The Magazine Catalog Onslaught
The Magazine Catalog Onslaught
It’s that time of year – Catalog time! I receive a couple every day in the mail. I do a lot of internet shopping, especially this time of year. When I hit that “place order” button on some shopping websites I will be placed on a mailing list or two (or ten). That’s just the way it is.
I do like to thumb through some of these catalogs for gift ideas, But as soon as my holiday shopping is over, I don’t want to receive all the catalogs anymore. Here is what I do to deal with this dilemma.
I make a stack of all the catalogs I receive and place it where I’ll do my browsing. I don’t worry about that ever-growing pile for now. Once the holidays are over, I gather up the pile and decide which catalogs I no longer want to receive. Then, I will visit the Data Marketing & Analytics website to remove my name from the mailing lists. There is a reason you keep the catalogs that you are not interested in. You will need the information on the address label for each catalog to get your name deleted from each individual catalog’s list.
It’s actually very easy to do and takes just minutes. Soon the amount of junk mail in your box will lessen. YEAH! It’s a good idea to do this occasionally since I don’t think online shopping will end, so being added to the mailing list will never stop either. Go ahead and tackle that magazine catalog onslaught of yours. And happy shopping!
