marketing mail

Ads by post

Marketing mail is unsolicited promotional material sent through postal services—advertisements, catalogs, coupons, and solicitations from businesses seeking customers.

Also called junk mail or direct mail, it arrives without being requested: The mailbox was stuffed with marketing mail.

The term is more neutral than junk mail, often used by postal services and advertisers themselves.
