What is the value of a Date of Birth Append?
Knowing the age of your donors, alumni, or other supporters can help you decide what type of outreach is the best strategy. Whether that's targeting younger donors with text campaigns rather than direct mail, or determining which of your supporters may be retired based on age estimates, a date of birth append can give you valuable information about your constituents that can come in handy for multiple reasons.
A date of birth append can also be a key data point in other appends you may want to add to your list. In the case of employer appends, age can be a huge factor in accuracy scoring for matching an employer name to the right person.
