All great suggestions. Walk the walk, lead by example, etc. If print and mail providers prioritize their own direct mail (and other) marketing efforts, the results will follow.

Thanks Patrick. Glad you enjoyed the article. I'm always amazed at how few direct mailers send their own direct mail or collect metrics on the campaigns they support (although in fairness their clients don't always share.)
