The AVS difference
A database can give you records. We help you choose the right ones.
Decades of list-industry experience
Sourcing, selection, postal processing and mapping have been this team's daily work for a long time. That experience shows up in the questions we ask before you order.
Postal knowledge built in
CASS, NCOA, walk sequence and carrier routes aren't add-ons. They're part of how we build a list, because a list that can't be mailed efficiently isn't finished.
Complex requests welcome
Specialty audiences, custom maps, notification areas, suppressions and client-supplied files. If you can describe it, we can usually research it and build it.

You talk to the people doing the work. Questions get answered on a call, not in a support queue.

How AVS works
Who to target. Where to target. Prepare the data. Analyze the campaign.
01 · Who
Target the right audience
Who should we reach?
Consumer, business and specialty data, plus resident and saturation mailing data. If you can describe the audience, we can research it.
Explore02 · Where
Define the right geography
Where exactly should the mail go?
Radius, custom boundary, zone, ZIP Code, ZIP+4 and carrier-route mapping, geographic counts and custom notification areas.
Explore03 · Prepare
Prepare the data correctly
Is the data ready to mail?
Merge/purge, CASS and NCOA, walk sequence append, deceased and Do Not Mail coding, and files in the format your production partner needs.
Explore04 · Analyze
Analyze your customers
Where are our customers, and who responded?
Penetration analysis shows where customers are concentrated. Response analysis shows which prospects became customers.

02 · Where to target
Your market has a shape. Target that, not the ZIP Code.
Radius, custom boundary, zone, ZIP+4 and carrier-route mapping, plus notification areas that must follow very specific lines. Turn the layers on and off to see how geography changes the audience.
Map my market →03 · Prepare the data
When the data is wrong, everything downstream costs more.
Duplicates are printed twice. Old addresses come back undeliverable. Merge/purge, CASS, NCOA, walk sequence append and deceased and Do Not Mail coding fix that before the file goes to production. Here is what processing does to a small example file.
How we prepare your data →04 · Analyze
See where your customers are, and who responded.
Penetration analysis shows where your customers are concentrated and where market penetration is stronger or weaker. Response analysis matches new customers against the prospect file you mailed.

We have many companies soliciting our business but your pricing is fair and your customer service is the best, so we will continue to use AVS for all of our data needs.”
“I have been working with the team at AVS since 2007, to provide my clients with mailing lists for their mailing campaigns. They have always jumped through hoops to be sure every experience is great, and the lists are run in the best manner possible. Even having access to the system myself, I still find there are questions I have, yet with a simple call to AVS my problems are always solved. I would recommend AVS Leads to anyone seeking a great team to assist in their client’s success!”
“I have had the pleasure of working with the team at AVS Leads for over 10 years.

Questions
Straight answers before you order.
Licensing, timing, data types and what the rules allow.
All questions →Resident (saturation) data covers deliverable addresses in an area, usually mailed to “Resident” or “Current Occupant”. It is the right choice when you want every household in a neighborhood.
Consumer data is named: it identifies individuals or households and lets you select by characteristics such as age, income, homeownership, children or proximity to an address.
Business data identifies companies, nonprofits and, where available, contacts inside them, selected by industry, size, location and title.
Specialty data covers audiences that don't fit a standard menu. If you can describe the person, household, organization or business you want to reach, we research what is available and recommend selections.
Yes. That conversation is where most projects start. Tell us what you sell, who buys it today, where you operate and what the campaign needs to accomplish. We will recommend selections, explain the trade-offs between a broader and a tighter audience, and, if you have a customer file, run a penetration analysis to see where your current customers are concentrated.
Prospect data is licensed, not sold outright. Most files are licensed for a defined use, such as a single mailing or unlimited use for a set period. Terms vary by file and we confirm them before you order.
Your own customer data stays yours. Cleaning or enhancing it does not change who owns it, although appended fields may carry their own usage terms.
It depends on the work involved. A straightforward selection moves faster than a project that combines custom mapping, several sources and data processing. Tell us your mail or launch date when you request a count and we will confirm a realistic schedule before you order.
Yes. A large part of our work is with agencies, printers, mail houses and publishers who order data for the clients they serve. We can deliver to you or directly to your production partner, and we keep the project conversation with you.
Licensing data does not by itself give you permission to call, text or email anyone. Telemarketing is governed by laws and rules such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule and the National Do Not Call Registry, as well as state laws. Commercial email is governed by the CAN-SPAM Act and state laws.
We can explain how a file was prepared and screened, but we do not provide legal advice. Your counsel should confirm how these rules apply to your campaign.
