HISTORY

In July of 2002 partners Kurt Johnson and Phlayne Anderson gave notice and left their corporate jobs to start a new direct marketing business.

The core vision was to provide affordable and turnkey mailings for small businesses; a service where you could easily create and mail as few as 1 postcard.

The parent company of DirectMailTools.com is Hammer Direct, LLC. Today Hammer Direct has 20 employees supporting a number of websites including  DirectMailTools.com. The business continues to thrive despite The Great Recession with over 2,000 customers and over 10 million pieces of mail annually.
