Melissa Data, a leading provider of contact data quality and address management solutions, today announced the addition of demographic data to Personator, the company’s flagship contact verification and append service. An all-in-one cloud service to correct and complete contact data, Personator now includes real-time lifestyle and segmentation data that helps boost targeted marketing efforts and business intelligence initiatives.
Personator is a full-contact authentication web service that goes beyond basic, discrete component data validation. Personator cross references the validity of the data as a whole, verifying customer records are deliverable and that names correspond to address, email and telephone data. This provides the basis for data quality uplift; records are completed with all contact points appended and enriched with missing information such as name, phone, email, address, demographic and geographic information. Adding to this are Personator’s new demographic capabilities, which include date of birth or death, presence of children, renter or owner and length of residence, gender, household income range and occupation – providing users with the business and consumer information to understand current customers and better target new prospects.
“Personator’s full contact authentication capabilities leverage multiple data sources to help companies gain a valid and singular view of their customer,” said Bud Walker, director of data quality solutions, Melissa Data. “Diverse demographic data adds tangible value in real-time – appealing to a large cross-section of industries and companies looking for greater insight into how to speak to customers effectively for omni-channel marketing, cross-sell/upsell, and customer loyalty.”
Personator is a unique convenient cloud service with no files or software to maintain. The service supports multiple protocols such as JSON, SOAP, XML and REST and is available in flexible packages for verification, updating and/or enrichment of contact data as needs require.
