LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Colleague, Many of us in business, particularly marketers, can become enamored with the next new thing. We sometimes forget that proven methods are often the most effective. And we totally miss that “old” tools are becoming “new” again. An example of this is mail, one of the most trusted and successful methods of acquiring and retaining customers. Despite the proliferation of electronic communication, paper-based mail continues to thrive, and can have a symbiotic relationship with other communication channels. In this issue of Pivotal Thoughts, you’ll find insights from leading chief executives, examinations of misguided predictions, and information on how smart companies are using mail as a key element of their integrated marketing and customer communication efforts. Our goal is to provide senior executives with important and practical information for running their businesses more efficiently and effectively.

The Company reports measures such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and Adjusted EPS and adjusted income from continuing operations to exclude the impact of special items like restructuring charges, tax adjustments, goodwill and asset write-downs, and costs related to recent dispositions and market exits. While these are actual Company expenses, they can mask underlying trends associated with its business. Such items are often inconsistent in amount and frequency and as such, the adjustments allow an investor greater insight into the current underlying operating trends of the business.
