More Proof That Direct Mail Marketing Really Works
News and trade-journal publishers – which together constitute the largest segment of this country’s $140 billion information industry – suffered a 5.4% drop in revenue last year. The biggest losers were newspaper publishers, trade-journal publishers, newswires, and news services. “They are reeling from the dot-com crash,” says Janet Cleary of Outsell, a research and advisory firm (http://www.outsellinc.com/).
One area of information publishing that remained reasonably healthy was newsletters. That’s because newsletters rely primarily on direct mail marketing, not advertising sales, for most of their revenues.
