What's wrong with this picture?

At a time when banking is done on line and we communicate via the internet, why do we still get return address stickers in the mail from organizations seeking contributions?

You may send something through the mail once in a while but do these mostly non-profit organizations really think these stickers are worth a contribution? My guess is they'd probably net more money by saving the cost of printing and mailing the stickers.

In our house they go right into the shredder.

Here's a money saving idea for AARP. Today, Aug. 25, we received our membership cards and renewal statement. Our dues are due Jan.1, 2012. We'll pay in December. But we can expect four months of reminders between now and then. This goes on every year. It's annoying. And it has to be expensive. After we pay they'll send us validation stickers for our cards. Another costly mailing.

I'm thinking of mailing these suggestions to the offenders. Using their return address stickers, of course.
