manager. UAA records from multiple lists can be conveniently combined into a single file (for maximum economy, only non-DPV confirmed records or those lacking apartment numbers may be submitted for ARS processing). Best of all, BCC’s new pricing schedule (above) provides scalable savings: the more processing you purchase, the lower your ARS processing rates.

USPS deliverability regulations are becoming increasingly strict, but there’s no reason to let the size and scope of your mailings suffer. Give your address data every chance to deliver for you, with Address Resolution Service from BCC Software.
