ROI … by the Numbers
• Lost postage and mailpiece cost– Per-mailpiece value of $0.94 = $9,863.42 (for the non-DPV)
• Investment– $250 for NCOALink® processing – $150 for proprietary solution to restores pieces to efficient use
• Return– Generated at least $3,250 in (new) initial ask– 3% response rate on the mailings and $30 per donor, those
recovered addresses could generate new revenue of $6,800 – from one mailing!
ROI … by the Numbers
Bottom Line:
• A $400 investment rescued almost $10,000 in otherwise wasted mailing costs, and should help generate $6,800 in new donor revenue
$16,800 Total— Over 30:1 ROI!
