About Nemoa

History of NEMOA

NEMOA is a non-profit 501(c)(6) trade organization.

Founded in 1947 as the New England Mail Order Association, NEMOA began with a few pioneering mail-order companies like Johnny Appleseed’s and Brookstone, who came together to share insights and strengthen their industry. Over the past 75+ years, NEMOA has grown beyond its New England roots and broadened its membership to include a diverse range of catalog and e-tail companies, along with suppliers and service providers supporting direct-to-consumer businesses. Today, as the National Etailing & Marketing Organization of America, NEMOA is one of the nation’s most active multichannel merchant associations, dedicated to educating, connecting, and inspiring marketers. Through biannual educational summits and year-round member resources, NEMOA supports the evolving needs of direct marketers across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. While membership spans over 200 companies, all are welcome at NEMOA events, fostering a community where industry professionals can exchange ideas, overcome challenges, and innovate their strategies.

NEMOA’s member companies come from all across the US, Canada and Europe; they are catalogers, retailers, e-marketers, suppliers and more.
