MERGE/PURGE PROCESSING AND REPORTING
Merge/Purge Processing is the launching pad of any good direct marketing campaign - a procedure that can greatly reduce your postage and printing costs, increase your response rate and protect donor relationships.

So, how does Merge/Purge processing do all of those things? It helps you mail less by removing undeliverable addresses, purging duplicate addresses and even identify those on your list who are deceased. Plus, it can recognize multi-buyers and prevent you from sending multiple packages to the same person.

Alaniz and its strategic partner, IDMI, are able to offer a variety of Merge/Purge services, including:

• 150,000,000+ records processed annually
• 48-72-hour turn around
• Daily detailed statistical reports
• Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Pander File Suppression
• Deceased file processing
• Multiple gift array creation
• Scan line creation
• Identify Multi-buyers
• Salutation creation
