Finding Lost Constituents

Lost constituents are a lost opportunity.

Before you can engage your constituents, you have to know where to reach them. Harris Connect uses a variety of powerful search tools and databases to help you relocate those lost alumni, past members and other constituents.

Lost Trace
Using multiple data points such as last known address, a sophisticated algorithm searches a massive database to return the single best match of current address. Depending on the mix of information you provide, you will get matches on 96% of your lost constituents.

National Change of Address (NCOA)
You are probably familiar for years with NCOA to track constituents when they move. With complementary features like address standardization for increased mail efficiencies and carrier route coding, ZIP + 4 code correction, CASS certification and more for decrease costs—NCOA has become an invaluable tool. We make this standard program easier and less costly for you by reformatting your data to meet NCOA requirements. Our average match rate is 5-7% with a turnaround time of just seven days.

Our self-service locator allows you to update records one (or a few) at a time—whenever and wherever you are. A simple, web-based application enables you to search through billions of records across more than 1,700 databases in a matter of seconds. With as little as name and last known city, you'll receive a list of most likely candidates, ranked in order based on how well they match your criteria.
