Energy Marketing Insight and Tips to Generate New Customers

Posted October 26, 2016 by Michelle Peel in Direct Mail Tips, Direct Marketing Trends

The energy vertical is seeing sparks of growth. Because I live in Pennsylvania, I’m seeing more acquisition direct mail offers from energy companies in my mailbox.

Energy market deregulation varies from state-to-state. […]

An Insider’s Look at the Sold-Out &THEN Strategic Summit Sessions

Posted October 25, 2016 by Debora Haskel in Announcements, Direct Marketing Trends

As my colleague Megan Lester mentioned in her preview of last week’s annual DMA Conference (&THEN), I was really looking forward to attending the Strategic Summit.

2017 Postage Rates Are Coming Into Focus

Posted October 18, 2016 by Kurt Ruppel in Postal Issues Updates

The direct marketing industry took notice last week when the Postal Service filed its 2017 postage rate case with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). The PRC will now review the rates to ensure they are within the legally-mandated inflation-based rate cap. The PRC’s ruling is expected in about six weeks – probably just before Thanksgiving. […]

What We’re Looking Forward to at &THEN, Besides the So Cal Weather

Posted October 14, 2016 by Megan Lester in Announcements, Direct Marketing Trends

IWCO Direct has been attending the annual DMA Conference for more than 35 years but this is the first year anyone can remember that the conference, now called &THEN, will be held in Los Angeles. As a southern California native, I’m actually relieved to battle familiar LA traffic rather than airport security lines, flight delays […]

Our Favorite Moments from the Ryder Cup

Posted October 7, 2016 by Jim Leone in Announcements

Last week the world witnessed the US Team winning the Ryder Cup. For the Americans it was the first win in eight years and only the second in 14―needless to say, we had been in a drought. It was a great point of pride for me not only as an American golf enthusiast, but […]
