Direct mail marketing company referral.

[Steve Maginnis]

Hello.  I'm looking to purchase mailing addresses for non owner occupied properties in the Charlotte area.  I know there are many companies, but fear many may have bogus addresses or owner occupied properties, etc.  I intend to send post cards and use bulk rate postage.  My understanding is that if I send first rate, any bad addresses will be returned to me, but not with bulk rate, so I will not know which addresses are bad.  In the past, I have done the hard work myself, going through the GIS system, and sending out actual letters with stamps.  I want to put out a much larger mailing, maybe 1000 or more at a time, so thought I would give this a try.   Doing it myself takes a very long time. Does anyone have any experience with a good company they would share?  Or even some general feedback or tips?  Thanks in advance.
