Colortech Inc. and Companies

Why bother checking for accuracy of your address list?

Accurate and updated addresses are required to obtain Automation and Presort prices for First Class and all Standard Mail prices after November 23, 2008.  Also, consider these statistics*:

• 14 percent of Americans change addresses annually.
• 43 million people move each year.
• One out of every six families moves each year.

How many of these people are your customers or members?

*Statistics from "NCOALink: The Premium Pre-Mailing Move Update Method." MailPro September/October 2008.

The new Move Update processing requirements start on November 23, 2008 requiring both First Class and Standard mailing lists to be run every 95 days prior to mailing. One of the best methods for this processing is the National Change of Address Linkage System or NCOALink.

NCOALink allows mailers to electronically process their mailing lists against the USPS National Change of Address database.  This reduces undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail be correcting input addresses in the file prior to mailing.

Using NCOALink prior to the mailing will help mailers avoid unnecessary production and postage costs for mail that may not be forwardable. It also helps keep Postal Service processing costs down by eliminating forwarding and return-to-sender processing of UAA mail.

This process improves mail piece deliverablity by providing mailers with current, standardized, delivery point-coded addresses for individual, family and business moves.

Due to the new Move Update Rules, starting November 1st, Colortech will be processing all mail lists through the NCOA Link database. Because this service will help reduce print and postage waste/charges for the customer, it will be included in our file processing charge.

Colortech was again a displaying vendor at the Business Expo at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center on October 29, 2008.

Our booth was number 33 and we displayed both Colortech, Inc. as well as Weddings by Colortech. We also participated in the Job Fair that took place simultaneously.

Alicia Weiler and Pat Eshelman manned the booth in the morning and John Roberts took the evening shift. It ran from 11:30-7 pm. There was a great turnout and we received many potential new clients.

Brian Taulbee, and employee of Colortech and a member of Shotgunn, will be playing a concert on Saturday, November 1 to raise money for various organizations. The group will perform from 8:30 pm to 12:30 am at Kevin's Place, 105 Main Street, in Lykens, PA.
