Snail Mail Still Alive

- 73 percent of respondents prefer to receive new product announcements and offers from companies they do business with by mail.
- 70 percent prefer receiving unsolicited product and services promotional info by mail.
- 86 percent choose mail over e-mail for private communications such as bills, bank statements and financial reports.
- 31 percent of consumers are less likely to discard unopened mail, including brochures, catalogs and advertising materials, while 53.2 percent report they discard unsolicited e-mails about new products.
