<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2325563, member: 17665"]It is not my intention to argue about this but my girlfriend works for a mailing company and those charts, weather spot on or not are accurate to a degree. In 2008 direct mail advertising took a huge hit, at that time mostly from the economic chaos going on, and has never recovered to it's heyday. Large companies pulled out of much of it finding it easier and cheaper to use the internet. And though most of us still get our fair share of junk mail ads on a regular basis, I have noticed many companies now only have online catalogs. Even Numismatic News has 12 issues a year online. If you have the time check a magazine called B2B and you will see that even they talk about the hard times of direct mail marketing since the crash of 2008. Remember all those coupon ads we used to receive in the Sunday papers? They are now only a fraction of what they were. There is truth to what mostly everyone is saying but the reasons are far more complex than most of us realize.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
