We are at the Annual Conference for Catalog Mailers in Orlando this week. We regret not having a booth on the exhibit floor, but we are busy meeting with merchants and service providers. The tenor at this event is much less heated than we experienced at the NEMOA event this spring. In fact, one active industry blogger reports that: “Attendees overwhelmingly shared with me that they were willing to speak with or work with Catalog Choice — only a few individuals expressed frustration with constant calls from Catalog Choice to accept opt-outs.” Another industry blogger reports: From my vantage point, this socially-green movement is inevitable, has gained critical mass and should be worked with.
From out vantage point, we are seeing the tide shift to more and more companies honoring consumer’s requests to no longer receive a catalog in the mail. While you may still be getting catalogs that you have opted-out of on this site, rest assured that we are contacting the merchants everyday to get them to honor your requests. Progress is being made.
