← MAILERS+4


SmartMover uses NCOALink technology to securely transfer encrypted data to and from our servers for processing in order to keep up with customers that have filed a Change of Address (COA) with the USPS over the last 48 months.

How does SmartMover Work?

Mailing lists are processed through our CASS-Certified address verification engine in order to append ZIP+4 and validate delivery point. Each address that has a confirmed delivery-point will then be processed through NCOALink. New addresses are only returned if the Original Input Name and Address match the Change of Address file.

  1. Active Mailers+4 and SmartMover subscription.
  2. Completed Processing Acknowledgement Form on File.
  3. Minimum of 100 records.
  4. Minimum Fields: Company and/or Full Name (or First and Last Name) with Address, City, State, Postal Code.
