Our
mailing department has the experience and knowledge to help
with all your fulfillment needs. Our mailing professionals
work hard to keep up with the constant changes in the postal
regulations. This allows us to keep your postage cost to a
minimum. Our job is to ensure that your mail is delivered
in a cost-effective, timely manner.
CASS
Certification.
Our
consultants use CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) software
that is certified by the United States Postal Service. In
addition to adding zip + 4 and Carrier Route information to
your list, our software will standardize the delivery address
to an USPS approved format. This is done by comparing your
database with the "current" USPS National database.
WPDS receives an updated database from the USPS every 2 months.
Why
should I get my list CASS Certified?
CASS Certified addresses are guaranteed deliverable, so your
mail will get to its destination.
The USPS requires certification in order to take advantage
of certain discounts like barcoding and Carrier Routing. These
discounts could be as much as 9 cents for first – class
and 11 cents for standard (Formerly 3rd class) mail.
Database
Management.
As
part of our complete mailing service, WPDS can manipulate
your data so that you mail only to the people you want to.
Duplicate
detection and removal.
-
We
can identify duplicates by address, name, or company depending
on your criteria.
-
Once
identified, you have the option of receiving a printout
of the duplicates. This can be a valuable tool to clean
up your database, and allow you to only send one piece of
mail to an address.
Assign
Congressional District numbers.
-
For
political mailings, we can assign the Congressional District
numbers to your database. This allows you to mail only to
those people in the districts you are targeting.
Specific
Criteria Set by the customer.
-
You
may target your mailing to whomever you want depending on
your specifications. This can range from limiting a mailing
to a specific city, certain zip codes, or based on any information
contained in your database.
At
WPDS your list is kept strictly confidential, so there are
no worries that your database could be used by any one else.
Wells
Print & Digital Services will house the list from your
most current mailing with us at no charge. This can serve
as an offsite backup of your valuable database.
