First Direct Mail and Marketing Campaign - Kansas City

[Sidney King]

I just launched my first direct mail campaign and I figure I'll post my progress here.  I pulled a list 544 absentee owners  and I plan to mail them once a month over the next 6 months.  Initially I tried to write and address these letters by hand but eventually ended up hiring a company to write and mail these letters for me.  I paid about $515 to have this done and I'm totally open to suggestions on cutting the price down.  Assuming I find a few good deals I plan to wholesale and possibly keep a couple for rentals.

While I wait for the letters to print and send I plan to get involved in my local REI/Meet up groups, drive for dollars, and do everything that I can to promote myself over social media. Are there any other suggestions for what I can do to find leads while I wait? Thanks in advance!
