3. Request Your Address Be Removed From Catalog Companies
It's no secret that catalog companies love to sell your address to direct mail companies. Not only do they make money off of the sale, but they also benefit from the increased traffic that comes as a result. Unfortunately, this practice is not sustainable and it's time to take action.
If you want your address removed from all catalog companies, you can contact the Direct Marketing Association. This organization will work with you to have your name removed from all their lists. However, this process can take up to six months and is not guaranteed to be successful. So be persistent – if you keep at it, eventually your name will be removed from all lists!
Alternatively, you can contact individual direct mail companies directly and ask them not to list your address. This process may be more difficult since many companies maintain a large list of addresses that they use for mailing purposes. However, by being persistent and contacting as many companies as possible, eventually your name will be taken off their list.
Finally, don't forget about email marketing! Many catalog companies send out email newsletters that include contact information for subscribers. By removing your address from these newsletters before they are sent out, you'll help ensure that you don't receive unwanted mail in the future!
