comparison purposes to contrast typical raw data on national files versus SourceLinks
hybrid of multiple sources and models. Key variables such as Home Ownership,
Marital Status and Children in the Home are examples of demographics that
significantly improve modeling and segmentation results when SourceLink enhanced
data variables are used.
Data richness and accuracy are the strength and foundation of our analytics. This
includes our rebuilding and updating of the
following variables nationally:
Home Value

The result was SUM, a custom 18-step protocol for post-campaign measurement and
suppression that processes data through a hierarchical structure of matching logic
algorithms and significantly improves post-campaign analysis and suppression results.
SourceLink took the extraordinary step of hiring an outside expert who has conducted
sophisticated statistical analysis of name matching algorithms for the government. His
analysis of our 18-step SUM process provided impressive confidence factors for each
step at the individual and household level. Comparisons to traditional methodologies

Modeling
SourceLink will utilize the name and address of customers and append
hundreds of variables including demographics, lifestyle characteristics,
socioeconomic variables and aggregate credit information. While SourceLink
modeling incorporates hundreds of variables into the model, Redcats
investment is limited to modeled names mailed, offering significant savings over
appending 100% of the house file and building models in house. We can also
test applying the model to various vertical lists. Again, Redcats investment is
based on net names mailed.
Customer Models
4) Re-activation Model targeting LTV in 24+ Month Buyers.
5) Next Product Model for cross-sell leveraging Redcats transactional data to
identify purchasing patterns.
6) Customer Lifetime Value Model to identify existing customers with high
profit potential.
Acquisition Models
7) Prospect Response Model leveraging SourceLink National Consumer File
(financial, demographics, and lifestyle) and SourceLink proprietary
S.M.A.R.T. Modeling Process. We also have access to Abacus summarized
variables for inclusion in the models. Test models built on known subsegments, for example one for older and one for younger prospects.
8) Prospect Lifetime Value Model for acquisition prospecting.
Campaign Strategies
9) Campaign Optimizer Multivariate Testing testing models, creative offer,
price points, etc.
10) New Customer Onboarding Strategy leveraging Next Product to
Purchase and LTV models to migrate customers from one time buyers to
active buyers.
