Most direct mail marketers do not appreciate do-not-mail lists because they represent lost potential sales.<BR/><BR/>But schools are not looking for sales, they are attempting to buy favorable <I>relative</I> opinions with junk mail. They would love to not spend money on junk mail, but are afraid of being at a disadvantage to other schools that do send mail.<BR/><BR/>A do-not-mail list allows schools to save money without worrying that they are leaving the field to other schools that are willing to spend the money.<BR/><BR/>Your proposal is very much in the schools' best interest and would likely be adopted if you could get it seriously considered by the ABA or the AALS.Jon Kalbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345662620274985978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19727420.post-27905787765182013762008-09-25T19:30:00.000-07:002008-09-25T19:30:00.000-07:00I've wondered about the cost of unsolicited mail i...I've wondered about the cost of unsolicited mail in general.
