Your mailbox may be getting a lot more "junk mail" soon. The New York Times reports the United States Postal Service is working to greatly increase its direct-mail advertising customer base. That means more so-called "junk mail" deliveries to millions of mailboxes. That also means a lot more revenue for the struggling USPS.
The Times says Postal Service officials estimate increased mail marketing could create more than a billion dollars in new revenue every year. The report says nearly half of all mail delivered in the U.S. is advertising.
