Beginning Marketing

[Terry Royce]

I am looking to put some money into marketing. Ive looked into signs, direct mail (with data from melissdata.com) etc.

I am wondering what marketing is best for starting out. Signs are illegal in my city. People still use them and get away to some extent in the rougher areas. But I don't want to dump a bunch of money into signs to be have them taken down, and potentially fined.

Ive used craigslist but have only got in contact with other investors, and have not had motivated sellers contact me.

I was wondering what is a good starting point for marketing. I have about 500-700 that I would like to stick into marketing (Just as a starting point over the next 2 months). I just want to make sure my initial marketing campaign money is used wisely.

Also, what email marketing system do you all use? I was planning on using constant contact, but am researching others. For now I am just using my email list I compiled and put everyone in the BCC column.
