Email Services
Let Northwest Database Services do the work. Send your email file to us and we will do a thorough check of all the addresses on it. For each address, we’ll verify the syntax, that the domain of the address exists and can receive email, and that the mailbox exists at that domain. Our service uses advanced validation techniques and provides the quickest, easiest, and most accurate way to check an email list without tying up any of your own resources.
Email Address Verification (aka Validation)
Verify Email Addresses
Northwest Database Services’ email validation service determines which of your email addresses are valid and can receive email.
Use validation for email list hygiene to verify email addresses and:
- Identify which email addresses in your customer file are deliverable or not.
- Reduce email marketing costs due to emailing undeliverable addresses.
- Recover valid email addresses that were incorrectly classified as dead.
- Improve data quality.
- Increase the accuracy of your marketing metrics.
How Email Verification Works
Northwest Database provides the fastest and most accurate email address validation available and fully complies with Internet standards. Not only does our system fully recognize all forms of valid email addresses, but it can also verify the domain of the address and whether the user exists at that domain.
Northwest Database can perform the following escalating series of checks to verify an email address:
- Detect general format and syntax errors in email addresses.
- Ensure addresses use a valid top-level domain (e.g. .com, .net, .jp, .biz, etc.).
- Detect improper email address formats for common domains such as Hotmail and AOL.
- Block users, domains, and entire addresses that you define as illegitimate.
- Verify whether the domains of email addresses exist.
- Confirm that the domains can receive email.
Determine whether the email addresses can receive email.
Northwest Database Services Provides More Results
Northwest Database Services provides more results than competing services, which have single-digit match rates to business addresses. Northwest Database Services will first append as many matches as possible using our proprietary B2B Email Append service, and, if we do not obtain a work address for a contact, we’ll match to our consumer database. This two-pronged approach not only provides you the best data possible, but it also maximizes your results. Northwest Database Services has obtained match rates as high as 45%!
B2B Email Append
Find Your Business Contacts’ Email Addresses
Northwest Database Services Business Email Appending service uses your business customers’ names, company names, and postal addresses to derive their email addresses and append them to your list.
Email is increasingly the preferred method for business communications. By adding email to your marketing efforts, you’ll save time and money and increase your ability to communicate with your customers.
The Value Of A Business Email Address
Your customers’ work addresses are more valuable than personal email addresses. People check their work email five days a week; therefore, your mail is more likely to be received and read. A personal address is usually one of several your contact has and may not be actively used.
How B2B Email Append Works
Step 1: We receive your customer data.
Your customer file, including company name, will be received and standardized by Northwest Database Services. We’ll remove duplicate records and apply standard address hygiene including CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) processing. We work with most data formats, and your information will always be protected within our secure system environment.
Step 2: The match is performed.
We locate the domain used for email by your contact’s company. (e.g., @us.ibm.com for IBM). The naming convention (e.g., firstname.lastname) for that domain is determined by consulting our database of ninety million unique email addresses. The contact’s email address is then derived by following the pattern for the domain.
Step 3: A permission request is sent.
We create and send a customized permission request message that will direct your customer to a web site with your logo. There, your customer can either opt-out of future email messages from you, update their contact information, or provide an alternate contact. If our first derivative of the contact’s email address is unsuccessful, we will attempt other possible nicknames (e.g., William to Bill) or other common naming conventions. If the address remains undeliverable, it is discarded.
Step 4: We return your file with email addresses appended.
All undeliverable matches are omitted, and people who unsubscribed are flagged. A final file containing only deliverable matches is returned to you. The complete process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. This allows for us to give the recipient the chance to opt-out.

Email Append For Consumer Data
Email Append uses your customers’ names and postal addresses to append accurate, deliverable email addresses to your customer database in four straightforward steps:
Step 1. We receive your customer data.
All we need to start the process is your list of customer names with their postal addresses. We work with most data formats, and your information will always be protected within our secure system environment. We’ll remove duplicate records and apply standard postal address hygiene including CASS & NCOA.
Step 2. The match is performed.
Your customer file is matched against our database of over 150,000,000 consumer records to retrieve the corresponding email addresses. We consistently find email addresses for 10 – 20% of all records that are submitted to us.
Step 3. A permission request is sent.
We create and send a customized permission request message that will direct your customer to a website with your logo. There, your customer can either opt-out of future email messages from you, update their contact information, or provide an alternate contact. See a sample permission email.
Step 4. We return your database with email addresses appended.
All undeliverable matches are omitted, and opt-out responders are flagged. A final file containing deliverable matches is returned to you.

- Communicate with your customers through direct mail.
- Better segment your database based on geography.
- Personalize your communications.

Email Change Of Address (ECOA)
Email Update helps you retain your customers by replacing old, undeliverable email addresses with the new, current addresses for your customers.
Over 30% of email addresses change each year – much faster than postal addresses – and Northwest Database Services’ ECOA solution can help you stay in touch with your customers; even if they move, change jobs, or change ISPs. With the average email list having a 13% bounce rate, undeliverable email is a pervasive problem representing reduced response rates, lost sales opportunities, and increased costs.
Your customers are valuable, and industry statistics show that it is much more cost effective to retain your existing customers than acquire new ones:
- Email customer acquisition costs average $114 – Jupiter Media Metrix
- Acquiring a customer costs 5 to 10 times more than retaining one – eMarketer
- A 5% increase in retention yields profit increases of 25% to 100% – Bain and Co.
- Repeat customers spend an average 67% more – Bain and Co.
- Use Northwest Database Services Email Update service to keep in contact with your customers.
How Email Change Of Address Works
Northwest Database Services utilizes a database of over 15 million email address changes within the past 2 years. We can typically update 5% to 10% of an email list within two weeks and over 20% of a list on an annual basis. The Email Update process takes a few simple steps:
- Send us a list of your undeliverable email addresses.
- Northwest Database Services matches your list to our ECOA database.
- Your customers are sent emails inviting them to share their current addresses.
- Your updated database is returned to you with a summary report.
