Stop Catalogs From Coming To Your Door

Are you tired of endlessly recycling catalogs that you don't want, or don't need? Even worse, are you tempted to buy from catalogs on credit, stretching an already-stressed family budget?

Then use www.CatalogChoice.org to help you stop those subscriptions from coming to your door.

Your name can end up on catalog mailing lists in many ways. Of course, there are catalogs you personally request. If you buy from a company's website and that company also offers a print catalog, you'll probably start getting copies in the mail. You'll also find that many companies sell your name and address to catalog companies after based on your buying habits and stated interests (think of all those warranty registrations and such that ask you to select hobbies and interests).

Besides reducing junk mail, there are lots of benefits to stopping those unwanted catalogs. Your life will be simpler, and your home will be more clutter-free. The world will enjoy a few more trees!

Best of all, you won't be tempted to spend money you don't have. There's nothing like a shiny, glossy catalog to get the shopping juices flowing! Since the vast majority of catalog shoppers use credit cards to order, catalogs can often lead to dangerous impulse spending.

CatalogChoice.org was designed to be an easy way to stop those catalogs from coming to your door. Simply bookmark CatalogChoice.org and sign up for your free account. Then, as catalogs come through your mailbox, keep only the ones you actually use. Take the ones you don't want and go right to your computer, visiting CatalogChoice.org to stop the catalogs you no longer wish to receive. The entire process is simple, taking only a minute or two. Once you're logged in, you search for the catalog you wish to discontinue. A click or two later, you request is submitted.

CatalogChoice will take your notification and pass it along to the catalog company. Most of the time, the company will gladly comply and take you off their mailing list. In a few cases, however, it will take a call to the catalog company itself to have your name removed.

So visit CatalogChoice.org and start reducing your junk mail right away. Spread the word and tell a friend!
