Why Join?

The American Catalog Mailers Association leads the fight in Washington and state legislatures on the most significant policy issues affecting the direct marketers, online merchants and store retailers who mail catalogs, as well as their suppliers.

Helping the Catalog Marketing Industry

ACMA’s work has resulted in consistently higher catalog circulation. That helps your business prosper.

Benefits of Membership

Gain Representation in Washington
Over the past decade, ACMA has championed lower postage rates, advocated for smart e-commerce policies and built trusted relationships with regulators and legislators to address the individual concerns and needs of its members. ACMA’s aggressive outreach to members of Congress from 2012 to 2018 delayed damaging changes to remote sales tax collection, saving our members millions of dollars.
Benefit from Our Relationships with Key Policymakers
Whenever a member-concerning legislative issue is up for debate in Congress, the ACMA is there – lobbying  members of Congress and regulators to ensure the voice of  the catalog marketing industry is heard.
Receive Information You Need & Can Use
Members receive a steady flow of catalog-specific information about what is happening in DC – be it postal-specific, tax related or regarding all other key externals of concern to your company.
Receive Exclusive Early Notice
Oftentimes, members gain from our insights well before they hear it elsewhere—postage incentives, early warnings about regulatory compliance, prognostications of catalog rate changes, and more.
Your Personal Problem Solver
ACMA will advocate for issues speci­fic to your company. When problems arise involving your company and USPS, state tax collectors, the federal government, or other crises, the ACMA is available to members round-the-clock to help resolve issues impacting your business.
Enjoy a Super-Sized 15x ROI
Companies that have been ACMA members from the outset have achieved a super-sized 15x ROI on their membership dues. This kind of ROI can only be sustained if ACMA continues to add members like you.

How We’ve Helped

• Longtime member Potpourri Group’s executives said they would not have known about the opportunity for a catalog-specific postal Negotiated Service Agreement (NSA) if not for ACMA, including our guidance and support during the process. ACMA is willing and eager to help other similarly situated member catalogers get NSAs. The postage savings can be quite significant.
• ACMA’s aggressive outreach to members of Congress was instrumental in stopping Congress from passing fatally-flawed sales tax collection legislation that would have exposed catalog marketers to thousands of tax jurisdictions and auditors in 46 states.
• When an ACMA member recently had some issues with a catalog mailing it was unable to solve after months of trying with local USPS reps, the member called on the ACMA for help. We knew who to call and got the problem solved.
• Rather than wasting your time sifting through industry newsletters that barely touch on the issues you care about most, ACMA provides the catalog-specific insights you care about. Not only do we curate the info you need, we also explain why it matters to you.
• Our members got wind of the postal summer sales three weeks before anyone did – and that was critical because notice was so short.
• We’re helping our members deal with increasing tariffs by providing an exclusive subscription service to help provide assistance in preparing, supporting and filing duty exemption requests.
