The Most Targeted List Available

Trigger lists work because these are not passive prospects — they are consumers actively shopping for a loan right now. A competitor just pulled their credit. The moment that happens, RMA Data Plus captures the signal and adds them to your morning delivery.

This is one of the most targeted lists available, and the response rates prove it.

Why Triggers Work

The Response Rate Difference

"You are lucky to get a 1% response from any traditional mail campaign. It's common to see response rates from 4% to 7% from a properly run trigger program."

— Industry context from RMA Data Plus lender program documentation. Response rates vary by offer, creative, and targeting; not a guaranteed outcome.

The difference comes down to intent. Traditional mail goes to everyone in an area — most aren't ready to act. A trigger list contains only people who just demonstrated they are actively in the market. That's why this is one of the most targeted lists available.

Traditional Direct Mail

Broad demographic or prescreen lists — prospects may or may not be actively shopping. Typical response: around 1%.

FAQ

Common questions about trigger campaigns

What is a credit trigger and how does it work?
A credit trigger fires the moment a competitor pulls a consumer's credit bureau for the purpose of automobile financing, personal loans, or credit cards. RMA Data Plus scours the credit bureaus each day, cross-references the inquiries against your marketing area, and delivers a fresh list of in-market shoppers every morning — so you can reach them before anyone else does.
What FCRA permissible purpose applies to trigger campaigns?
Trigger lists are used under FCRA permissible purpose for firm offers of credit or insurance. Any marketing offer sent to a consumer on a trigger list must constitute a Firm Offer of Credit — a real, binding offer subject to defined credit conditions. RMA Data Plus provides lists in compliance with these FCRA requirements, and clients are responsible for ensuring their offers meet the Firm Offer of Credit standard.
What response rates can I expect from a trigger campaign?
Trigger programs consistently outperform traditional mail. As noted in our source data: you are lucky to get a 1% response from any traditional mail campaign. It is common to see response rates from 4% to 7% from a properly run trigger program. Results depend on the quality of the offer, creative, and targeting — these figures represent typical industry experience, not a guaranteed outcome.
Which types of credit inquiries does trigger monitoring cover?
RMA Data Plus monitors three inquiry types: Auto Loans, Personal Loans, and Credit Cards. You can target one or all three depending on your lending products.
