Quite often we don’t understand how many duplicates are within our customer data until we try to move the data between systems. If this isn’t sorted straight away then a number of issues will occur. As the old adage says Rubbish In, Rubbish Out.
Duplicates can be disguised in a number of ways, the most visible form being a direct carbon copy of another record. These are the easiest to spot. However the most common (and harmful) type of duplicate data is a partial duplicate. These are records that may contain the same name but the address is just slightly different e.g., Warrick Avenue instead of Warwick Avenue or the same address but different people, Jo Bloggs and Joanne Bloggs.
Duplicate data can have a massive effect on the success of your Sales & Marketing campaigns.
BENEFITS
to ensure optimum accuracy
Maximise Marketing Budget
For a database of 50,000 records, if 5% were duplicates then based on delivering 2.5k unnecessary brochures at a cost of £4 per brochure, the waste for each marketing campaign is £10k. That’s not mentioning the damage to your brand's reputation if multiple brochures land on your customer’s doorstep.
Enhance Productivity
Spend less time sorting through your data and dealing with duplicates. Editing data by hand is a time-consuming task, often taking days or weeks in large databases.
Improve Your Reporting
Duplicates held in disparate databases eliminates your Single Customer View, which results in an incomplete picture of your clients. Creating a single source of truth gives cost savings, increased data confidence, improved sales, operational efficiency and compliance.
Identify Fraud
Spot patterns of usage at an address. E.g., many fraudulent applications have only slightly tweaked details to escape the net. The culprit may use the same name, same street, town, postcode but a different house number. Looking at “possible duplicates” can highlight properties that are continually requesting credit.
