BREAKING NEWS AT DMN BREAKFAST

Asked to provide her perspective on five key issues and trends in the Canadian mailing industry, NAMMU President, Kathleen Rowe, previewed the NIXIES by NAMMU program September 10 at the DMN Briefing Breakfast. Fuelled by the industry need for up to date address information and the void opened by the >60per cent "opt out" rate on the Canada Post Change of Address Notification (COAN), the NAMMU program is designed as a sequential suite of address management services - the entry level service of which has already been vetted by privacy advocates, and delighted the most stalwart of consumer champions.

The first service offering targets the need of business to continue doing business on an uninterrupted basis with its existing clients. The payoff is enormous for Canada Post and mailers: for Canada Post alone, a substantial reduction in the forwarding of mail means a substantial reduction in cost: the USPS estimates an average 25 cents per unit to forward; 60 cents to handle undeliverables.

For mailers, the opportunity to upgrade their files and ensure a continuous flow of mail to their customers is priceless. The broad range of services will be tabled at the NAMMU Data Management forum, September 25, Board of Trade (downtown), 1 First Canadian Place, 8:30AM - 12:30PM, by Hans Wobbe, NAMMU Director, Data Management and Privacy.
