Founded in 1917, the Direct
Marketing Association (DMA) is today the largest trade association for businesses interested
in direct, database, and interactive global marketing, with about
5,200 member companies from the United States and 44 foreign
nations on six continents.
Both consumer and business-to-business marketers are the users
of direct marketing techniques. These marketers employ a number
of media, including telephone marketing, catalogs and other direct
mail pieces, television, radio, newspaper, magazines, and the
Internet to market directly to their customers. The suppliers,
of course, are those companies that provide users with supplies
and services.
The DMA shapes the way that organizations apply direct/interactive
marketing methods to all marketing, sales and customer service
activity. Our mission is to encourage the education, growth and
profitability of our members and their adherence to high ethical
standards.

officers, and postal officials at all levels.
PostCom works on its members' behalf before the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Postal Service and its Board of Governors,
and all federal agencies and audiences affecting U.S. postal policies and operations. It is regarded in Washington
circles as "the association for postal communication and commerce." If your business depends on the continued
