Direct Media finally debuts 250,000-name catalog link list

Article Abstract:

Acxiom Corp., a subsidiary of Greenwich, CT-based Direct Media Inc. (DMI), has finally unveiled its list of 250,000 e-mail addresses compiled through a catalog-request service catalog Catalog Link. The company states that the Catalog Link list, available at www.cataloglink.com, is similar to conventional marketing response lists as it includes only people who are interested in shopping and catalogs. DMI earlier planned an April debut of the list but it reportedly took longer than anticipated to prepare the list for mailing. A charge of $150 per thousand names is imposed. The list will be managed by DMI's E-Mail Campaign Management service.
