U.S. Consumer Time Spent With Media Fell For First Time In 2023 (mediapost.com)

The good news — or bad news, depending on how you look at it — is that consumer time spent with media continues to expand. The really bad news for the ad industry is that ad-supported media’s share continues to decline, in both the U.S. and worldwide.

Those are among the findings in the 2024 edition of an annual Global Consumer Media Usage Forecast released this morning by PQ Media.

While total weekly time spent with media actually declined 0.4% to 76.69 hours in the U.S., and inched up only 0.3% to 56.15 hours worldwide, PQ forecasts it will rebound again this year and continue expanding for the foreseeable future.

Top 3 Ways to Respond to the Direct Mail Postage Rate Increase Coming in July (piworld.com)

USPS postage rates are set to increase on July 10, 2022. This is a large increase. Our last postage rate increase was in August of 2021, which was also a historic rate increase. It’s not all bad news in that direct mail still is very effective and driving response, we just have to get more creative to save on postage. So, what do the new rates that mean for you? The biggest takeaway from these rate changes is that presorted first class mail and flats are growing more and more expensive.
