Washington Post: Yes, you are getting less junk mail
The Washington Post has this article at MSNBC: Expect less junk mail as marketers cut back.
A snippet:
“People who have good credit don’t need another credit card,” said Barry Kassel, chief executive of RTC Relationship Marketing in Georgetown. “And other people are overextended. It’s an over-commoditized category in which anybody who passes a credit screening pretty much has too much credit card in their wallet already.”
Catalogue companies, already pinched by a postal rate increase last year, began scaling back earlier this year. Late last month, the Postal Service projected that it would carry 9 billion fewer pieces of all types of mail in fiscal 2008 than it did the year before.
