Advertising mail (admail or junk mail) is pervasive. In 2021, marketing mail volume in the United States (US) was 66.2 billion (US Postal Service [USPS], 2022). Statistics from USPS in 2013 found that 23% of households did not even read admail and more than 60% had no intention to respond to admail. This represents billions of marketing mail that is not acted upon.
While there is data from Singapore, anecdotal observations suggest that many households are receiving ad mail that they don’t want.
Design for Behaviour Change (DBC) is a programme developed to help participants come up with effective solutions through a problem analysis and solutioning process anchored on a strong understanding of behaviours. Team members can design initiatives to encourage communities to minimise admail.
