As many as 3.54 billion direct-mail pieces were sent by credit card issuers in 2000, but response rates have sunk to an all-time low of 0.6%, according to the Mail Monitor. Stand-alone direct mail was used most frequently for new account solicitations, accounting for 68% of all card applications. Financial statement inserts accounted for 9%, retail take- one brochures another 9% and 5% for online. Mailbox clutter and high penetration rates were cited as reasons for the low response rates.
