Do you still open snail mail advertisements?

Asked by StaceyD (215points) February 6th, 2015

My email box is overflowing with literally thousands of unwanted solicitations. Fortunately, most land in the spam box now. On the other hand, I hardly ever get any snail mail ads anymore. A decade ago, people referred to them as junk mail. Now I find they are actually really useful. They usually have great coupons or something free, like a pen or calendar. I read two articles about it – one indicates there are times when snail mail is still better http://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/5-times-to-use-snail-mail-not-email.html and the other states direct mail ads are still effective in 2015 http://www.ballantine.com/yes-direct-mail-marketing-still-works-in-2015/ – do you think snail mail ads are still relevant and do you open them? I know they are for me – last week I got a wine coupon in the mail and I went to another store, further from my house, to get the deal.
