Sorting the Mail and Eliminate Junk
By Jan Hayner
Did you know that 80 % of the mail that
we receive will end up in the trash can
because it is unsolicited mail, otherwise
known as JUNK?
It can get a hold of our lives because
we tend to think we need to read it all
because there might be something we will
need.
Chances are….there isn’t. If we haven’t
asked to receive it, we don’t need it!
Before we start: Send letters to each of
these places and stop the junk mail from
coming.This is called "opt-out", you are
telling these people that you aren't
interested in knowing about their product or business.
Only instead of writing each place individually,
you are having them take your name off of
these lists and telling them all at the same
time. Sounds great doesn't it?
It really doesn't take that long and the
benifits are enormous!
True, it takes about 90 days for this to
catch up and go into effect, but it is worth
it.
Getting off of a MAILING LIST:
Please send a postcard or letter that
includes your name, home address, and
signature to:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
PO Box 643
Carmel, NY 10512
Getting of of Telemarketing Lists:
Please send a postcard or letter that
includes your name, home address, and
signature to:
Telephone Preference Service
Direct Marketing Association
PO Box 1559
Carmel, NY 10512
Getting off of E-Mail Lists:
Go to http://www.dmaconsumers.org/consumers/
optoutform_emps.shtml and fill in the
necessary information.
Now let’s get rid of all of this time
consuming paper clutter in six easy steps:
1. Sort your mail next to the garbage
can. Anything that is junk belongs below
your hand (in the trash).
2. Bills go in one pile and mark on your
calendar the date it is due and the amount.
3. Things to be dealt with in pile two; do
this by the end of the day or set up an hour
once a week (Thursday 1:00 handle the paper
work file..pay bills..make calls)
4. File it…if it is something that needs
to be kept, file it immediately. Don’t
take the chance of losing it.
5. Things I want to read….keep this for
one week only. If you haven’t read it by
that time, your not going to, when your
paper work hour arrives, throw it out.
6. Keep all of your mail in one place
(a drawer, manila folder) if it’s organized
you won’t loose it.
Junk mail can be very annoying as well as
time consuming, we all know that.
The amount of wasted money in stamps and
envelopes alone could save a company thousands
of dollars, but it is advertising that every
company needs to make their business grow and
this same company, by sending all of the junk
mail can also earn profits in the thousands.
This is progress and gives people the right
to earn a living, no matter how aggravating
it is to the consumer.
However, if you don’t want this mail or
the telephone calls, following these steps
will help you to eliminate a large portion
of junk mail.
