The risk of opt-out in e-mail marketing
Article Abstract:
Hard-core spammers are a continuing threat to legitimate direct marketers in that most opt-out techniques can ultimately be used against all forms of e-mail from legitimate businesses. The difference between conventional direct marketers and e-mailers is that it is very easy for intended e-mail recipients to petition their Internet service providers to block e-mail coming from a specific source. Rather than let the entire industry suffer, direct marketers should lend a hand in the fight against spamming.

Multiple channels, individual customers
Article Abstract:
The establishment of a seamless customer service group is a critical factor in the success of a direct marketing organization. Direct marketers should remember that whatever approach a company uses, be it via catalogs or e-mails, the consumer will not see multiple marketing channels at work. Instead, a company will continue to be judged by how it was able to address a customer's questions and fullfill their needs.
