GeoPAF allows you to understand your customers better and target new ones by mapping addresses against geographic and demographic information.
GeoPAF gives you rich insights into New Zealand households. It matches the 2 million addresses we deliver to with meshblock statistics from the 2023 Census. Each address has mapping coordinates and a link to the Property and Land Titles database maintained by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). This makes it New Zealand’s most intelligent and definitive household database.
You can use GeoPAF to enrich your own customer lists with over 50 specific demographic characteristics such as income, age group, number of children and more. It can offer valuable marketing, IT and business benefits including:
Better targeting
Reduce wastage and get better results by delivering only to the customers you need to talk to.
Better planning
If the location of assets or people is important to your business, GeoPAF is ideal. It’s great for utility providers facility planners, taxi companies wanting to optimise routes or insurance companies analysing risks.
Cost savings
Avoid mailing to incorrect or duplicated addresses. Save on returned mail and ensure you don’t send multiple copies of the same piece to one household.
Bulk savings on postage
Matching your data to GeoPAF could help you to qualify for bulk savings discounts.
Better data management
GeoPAF is ideal for reconciling customer addresses across various databases. Using the Delivery Point Identifier (DPID) you can clean up and de-dupe databases that come from different sources.
