Return to Sender and Vacant Letters

[Ben G.]

Can anyone help me?

I have heard of marketers reaching out to those individuals when the owner's address comes back as a RTS because of the address being vacant, unable to forward, or not deliverable as addressed.

Can someone who follows up on these RTS leads tell me what you do with your postcards or yellow letters that get returned when the owner's address is vacant?  

I have heard of people using intelius to look up the owner's current address.  Is this reliable?  It sound's like a tedious process, but definitely something that can be outsourced.

Is anyone out there doing this, if so, what sort of system or process do you follow to find or contact the owners of the property if the mailing gets returned because of the mailing address being vacant, unable to forward, or not deliverable.

If you do use Intelius to find up to date information on people, are you sending them a new letter to the correct owner address, or what if the owner's address on intelius is the same one that got returned?

Thanks for the help!
