Starting up Starters and Start-ups Amherst Direct is the boutique direct mail & catalog marketing consultancy serving e-commerce companies ready to test the viability of making money with direct mail or catalogs for the first time. Before our clients invest in hiring their own direct mail talent in house, it makes sense to test direct mail first and find out whether it is viable for their business. That's where we come in. Our strategic advisory and turnkey solutions services get e-commerce companies, both large and small, up and running quickly. When it comes to direct mail, we help starters start up, and start-ups start up. The People We are Christopher and Dianne, two direct mail fanatics with over 50 years of deep direct mail and catalog experience at your service. Founded in 2012, our team has been working in direct mail and catalog marketing for decades. Direct mail is fun! We enjoy serving our clients. Small is Big Unlike large agencies, we have zero employee turn over. We’re in this game for life, so you benefit from the longevity and continuity of our relationship with you. Unlike large agencies, you are always talking to us, the principals, the people at the top, and not account managers, who can come and go, jumping from agency to agency, or from agency to clients. If you’re like all of our clients, you were recommended to us by one of our clients. Amherst? Our name comes from where we were originally based: Amherst, Massachusetts. We are now located in northern California where we can better serve our predominantly San Francisco Bay Area clients.
