Duplicate contacts cost money twice: once for every extra catalog, coupon and email, and again when the customer notices. Personalization suffers too, because each duplicate only knows part of what the customer has bought.
Three catalogs to one person, and a “we miss you” coupon to someone who bought last week.
Marketing lists are built from many sources: e-commerce, stores, events, lead forms and purchased lists. Each adds the same people again, with a nickname, a new email or an apartment number the others do not have.
The waste is easy to see in print: several catalogs to one home. It is harder to see in personalization. Each duplicate holds part of the customer’s history, so recommendations, suppression lists and win-back campaigns act on half the picture.
Simple deduplication on email or postal address catches exact repeats and misses nicknames, moved customers and household variations.
Print, postage and paid media are spent several times on one person.
Customers get win-back offers, welcome discounts or repeat promotions they should not.
Recommendations use one duplicate’s history instead of the customer’s.
Resolve the people on every list against your customer base before a campaign goes out. Match on names, nicknames, addresses and contact details together, and build each audience from resolved people, not rows.
Use the same resolved profile for personalization, so offers and suppressions are based on everything a customer has done.
One catalog, and offers based on everything she has bought.
Every list member is resolved to one person before the send.
Recent buyers and opted-out people are suppressed across every duplicate.
Personalization reads the customer’s full history.
