Direct Mail

It seems like every other month, the United States Postal Service is raising rates on postage to keep up with inflation — if only the average American’s salary kept up with inflation at the same rate. (Okay, that’s a different story…)

For the first time since December 2006, the rates of standard mail will jump by 2.9% and the rates of periodicals will go up 2.7%.  This will take effect on May 12th.

As direct mail marketing becomes less effective and as inflation forces postal rates to rise, we will see a greater need for e-marketing.
