DMA - Do Not Mail

Mail Preference Suppress (MPS) is a file of consumers who have requested not to receive mail-based advertising at home. Consumers register with MPS by providing their name and address to The Direct Marketing Association. Consumers learn about the availability of the service through state and local consumer agencies and print and broadcast media.

The DMA MPS is an effective means of purging your mailing lists of consumers who want to receive less advertising mail at home. If you are not already using this service, you should. Using MPS can be one of the single most important contributions your company can make to preserving the information access that is the foundation of successful direct marketing.

The file is professionally maintained through; NCOA^Link_™ processing, DSF^2_™ processing, Address Standardization, ZIP™ correction, ZIP+4^® appending and is deduped.

DMA - Do Not Call

The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a file of consumers who have notified the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) that they do not want to receive telephone  sales calls at home. Consumers register with TPS by providing their name, address and phone number to the DMA.

The DMA TPS is an effective means of purging your calling lists of consumers who do not want to receive telemarketing calls at home. Using TPS can be one of the single most important contributions your company can make to preserving the information access that is the foundation of successful telephone direct marketing.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act requires that telephone marketers offer consumers in-house suppression upon request. Using TPS complements your in-house suppression file by removing in advance those consumers who have already expressed the desire to not receive calls at home – saving you time and money for those who may be interested in your offer.

The file is professionally maintained through: Area Code and Exchange Corrections, Phone Numbers Appended, NCOA^Link_™ Processing and is de-duped.

Note: The following States include their "Do Not Call" lists in the DMA Telephone Preference Service:  Connecticut, Maine, Kentucky and Wyoming.  All other States that have "Do Not Call" programs maintain their own databases.
