ASPCA: Dedupe for the Dogs

ASPCA Solicitation Mailer
Make the puppy happy.
Clean up your mailing list.

This is a classic Fail for Targeting. All mailers should go through list cleansing steps, including removing duplicates. I like this advice from Strata: double check your mailing list by hand. This is also known as eyeballing a list -- sometimes that visual inspection will reveal something that the most sophisticated software will miss.

Lessons:

  1. Dedupe your mailing list.
  2. In addition to systemic steps, review your mailing list directly.
