The NMOA was founded in 1972 by mail order pioneer Paul Muchnick in order to help small to midsize businesses and entrepreneurs involved, or wishing to be involved, in mail order and direct marketing.

We are an association with an entrepreneurial mind set.

We concentrate on bringing people together for the purposes of developing 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 mission of the NMOA is to provide education, information, develop new business concepts and ideas, and create business connections for small and mid-size direct marketers around the world.
