What Is Junk Mail, and Why Do You Receive It?
Simply put, junk mail is any unsolicited mail you receive from stores, insurance companies, charities, cable companies, Internet providers, political campaigns, credit card companies, or other entities.
These companies try to advertise and sell to you, convert you into a new customer, receive your vote, or convince you to donate. Companies want something from you, and they will try whatever tactics necessary to get your attention, including sending out junk mail that will never even be opened.
You may be receiving junk mail for a variety of reasons.
- Your address is in a targeted market campaign area.
- You are receiving junk mail from a previous resident of your address.
- Your personal information was sold to a third party, and now you are on their marketing list.
- You have previously conducted business with them, and they are trying to bring you back or upsell products.
- You requested specific information from an entity and were added to a general contact list.
