The Obstacles of Change

Change is a beautiful thing. It brings with it a mirage of memories and timeless remembrances.  Yet, for all the good that comes about there are undoubtedly some equally exasperating elements of life that go untouched and unchanged as time moves speedily by. Contacts just so happen to be one of these elements. The numbers prove it. Research reports that 18 percent of your contacts have moved addresses. This leads to numerous communication issues, such as the costly problem of sending mail postmarked to an incorrect address. A large organization that sends out 6,000 pieces of mail per month at 45 cents per stamp could hypothetically waste up to 32,000 dollars per year on postage. Over a ten year period that works out to over a quarter million dollars just in wasted postage. Along with this huge waste of revenue, an organization would have to go through the even more tedious cost of sorting through all the mail that was returned to them due to the potentially faulty addresses.

It takes time and resources to go through hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of old contacts to find all their new information. The ideal situation would be to find a service that specializes in finding and updating contacts. However, you do not want just any company. In this age of technology, you want to make sure you are getting the most for your money in the most safe and secure way possible. TouchPoints is a service that utilizes a secure database similar to the one the FBI uses to find any new addresses, legal name changes, date of birth, current phone numbers, associated contacts and even date of death (if applicable) for anyone in the United States. All TouchPoints needs is a name and an address and the process of updating begins. With over a 90 percent success rate at finding people, TouchPoints would be more than willing to complete a free sample to show what results would look like for a specific organization. Touch Points has worked with organizations across the country, like the Boys Scouts of America and Boys and Girls Clubs (just to name a few), and now these establishments have updated information for many of the kids who once went through their programs and are now all grown up. High schools and colleges have updated their alumni information to make reunion planning much easier. This service can be effective in saving time and money and it does not matter how outdated the contact information is. TouchPoints only charges for the contacts that are successfully located, making it a reasonable and cost efficient service. TouchPoints has assisted many of its customers with accomplishing fundraising initiatives due to the updating of contact records.
