The Mail Media Centre is a free source of independent information and innovation for direct mail and multi-channel marketers - brought to you by Royal Mail. Our website and our Infobank centre in Stukeley Street, London WC1, both offer compelling creative, expert advice, and the latest industry research and consumer data. We've also organised a series of free one-day workshops at key UK locations - Leeds on 22 September, Bristol on 6 October, Manchester on 3 November, and Edinburgh on 17 November. Spaces are limited so book your place at www.mmc.co.uk/events today.

Boost sales and ROI on integrated marketing campaigns and build brand awareness.

Register with our website - it's free - and you'll get unlimited access to more than 500 research reports, consumer insights and case studies from our extensive library. You'll also find expert advice on every aspect of direct marketing and how to create a successful multi-channel campaign. If you need a report or data that's specific to your campaign or industry, make an appointment to visit our Infobank - 0800 917 0640 - and we'll show you how to use the free media and data tools.

Direct mail increases the effectiveness of almost all media when it's used as part of an integrated campaign. Join us for one of our regular IDM and CIM-accredited masterclasses on using mail successfully as part of the media mix. We also offer workshops on topical subjects for marketers such as 'Greening your DM' and 'Permissions marketing'. These are free for our registered users.
