Deceased Suppression Services

Suppressing deceased individuals from your promotions will minimize insensitive situations for family of the deceased and realize significant cost-savings on postage, printing, and lettershop.

Most companies have detailed information in their customers’ records, but few have procedures in place notifying them when a customer passes away. That’s why Anchor developed one of the largest and most effective multi- sourced files of deceased individuals coupled with our award-winning name and address matching logic.

We offer you 2 processing options:

OPTION 1 – Processing your file is fast and easy on our web-based ecommerce platform. We will complete your job in minutes or hours.

OPTION 2 – Process yourself in-house by licensing our software and Suppression File. You control the processing and your data stays in-house.

Either way, marketers save on postage, printing, and lettershop costs by eliminating deceased names.
