MPS - Mailing Preference Service

Bogus MPS Calls

MPS will not call a registrant of the service to ask for personal details or payment to complete a registration. If you have registered via the web, have received an e-mail confirmation and clicked on the attached link, that's it! Your name and address will be registered with the FREE MPS. We will not contact you again in relation to your registration.

If you do receive a call from someone claiming to be from the MPS or a similar sounding organisation, asking for personal information or charging you for this service, it will not be the MPS you registered with but another organisation offering similar services. You can check this by visiting the 'history' section of your web browser to see what sites you have recently visited.

If you have received a call of this nature you can send details to mps@dma.org.uk

  • How does MPS Work?

    When a company or charity wants to contact potential new customers they aim to contact people whose characteristics match their current customers.

  • How does MPS Work?

    To make sure consumers registered on the MPS are not sent the mailing, the prospect mailing list is cleaned against the MPS file.

    If there is a match between a consumer’s name and address on the mailing list and on the MPS the company knows not to send the mailing to that consumer.

    It saves companies money not to contact people who have indicated they are not interested in receiving mail.

  • How does MPS Work?

    A mailing campaign can take several weeks to prepare. Selection of the lists to be mailed is one of the first stages in preparation of a campaign.

    That’s why it can take 2 - 4 months for a registration on MPS to have a full effect, you will however notice a gradual change over this period.
