The amount of junk mail we usually receive in the post has fallen. Companies from credit card firms to telecom giants are sending out fewer items of unwanted post.
Around 3 billion items of junk mail were sent out in the last year, however the amount of money companies are spending on junk mail was reported to be down by 6.2%.
Finance firms account for £523million of the total spent on junk mail. These companies have cut back by 3.5%.
Mail order firms who account for £353million cut spending on junk mail buy a massive 20%.
