Mail Advertising Is Not Good Way to Advertise

Have you received advertising in your mailbox? Do you like them? How many junk mail do you read? I think mailbox shouldn't be used for advertising. It is costly, intrusive and wasteful.

Junk Mail Overflows Our Mailboxes

Junk mail in the U.S. accounts for over 100,100,000,000 pieces of mail each year.

Each household receive 848 pieces of junk mail every year.

Junk Mail Invades Our Privacy

Junk mail does more than invade our homes. Without the owner's permission, these junk mail should not be put in their mailbox.

Junk mail also waste our too much time. We need at least 30 hours to deal with 848 pieces of junk mail every year (if 2 minuts for per a junk mial).  

Junk Mail is Inefficient

92% of respondents discard or recycle at least some of their junk mail without reading it.

We will spend 8 months of our lives dealing with junk mial.

Junk Mail Distroys Our Environment

It takes more than 100 million trees to product the total volume of junk mail in America each year.

The manufacture of junk mail releases more greenhouse gas emissions per year than the emissions released by 9,372,000 million average passenger cars.

I made a survey in the class last on November 5th 2010 from 10 students and teacher Liz about three questions above.

Everyone has received the mail advertising. 73% of people do not like the junk mail, 18% people like it a little bit, 9% of people like it. See figure 1.  27% of people do not read any thing, 37% people read 10% of advertising, 18% of people read 20% of them, and only 18% of people read 50% of them. See figure 2.

In conclusion, the mail advertising is not good way to advertise. Internet provides a world wide web for advertisements. It is more efficent, economical and environmently friendly.
