Direct Mailing
Direct mailing is still a powerful and very effective marketing channel especailly for B2B in Japan. Japan takes opt-out system so it is not illegal to send direct mail to businesses and consumers using non-opt-in data.
However, since the enforcement of the protection of Personal Information in 2005, Japanese consumers have become sensitive to their personall information used for direct mail so companies hesitate to send direct mail to consumers using non-opt-in data sourcing from other companies.
Instead, there are companies who provide direct mailing service for other companies for advertising using their opt-in customer database so such direct mail services have been popular for direct mailing to consumer. We are sales agents for those companies so please feel free to inquire us for direct mailing service to businesses and consumers in Japan. We can introduce one of the best media or channels for your marketing.

In Japan, only opt-in email addresses are allowed to use for marketing.
