The NMOA was founded in 1972 by mail order legend Paul Muchnick in order to help small to midsize businesses and entrepreneurs involved in mail order and direct marketing. Until that time, there was no organized effort to help the proverbial "small guy."

We are an entrepreneurial type of association and network. We do no lobbying or industry watch-dogging. (NMOA members must, however, conduct themselves in a professional and honest manner to remain members or advertisers.) We concentrate on bringing people together for the purposes of conducting business, creating sales, and opening up new business opportunities. We are here to help people who are in any way tied into this industry to conduct more business at less cost.

The NMOA is comprised of the President and Chief Manager, John D. Schulte, his staff, and a large (and growing) number of nationally prominent industry experts, volunteers all, who act as editorial advisors, writers and, authors.

The mission of the NMOA is to provide education, information, ideas, and business connections to small and midsize direct marketers around the world. We serve as the industry "hub," where all direct marketing professionals can come to conduct business and find new business opportunities.
