When Uncle Sam Has Something To Say, Uncle Sam Heads For The Nearest Post Office
Whether the subject is taxes, health information, census tallies, registering voters, or news from a senator or representative, when Uncle Sam wants to reach the American public, his messages go by advertising mail.
The officials who make Uncle Sam tick use advertising mail because they know that while the “electronic superhighway” may hold promise for tomorrow, [...]
There’s More to Mail Than Meets the Eye
There’s no shortage of clever messages and great ads. From the moment we arise to the time we turn off the lights, life is filled with commercial messages that compete for our time and attention.
But not all messages are the same. Some break through the clutter, catch our interest, and cause us to respond.
For generations [...]
Every Day Can Be Special When You Shop By Mail
Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas, a birthday, a graduation, a promotion, a new job, Valentine’s Day, an anniversary — there’s a lot to celebrate, something important almost every month.

Little wonder that when [...]
It Means Too Much To Be Called “Junk”
Advertising mail gets a bum rap, especially from those who call it “junk mail.”

Even With The Internet, We’ll Still Need A Modern Postal System
We read about it everywhere. The age of the information superhighway is here, and we are now able to store, manipulate, and move data in ways that were impossible just a few years ago.
But even though e-mail, fax machines, and 800 numbers are entirely common, nothing can replace the value and utility of a system [...]
We Speak Your Language No Matter What Language You Speak
America may be a melting pot, but many of us continue to use and enjoy languages from all over the world.
English is a second tongue for more than 47 million Americans — individuals who buy and invest, vote for candidates, support causes, and donate to charities. To reach this vast and diverse marketplace, you need [...]
The Wonderful Thing About Green Is That It Comes In Different Shades
Few matters generate more controversy than environmental questions. Honorable people with deeply-held convictions routinely debate a host of issues, everything from owls to elephants and from old forests to new ones.
But debate is healthy. It’s a sign of activity rather than stagnation, a chance to test ideas, and an opportunity to build consensus.

Free Newspapers — Who Ever Heard Of Such A Thing?
Each week in the United States more than 100 million free newspapers are delivered to homes and businesses.
