Keep up the good work
Bulk mail, direct mail, and direct marketing are not strictly speaking the same thing. Direct mail is a subset of direct marketing but direct marketing also includes telemarketing, online shopping, TV infomercials, etc. Direct mail also does not always fall under the bulk mail category. I started the article on direct mail because [[direct mail]] was redlinked in two different articles. Anyway these three subjects, while related, could probably eventually each get an article of their own. [[User:Parrothead|Parrothead]] 18:28, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, please distinguish the three in the article ... as you began to do in your comment above. I daresay bulk mail is a '''class''' of mail, and it might have something to do with presorting them to get a reduced postage rate. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:48, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
