The New England Mail Order Association is a non-profit 501(c)(6) trade organization.

NEMOA was founded in 1947 as the New England Mail Order Association. Today, NEMOA is one of the nation's most active multichannel merchant associations dedicated exclusively to the catalog/multichannel industry.

Our mission is "Creating Community in a Multichannel World". We create community through two educational conferences each year, and on our website where you'll find links to member organizations, updates on industry news, job postings, and an active message board.

NEMOA member companies come from all across the US and Canada - you don't need to be from New England to become a member. And you don't need to be a member to attend a NEMOA event.

HISTORY OF NEMOA

NEMOA was founded in 1947 by a handful of pioneering New England mail order companies - Johnny Appleseed's, Brecks of Boston, Brookstone, and Deerskin Trading among them - as a professional group for discussions, community building, and information exchange. Over the past 61 years, NEMOA has not only grown beyond New England, but its membership has also become more diversified, including printers, list brokers, service bureaus and other suppliers to mail order businesses. Yet its focus remains catalog and direct e-tail companies, large and small. Today, with over 270 corporate members from across the country, NEMOA is one of the nation's largest professional organizations dedicated exclusively to the catalog/e-tail industry.
