Fewer Catalogs = More Trees + More Cash + Fewer Sweaters?

I've managed to stay off catalog mailing lists since high school (might have something to do with moving an average of two times a year since then), but one of my best friends is on the lists for Anthropologie and J. Crew, which send her catalogs with the regularity of a Newsweek subscription.

I'm guessing she probably flips through a little less than half of them, but then volume is how direct mail works. Marketing 101: She's not going to get through all of those catalogs, but bombard her with enough images of cashmere sweaters, and she'll have to have one.

Get off the catalog mailing lists, and you're bound to save some cash money.

Then you won't need those catalogs anymore. This year, get off catalog mailing lists to save energy, paper, and embarrassment when your neighbor sees you pull an unwanted mail-order-marriage catalog out of your box.

Julie, Have you tried the CatalogChoice site again since you posted here? If so, were you successful this time around?

What really irks me are the countless phone books that are delivered even though we all use the phone directories on the Internet now. Does anyone know how to stop all of the phone books from coming? Thanks!

I enjoyed all Biter tips on curbing junk mail and have acted on them. Meanwhile, I'm still receiving multiple catalogs from Pottery Barn. I was delighted to see their new line of "green" products but felt it was just a marketing ploy considering I got 3 catalogs from them in the same week. How can they market "green" and still mail that many catalogs? Frustrated....
