Third Wave’s product line includes applications to identify targeted consumers likely to need services, identify consumers with the right types of insurance, and determine messaging and offers based on demographic and other factors. "When these three powerful modules are combined, the right individuals to target are sifted out--helping you spend less, achieve higher response rates and yield higher return on investment," according to the company's Web site.
