Learn How to Reduce Your Junk Mail - For Businesses



Junk mail is a waste, and it costs businesses real money. There are simple things you can do to substantially cut back the amount of junk mail you get in your office and save money.

The suggestions below will help you reduce the mail received for staff members that are long gone, multiple mailings for the same person (often with small inconsistencies such as misspellings and abbreviations, that make them seem like unique records), and poorly targeted mailings (such as office supply catalogs for the CEO or E-commerce seminars for your building maintenance staff).



      What you can do:



  • Ask for Cooperation: When receiving catalogs, advertising flyers or other offers from companies that you will not do business with, ask them to remove your address from their list.

  • Control your Exposure: When submitting purchase orders, registrations for classes/conferences and subscriptions include a statement about preventing waste and protecting privacy by not adding your address to mailing lists.

  • Practice good mail list etiquette: If your organization maintains databases or mail lists, be protective of your clients. Be very selective about how you use data, and offer listed parties the option of not being distributed.

  • Keep your mail lists up to date: You waste money and time mailing materials to addresses that are no longer valid. Reduce waste and conserve resources by periodically updating your list(s).

  • Spread the word: Your company or organization should let everyone know about the goal of minimizing waste from unwanted mail.
