It doesn't invade my privacy and my property. It doesn't demand my time or my money (e.g. tax dollars for curbside collection).<BR/><BR/>No matter how "super-easy" it is to opt-out of a single mailing, it's still a huge burden when you multiply that one small effort by the other 900 pieces of direct mail that the average household receives each year. <BR/><BR/>When 9 out of 10 Americans say they support Do Not Mail legislation, I think it's fair to say that "people don't want it." For them, the pleasure of receiving a few wanted mailings clearly doesn't outweigh the nuisance of dealing with the rest of it.<BR/><BR/>Rezzie Dannt<BR/>Junk Mail Revolt<BR/>http://www.junkmailrevolt.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202893.post-47412985207627781422008-08-21T10:17:00.000-07:002008-08-21T10:17:00.000-07:00"Direct mail is different: People don't want it, y..."Direct mail is different: People don't want it, yet they keep getting more of it. It's as if customers were being grabbed on the sidewalk and forced into a restaurant which they had no desire to patronize."<BR/><BR/>Is that really a fair (or the only)analogy? Is there not also an analogy that says a catalog is like the retaurant's physical presence - the building, the sign, the parking lot (that used to be grass!), letting people know that the restaurant exists? <BR/><BR/>I realize that mailing people after they've said they don't wish to be mailed, or not making it super-easy to opt out right away (which our industry has done a lousy job of!) does make his analogy fair on several levels. But to the extent we're talking about direct mail done in an ethical fashion by ethical people, isn't the visual of forcing someone into a restaurant a bit over the top?<BR/><BR/>Further, the comment 'people don't want it' is a bit 'one size fits all'. Isn't it more responsible to say is what people don't want is to receive things that are clearly not relevant or things that they explicitly said they no longer wish to receive?<BR/><BR/>All of that being said, I think he makes some good/wise comments about innovation, adaptability and 'Detroit'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
