FAQ's

Most mail campaigns take around 3 months to plan and execute. Therefore you need to allow this amount of time for the mail you do not want to be suppressed.

No, there are a number of companies who operate outside of the guidance of the Direct Marketing Authority (DMA) usually from overseas, who may not subscribe to our service. However as no company wants to mail people who will not respond, we do expect that most companies will subscribe to our data supply.

For this service to be the most effective in suppressing unwanted mail and ensuring that you do get the mail which interests you, it is important that as many people as possible use the service. The more people who use this service, the more certain it is that almost all marketing companies will use the data we supply as they will make considerable cost savings on their mailing campaigns.

Typically around 1 to 4% of people will respond to a direct mail campaign. Therefore 96% or more of all the mail sent will be wasted. Companies are very commercial and while they can and do make a profit on these relatively low returns, they are always looking for ways to increase the response rate to any campaign. Knowing therefore that you are not for example going to support a charity mailing for an animal hospital, because you prefer to give to children’s charities will help them achieve their goals as they will no longer write to you. This helps them to make a larger return on their investment and enables them to send out less mail therefore using up less of our planets resources.
