 Publications Firm Uses Address Updating Service

Gene Failla owns TN Publications – an Omaha, Neb.-based publications firm that focuses on the horseracing industry. To ensure its mailings get to the right address – and the right people – Failla enlisted the help of Melissa Data.

In the past, Failla mailed various brochures, pamphlets and postcards on the horseracing industry via First-Class Mail. He initially wanted to send his materials via Standard Mail, but he knew that if the address was wrong, it would immediately get thrown away. So, Failla chose to go the First-Class Mail route instead. Eventually, it got to be a little costly for the privately-owned publications firm.

“I couldn’t keep spending 40 cents per piece,” Failla says.

So Failla turned to Melissa Data for its NCOALink™ service. NCOALink processing searches your database for the individuals, families and businesses that have moved and filed a change of address with the U.S. Postal Service in the last 48 months.

Now Failla is able to send his publications both First-Class Mail and Standard Mail, thus saving his firm money. His company sends materials every day – roughly 300,000 pieces a year across the country.

“Using NCOA has definitely helped,” Failla notes. “It’s kept my mailing lists clean and up to date.”
