Equifax Intelligence: Equifax ValueScore™

Equifax ValueScore™

New Scoring Tool to Expand Prospect Universes and Boost Profits!

Equifax ValueScore is a new marketing score that will make it easier for direct marketers to identify the highest quality prospects on any responsive marketing list, thus boosting profits!

Equifax ValueScore permits you to combine highly responsive prospecting data with a profitability model developed from our vast corporate database of consumer behavior. Using the Equifax ValueScore will help to grow your business – quickly, efficiently, and reliably.

How It Works

Equifax ValueScore is easy to use! Simply select from the twelve ValueScores you want, ranging from high to low profit potential. Equifax ValueScore permits you to expand your prospect universe by qualifying responsive lists that previously had low payment and conversion rates.

For example, when using Equifax ValueScore, a marketing list may become a winner by simply selecting ValueScores A1-D3 and omitting the poorest profit potential names, ValueScores E1-E3. Ask your Equifax representative to include Equifax ValueScore on any test list order. And it’s quick and easy to add Equifax ValueScore to any house or prospect file through our Data Enhancement services, too!

The Equifax ValueScore Will Help You:

  • Expand your prospect universes
  • Move beyond traditional marketing campaigns
  • Better target your marketing messages
  • Reduce mailing costs and prioritize your most profitable prospects

Designed for Continuity and Invitation to Apply Marketers!

The goal of direct marketing is to achieve high response balanced by solid back-end payment and conversion rates. While other industry marketers will benefit from using Equifax ValueScore, Continuity and Invitation to Apply (ITA) credit marketers will reap the greatest benefits. They want to target responsive lists that maximize profitability and minimize underwriting costs without having to make firm offers of credit.

Mailers using Equifax ValueScore will find performance improvements in their test list selects. The graph shows two mailers' profitability results by ValueScores. These Continuity and Invitation to Apply mailers both removed ValueScores E1- E3 from their testing in order to boost overall mailing profitability.
