NCOA
Each year 16%-18% of Canadians move, of these over 80% notify Canada Post. Don't loose track of your existing clients. Your database will come back with your contacts updated addresses.

Proper Upper/Lower Conversion
We can correctly case “Mc” and “Mac” names (“MacKenzie,” “Macey”) and also less common prefixes like “Del” and “Von” (“DelGado,” “VonBraun”).

Genderize Names
Are you marketing to males and females the same way. Do you even know how many males vs. females you have in your database and if not why? We can help! We can genderize your database so you can market to your database more effectively.

Build Salutations
We can create both formal (Dear Mr. Brown) and informal (Dear Greg) salutations. When we encounter neutral names (Pat, Chris, Dale), you can assign a neutral salutation (Dear First Name, Last Name) or a “slug” (Dear Valued Customer).

Name Splitting
We can parse compound fields containing either single or double names, plus inverse names, into their structural components:
Prefix (Mr., Ms, Dr, etc.)
First name
Middle name (or initial)
Last name
Suffix (M.D., Ph. D.).

City/Prov/PC Splitting
We can intelligently split city-province-pcode compound fields into their components.

Specialized Programming
Do you need a complicated matrix upgrade or a laser personalized letter that is completely different than the next depending on the components in the data? No programming project is too difficult. Call or email us your programming needs, we will come up with a solution.

List Conversion
Conversions from fixed field to dbase, label format to ascii comma delimited. We'll get it done for you!

Database Analysis Reports
Sometimes the solution is staring you in the face but unless it is in a simple to understand report it can stay hidden. Tell us how you want your data analyzed we'll do the rest.
