Credit card companies made less use of direct mail in 2009, but life and health insurers made more use of direct mail.

Researchers in the Chicago office of Mintel Comperemedia, a unit of Mintel International Group Ltd., says direct-mail life insurance offers increased 9% in 2009 and health insurance offers increased 4%.

Property-casualty offers dropped 5%, and credit card offers dropped about one-third.
