September 2010
From Target Marketing
The more things change on
Target Marketing's Top 50 Mailers list, the more they stay the same. As I write this, mail volume continues to plummet; the U.S. Postal Service reported a drop just shy of another billion pieces for the third quarter of its 2010 fiscal year. So with increasingly less First-Class and Standard Mail in circulation, what do consumers find in their mailboxes these days?

September 2009
From Target Marketing
Exaggerated predictions of direct mail's demise have come up again, the typical knee-jerk reaction to some harsh realities: Standard mail volume continues to shrink, for a total drop of 12 billion pieces so far this USPS fiscal year; direct mail spend is contracting while e-mail spend increases; and consumers' environmental concerns continue to pressure marketers to evaluate their media choices carefully.

From Target Marketing

From Tipline

One glance at a datacard and many a good list gets passed over. But in today’s data-driven world, marketers have more information at hand than can fit on a datacard. And too

September 2007
From Target Marketing

Target Marketing published last September our first Top 50 listing of direct mail users by estimated volume, we wondered what the file might look like a year later.
