Junk mail volume falls as recession cuts catalogs and offers
As the recession dents spending, junk mail has dropped 16 percent from fall to summer, with major retailers trimming catalogs and paper use. Williams-Sonoma plans to halve pages by 2011 and target high spenders, while J Crew, Crate & Barrel, and Victoria's Secret parent rethink mail strategies. Fewer credit card solicitations also help shrink overall junk mail, with 1.4 billion fewer mailings last year than 2007.
