GreenDimes Stops Over Two Million Pounds Of Junk Mail In Its First Year: Company Remains the U.S. Leader in Stopping Junk Mail - One Mailbox at a Time
PALO ALTO, Calif. (December 10, 2007)
In just over a year, GreenDimes (www.greendimes.com) has already brought relief to thousands of consumers throughout the United States by eliminating 2.5 million pounds of unsolicited junk mail. The comprehensive service that GreenDimes provides has given the consumer back control of the mail delivered to their mailbox. It has also given back time formerly spent sorting through, tearing up and disposing of junk mail, leaving its members more time to do the things they want!
Amidst the powerful direct marketing industry that is continuously finding ways to make it harder for consumers to get off the lists and get rid of the junk, GreenDimes works diligently every day to present a powerful and unified voice to combat junk mail on each member's behalf.
When you sign up, GreenDimes contacts dozens of marketers on your behalf including companies who send frequent catalogs. When necessary, GreenDimes will inform customers who they need to contact directly to ensure up to 90% of their catalogs and junk mail is eliminated. While consumers can take steps to manage the problem themselves, they quickly encounter the roadblocks that GreenDimes works hard each day to tear down. Some companies ask for fees and others ask for personal information to remove you from their lists; certain catalogs require a call on every recipient's behalf in order to remove them from their database. GreenDimes stays one step ahead, ensuring that the consumer is getting the most effective service out there. GreenDimes' online catalog screener also allows customers to add or remove catalogs that arrive at their homes at any time.
"We provide a voice for thousands of consumers who are fed up with their overstuffed mailboxes and want an inexpensive full service solution for stopping junk mail and unwanted catalogs," said Dan Estabrook, General Manager of GreenDimes. "That solution is GreenDimes, and we will continue to go above and beyond for our customers until we eliminate their junk mail for good."
While there are companies out there that claim to reclaim your mailbox, none of them have the experience or proven track record of GreenDimes. After just a year in business, the service is already approaching 60,000 members strong and has saved over 370,000 trees and 7 million gallons of water to date! GreenDimes is constantly researching new ways to get customers off pesky mailing lists and has established relationships with thousands of companies that distribute junk mail, uncovering countless channels that allow the service to reduce its members' junk. GreenDimes makes the calls to stop pre-approved credit card mailings, value pack offers, coupons and more. Additionally, GreenDimes is the only service of its kind to feature a national online Do Not Mail Me petition that it plans to send to Congress with the goal of ending junk mail for good. By becoming a GreenDimes member, consumers are not only getting back precious time and sanity, but they are also taking a stand - enough is enough!
