Questions

Mailing Lists and Farming

  1. What options do you provide for online farming?

  1. Our online mapping options give you the option to farm by choosing postal carrier routes from online maps, or by circle prospecting around a given address. There is no extra charge for using these options.

  1. Who are the cards addressed to if I use these options?

  1. Owner-occupied mailings are addressed to the homeowner by name. Renter mailings are addressed to "Our friends at".

  1. What is the Postal Carrier Route option?

  1. This option lets you target local neighborhoods, and is designed for quick and easy use. You enter an address into our system, and click on the map that comes up. This will give you direct mail information for the USPS carrier route located in the area you select, breaking the route down by various demographics and letting you choose single family homes, multifamily homes, owner-occupied, renter-occupied, or any combination of the group. Address generation is automatic and CASS certified. Save as many areas as you’d like to your account for easy reuse.

  1. Can I edit carrier routes?

  1. You can adjust the number of addresses you’d like to mail to by choosing between owner-occupied vs. renter occupied, and between single-family vs. multi-family residents. However, you cannot edit routes by any specific number (i.e. You cannot ask for 300 names out of route of 500)

  1. What does the Circle Prospecting tool do?

  1. The Circle Prospecting tool generates addresses around a center point. Enter in an address, choose single-family homes and/or multifamily homes, include renters if you wish, then select the number of addresses you’d like to mail to, and the system will pull that amount from around your central point.

  1. I want to use Circle Prospecting, but my address won’t come up. Why is that?

  1. Circle Prospecting may not find addresses that are less than a few years old, such as new developments or housing projects, if they have not shown up in enough public databases yet.

  1. How do I make my file a .CSV file?

  1. If your file is in Excel format, it can easily be made into a .CSV format. Simply:

    1) Open the file in Excel
    2) Choose from the top left hand corner of the page
    3) Choose from the pull down menu
    4) In the menu at the bottom of the pop-up screen, choose CSV (Comma Delimited)
    5) Hit the button, and save this new version of the file to your desktop.
