I hate inserts too - I get them in my bank statements, I get them with my
clubcard points and I find them pointless. A bit like the junk leaflets you
get pushed through your door these days with your post. I am a shaker too -
I hate reading a glossy mag and all these bits of paper start falling out of
the pages. I don't think they are an effective marketing tool, because most
people throw them away.
