Address sanitizing

Definition:

Address sanitizing is the process of cleaning and standardizing your contact database so that all addresses within it follow USPS^® standards.

Most company databases contain inaccurate and incomplete data. This bad data can cause many headaches such as products being shipped to incorrect addresses, mail being undeliverable, and customers being unhappy. In order to avoid these problems, address sanitizing should be implemented.

Sanitizing a contact address database on a regular basis will provide many benefits for any type of organization. Such benefits include:

• Improved customer satisfaction
• Reduction of returned mail
• Saves time and money
• Ensures accurate data

Address sanitizing is beneficial for all companies, large and small looking to clean up their databases. Accurate data is essential in keeping your customers happy and your operations running efficiently.
