Driving Mail Channel EffectivenessDelivering to the Intended Recipient!
Acquisition Admail™
How is works:
•Once you identify the Postal Codes you want to reach AND ONLY THOSE YOU WANT TO REACH, we can use them to select addresses for your mailing list.
•For every Postal Code targeted, we’ll provide the addresses included in that Postal Code.
•You have the ability to exclude current customers addresses from your list for greater efficiency and ROI and to protect your existing customer relationships or addresses which could have sensitivity to receiving your offer.
•Reach prospects living in condos or apartments!
If you don’t have your own list, we can help you identify those that best match your customer profile
From anywhere… to anyone
•70% of Canadians are more likely to open mail if it has their address on it.*
•Reach prospects who share a similar geo-demographic profile as your best customers
•Access more than 12 million Canadian Urban addresses (including multi-dwelling units)
