Reduce Junk Mail
The DMA Mail Preference Service
If you want to reduce the amount of unsolicited national advertising mail you receive at home, you may register with MPS, a free service, by printing out this form, filling it in, and mailing it to:
MAIL PREFERENCE SERVICE
DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCIATION
P. O. BOX 643
CARMEL, NY 10512
The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) does not provide marketers with consumer mailing lists. The MPS file is available to companies for the sole purpose of removing your name and home address from their mailing lists. Your name/address remain on MPS for 5 years. This service does not apply to advertising mail sent to your business address.
After several months you will begin receiving less advertising mail from national marketers such as credit cards, sweepstakes and magazine subscription offers, and catalogs. Local businesses and organizations usually do not use this program. You will continue to receive mail from companies with which you already do business.
Not all companies use MPS to purge their mailing lists, therefore, you may continue to receive some companies’ promotions. In this instance, contact the company directly and ask to be placed on the company’s do-not-mail file.
PLEASE REGISTER MY NAME WITH THE MAIL PREFERENCE SERVICE.
