Some stores do this.  They have a stack of 3x5 cards to fill out
and a bin to put them in, and *presto* you're on their mailing
list.  I would think this works very nice for them, it puts those
people on their list *who want to be on it*, rather than
those who happened to buy something (and may be from out of
town and never return).

Last time I was in Radio Smack, I just told the clerk that
I was already on their mailing list. (Which was actually true,
and I sure don't want to get *two* copies of their ads!) It
worked!
