More FAQ Archives

What is the NCOA database?

NCOA stands for National Change of Address and is a special database that has the most up-to-date address info for people across Canada. We use this to check audience lists provided to us to ensure that addresses are correct and that people still live in the locations you are providing. This also removes people that may be deceased or moved out of your trade area.

We use this to remove bad names & addresses or to correct poorly formatted addresses to ensure delivery.

What is the difference between Neighbourhood Mail and Postal Code Targeting?

  • Neighbourhood Mail: Reaches all households in a postal route or area.
  • Postal Code Targeting: Allows for more precise targeting based on demographics within specific postal codes.

Can I upload my own print ready design files?

Yes! If you already have a direct mail campaign design done, we will print it for you after you upload and complete your campaign order. Files should be packaged as print-ready PDFs or you can upload your AI, PSD, INDD, or other design format directly. Max file-size upload is 64MB.

If there are any issues with the print files, we will help you correct them or provide specific file specifications to you and your designer.

What is the typical turnaround time for campaigns to be printed and delivered?

  • Turnaround times vary but generally range from 7-14 business days from order confirmation to delivery.
