I was browsing a local rag and saw an advert for flyerland.ca:
http://www.flyerland.ca/

I've noticed a lot of people here like flyers and might like that link.

I personally never read flyers and have had a 'no junk mail' on my mailbox for about 12 years. I figure I've saved enough trees with a simple placement of a decal to counter some of my damage to the environment in other ways. If you're interested: http://www.reddotcampaign.ca/

But the flyer has already been printed. Whether it's posted through your door or not - it still exists.

Of course it does; I'm not stupid... and that comment was written with my tongue in my cheek (perhaps you missed my Mustang thread).

What also exists is the 'flyer distribution standards association' and various market researchers who take notice of consumer behaviour. Part of that noticing is seeing that a lot of Canadians don't want flyers in their mailboxes and this number is increasing. They would be stupid to ignore this and not find alternative methods to spam their target markets... and voila, a website.

Yes I agree - mine go straight into the recycling. Trouble is, they come stuffed inside the free papers we get.

Sorry, I wasn't implying you were stupid, I was merely stating the obvious. And no, i didn't see the mustang thread.

I always think of it as doing my bit to help the Canadian forestry industry; and the hamster seems to like the real estate paper as lining for the box he runs around in while we're cleaning his cage.

I've found that companies are getting smarter at making junk mail appear to be non-junk. Readers Digest have just found me with their large brown envelope so I am going to try the red dot thingy as I think I have nothing to lose.

As much as one would like to think that was true, the website is probably just a recognition of an additional opportunity to reach the consumer. ...so perhaps they don't take that much notice after all.

Can you return to sender, without postage.

That is what I'd do.... Perhaps put some talc in the package too, just to get them to take notice!!!!

Yes that's what I do. When I lived in the UK I used to return junk mail in the reply paid envelopes that were provided but I switched it all around so that that all the companies got each others crap!

Ah, pure evil genius. You are indeed a worthy love child.
