The Blackline Validate service is a unique tool that leverages the databases of local and nationwide Directory Assistance and telecommunication providers to ensure customers, prospects or buyers are validated prior to shipping out product, extending lines of credit or performing other costly verification processes while accurately validating the buyer without using error prone modeling or predictive scoring and actually uses the databases of active and inactive phones and cell phone to ensure the buyer is validated.

Purposes:

Validate was traditionally used as a fraud tool to ensure the customers making purchases were in fact the legitimate owner of the phone number provided. If the number provided matches the phone number active with their phone carrier, address match or cell phone matches with added card processing AVS responses, we can accurately determine and create a reliable method to confirm the identity of the customer in a retail, online or customer not present environment.

Recently, innovative clients have taken this service beyond validation and are now using the tool to increase their mobile marketing strategies.  During the validation process, our API or file processing service will confirm the identity of the customer while also providing the type of number provided.  The validation process will let you know if the phone number is confirmed but also alerts you if the phone number provided is a cell number or home number.  This change in use of the service allows merchants and users of the services the ability to now communicate via SMS for order information, delivery, marketing and future loyalty programs.

Validate Processing Options

Validate can be used in a file process format such as Excel or csv format based on pre-determined intervals, Validate can also be used in real-time via an interactive API web interface

We are currently in talks with some of the most dynamic eCommerce providers in the US and Canada.  In addition to eCommerce platforms, the Validate technology is under integration with major Payment Gateways, CRM Systems, and Business Management applications.  Discussions are in place with the following organizations.

• VendHQ

Email Append Solutions 

Email append services deliver cost-effective strategies to help you engage and grow your customer relationships, coupled with protocols that provide your customers with privacy and comfort. Client confidentiality and comfort is key for your business to achieve maximum customer satisfaction.

Blackline has been the trusted source for data appending for years.  So it goes without saying that when we built our email append database, we applied our historical knowledge of appending best practices to provide you with the most accurate file for adding accurate emails to your customer file.

Why should you append email addresses to your customer file?

• Communicate more effectively and at a lower cost to current customers
• Engage less active customers
•  Increase sales from your existing database via cross-sell and up-sell

1.5 Billion emails scrubbed

Blackline Has One of the Largest Repositories of Email Addresses — We have just added new sources to the Email Append Database.  This brings the total number of input records to over 1.5 billion.

•  Email addresses go through a proprietary 8-step validation process to identify email addresses known to be associated with spam traps, invalid emails and domains, role accounts, complainers, known hard-bounces, etc.
• Updated monthly with additions and deletions
•  Time, date stamp and originating URL available on most records
• Email addresses are screened for offensive originating URLs i.e. adult websites
• The data is compiled from third-party opt-in data
•  Each email address is scored based on several factors including the number of reported sources

100% Deliverability Guarantee – We stand behind the email addresses we deliver to you for 30 days after delivery.

Proprietary Confidence Codes

Our customers know the importance of confidence coding when determining the matches for individual data projects.  We will consult with you to determine what match level is appropriate, whether it’s a strict exact name and address match, a loose household match, or something in between. Our logic results in more valid matches.

Suppression File

Not only do we maintain an immaculate database for append and reverse append projects, but we house a separate suppression file of over 220 million records.  These are email addresses that are bad, fraudulent, spam traps or complainers – none of which you want to add to your customer database as the results can be disastrous for your sending reputation.  These addresses are suppressed from our email append file.

If you provide your own email addresses to us, we can flag any matching records you may currently have on your file that should be removed from your email marketing database.

Having multi-channel touch points to reach customers is important for marketers today. When you need to append email addresses to your customer, member or donor file, Blackline offers exceptional data with outstanding service.

Email Verification Service

Our email verification service is a multi-step process that verifies that the email address you have for an individual is correct.  When you submit your email file to us for email verification we will return your file with codes indicating if the email address was verified, updated, or if we were unable to match the record.

Up to 30% of your customers could change email accounts over the course of a year.  Don’t lose touch with them!

Utilize the full suite of email services provided including email append, email validation and reverse email append to keep your customer email list up to date and deliverable.
