What We Do

We come together to tap into the knowledge and experience of our entire group both daily in our members only message forum and yearly at our fun and information-packed annual conference. We bring questions ranging from how to hire and pay sales people to what programs are you using to track your sales and everything in between. We also get together as a group for monthly online Zoom calls to discuss topics affecting our businesses and to receive training from nationally known sales and business coaches.

Why ICOMDA exists
So owners do not have to operate on an island.
Independent direct mail publishing is a proven business. But running one alone means reinventing every wheel — finding vendors, testing campaigns, pricing inventory, staying current on what works.
ICOMDA exists to end that isolation. It is a private network where established publishers and trusted vendors share what actually works, accelerate each other's execution, and grow together.

Each year the conference changes the trajectory of my business.

Who our members are
Trusted, established local business owners.
These are not newcomers testing the waters. ICOMDA members are invested operators — people who have built real audiences, real advertiser relationships, and real community presence across their markets.
01
Established in their markets
Members are not startup publishers. They have existing circulation, existing advertisers, and a track record in their local or regional market. The network is built on real experience, not ambition alone.
02
Vested in community success
ICOMDA members serve local businesses in their communities. Their success is tied to advertiser success. That alignment makes them better partners, better networkers, and better collaborators inside the association.
03
Located across the country
Members span multiple states and markets. That geographic breadth means the network brings diverse market conditions, media formats, and local insights — so what one publisher learns in Ohio applies to another in Texas.
What makes the network valuable
Four things you cannot replicate on your own.
Every pillar of ICOMDA membership is designed to compound. The longer you are in the network, the more valuable each of these becomes.
01
Peer experience
Direct access to owners and decision-makers who have already solved the problems you are facing. Real answers from real operators, not theory.
02
Training
A growing library of practical video training built by publishers, for publishers. Every tactic is field-tested in real direct mail businesses.
03
Conference access
An annual event built specifically for independent direct mail publishers. Every session is actionable. Every room is filled with decision-makers.
04
Vendor access
A curated directory of vetted service providers — printing, tracking, data, digital, and production — already tested and trusted by your peers.
