Valassis Direct Mail

I have the same opinion of this irresponsible company that is staffed with unmotivated, complacent, uneducated full timers. Yes, Valassis is the company that puts out Redplum. They are located in Livonia MI, which is the same town that the guy who thew the beer on Ron Artest at the Pistons game is from. Its an indication of the type of staff they have. The only people that seem to know how to spell their name correctly are temp employees that apparently have very little autonomy. I have asked numerous times over the span of more than a year to have my address removed. I do not use their coupons. The publication takes up the entire mailbox, making very little room for actual mail with a purpose, such as bank statements, bills, or letters from family or friends. Now I have to throw the stuff away. It completely befuddles me that I am trying to save them costs, yet they want to ignore me. Again, I think it speaks volumes of the type of people employed there, and that includes the HR department who apparently has no idea how to hire motivated people. They don’t even understand that it’s the same advertisers every week. When you have the same message over and over and over, and you broadcast that message as frequently as Valassis does, you lose the effectiveness that your advertising had in the first place. I think what I’m going to do is start calling every company that is in Redplum and inform them that I will personally be boycotting their establishments because of the illegitimate business practices that Valassis engages in.

Valassis Direct Mail is a company behind Valassis Communications which is the company behind RedPlum, the service that fills your mailbox with ads and coupons many of use regularly receive and typically don’t want.
Valassis Communications is a media and marketing giant that started business in 1970 and it’s based in Livonia, Michigan. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, it now has about 7000 employees in 28 states and 9 countries. I really don’t have any problem with the company doing its own business and I don’t care about the company’s million dollar settlements in court but I refuse to accept the fact that I should received their advertisement in the mail without my direct request. I didn’t ask for it, I don’t want it, I don’t want to sort through it and I don’t want to throw it away because, in the end, it’s only a waste of time and a waste of paper that I even pay to get rid of along with my neighbors.
You can opt out of RedPlum advertisement by going to this link:
. It takes a minute and, according to the company, the process «will take 5 to 6 weeks». I have done it before and it works but it’s only temporary and the spam will only stop for 2 months. As I fill out the opt out page I cannot believe they force you to select an option to accept an agreement as if they own your life and it’s up to you to decide not to receive spam. WTF is that? I have the right not to receive spam and I should not have to opt out of it!
If you know of a way to remove yourself from RedPlum forever let me know. Most of all review Valassis Direct Mail and share with your family and friends my review so that they know what to do to opt out of RedPlum advertisement. Hopefully, one of these days a gigantic meteorite falls on the headquarters of the company so that it can put it into oblivion. If you don’t want to opt out of RedPlum feel free to stack the papers and dump them in front of the closest Valassis Direct Mail location near you along with your entire neighborhood. Maybe we should start a Facebook group and gather as much paper as we can, then dump it in front of the Newark location.
