A recent analysis shows that mailing catalogs to reactivation candidates is financially unsustainable. With a demand price of $1.30 per book and an advertising cost of $0.90, the profit calculation yields a $0.38 loss per mailed item, translating to a $456,000 annual deficit when 100,000 prospects are mailed twelve times. Rising print costs, declining response rates, and organic response percentages of 70‑90% further erode the value of catalog campaigns. The author recommends limiting physical mailings to the top 10% of high‑value customers while shifting the remaining 90% to digital channels.
