Do you know what factors most affect direct mail response? The first one is the right mailing list.

There are more than 25,000 mailing lists available nationwide. Aviva can help you find the ones that best suit your needs. We’ll find you the best targeted lists to achieve your marketing objectives. We then add our expertise to evaluate each list’s previous performance, demographics (age, income, marital status, or type of business , etc.), psychographics (lifestyle patterns, purchase history, financial status, etc.) and geographic availability. Only then do we offer you an informed list recommendation.

Types of Lists Available

Consumer Lists

There are over 90 million households in the US. Our consumer database contains double-verified information on each person in the household. Lists can be targeted by a combination of demographics, including age, income, presence of children, home vs. apartment, home value, length of residence, median education level, gender, marital status, and geography.

Resident/Occupant Lists

These lists are compilations of all addresses (without names) in a given geographic area. No personal demographics are available on resident lists. They are used in mass saturation mailings when coverage of a specific target area is more important than personalized selectivity . These lists are attractive because they cost less than “name lists” and can be presorted to the “carrier-route walk-sequence level” to qualify for the cheapest postage rate.

Business Lists

There are 12 million companies in our business database, which is compiled from reliable sources including yellow pages and business white pages, annual reports, government data, trade directories and much more. Each business is telemarketed at least once per year to verify the company’s demographics and ensure accuracy.

Business demographics include:

  • SIC Codes- Standard Industrial Classification, the government’s coding system which identifies types of business categories. The codes can be used to choose broad industry categories, such as manufacturing or retail or to select very specific industries, such as paper manufacturing or jewelry stores.
  • Annual sales volume
  • Employment size
  • Top Decision Maker Name
  • Phone Number
  • Fax Number
  • Number of Years in Business

Response Lists

The above lists account for less than 1% of the 25,000 lists available. Everything else is considered a specialty or “response.” That’s because these are lists of people who have responded to previous offers by mail. Response lists are typically made up of people who like to buy by mail or who have inquired about products via mail, such as magazine subscribers, club members, mail order catalog buyers and lifestyle survey respondents. Although frequently more expensive, response lists are highly targeted and have proven their in creating mailing responses and orders.

Pricing

Each list is custom ordered to your specifications, but most lists have a minimum order price. Please use our inquiry form to get specific pricing for your project, but here is estimated minimum order pricing:
Business and Consumer Lists        $295.00
Response Lists                           $500.00+
(List pricing varies depending on requested specifications)

Our 95% Guarantee

Aviva strives for 100% accuracy at all times, however, no list is perfect. All of our lists are backed by a 95% deliverability guarantee to ensure accuracy. A written guarantee is provided with all mailing list orders. This is one of the highest guarantees in the list industry.

List Updating

Most mailing lists are updated on a bi-weekly basis. Additionally, lists are certified through the USPS’s National Change of Address (NCOA) database on a quarterly basis and duplicate names are removed. Additionally, the list is passed against the USPS’s national address file to add the zip+4 and carrier-route coding to each address. This verifies that the addresses are deliverable. It also increases your mailing’s chances for postal discounts. If information on an individual or company cannot be confirmed, the address is not added to the database until it can be verified by at least two sources. As a result, Action Lists has the cleanest mailing lists available for maximum deliverability and accuracy.
