Arrow Direct Mail Marking Is Dying

I honestly think direct mail marketing is on it way to the grave. People hate junk mail and worse yet, they hate the people who send out those junk mail. For me, that junk mail don't even make it into my house. I have my recyle bin next to my garage door entrance that I sort my mail there before bringing the good ones inside the house.

Direct mail is also extremely expensive.

A better way is to use a combination of a CTS and a CRM systems. These systems are much better at helping agents find new clients.

My father inlaw uses these systems in Japan and he does not need to go look for new clients. His existing clients bring him new clients and these new clients are high quality clients, unlike the clients you get from the street.

In my country we seldom receive junk mails, as you say because it is expensive. The cost of the printing the ads and the postage will deter the most persistent direct mail spammer.

I think many don't like getting this mail as well. Many don't like the waste of energy and the "green" implications of junk mail advertisment.

People if computer savy just search on internet to find a product or service. If they don't do that they use the phone book and newspaper ads.

Well no doubt spam is much cheaper than snail mail and thus companies have figured out that it's cost effective to keep in touch with potential customers this way. The post office is really going to go the way of the dodo bird at some point, swallowed up by the use of email and the freight companies like UPS and FedEx to deliver the packages that people order online.

You are absolutely right about one thing.....it is dying but I believe that those Spam pigs will keep on selling to un-knowing buyers thinking it will build their site.

With all of the Spam filters these days they hardly go to a regular folder anyway, and who reads that crap anyways??
