Direct Mail and Lists

Hello people of BiggerPockets,

I am just getting started and have a few questions regarding direct mail, so for all the experienced people out there I'd love to hear your opinions.

I am looking to outsource my direct mail because it is taking a long time to hand write envelopes that are being stuffed with sub-par printed out letters. It is also costing me 60 cents per letter to mail out. I am looking for a quality company to send out direct mail. I am thinking about doing postcards because the person doesn't have to open an envelope and can already see my message, and they're generally cheaper than letters, any thoughts on that logic? I'd love advice on the postcard v. letter decision. In addition to that, does anyone have any specific companies that they have loved and would highly recommend? I looked at postcardmania, got a quote and it was about 50 cents per postcard when I send out around 1,000. I'm looking at the forums and see click2mail, yellowletters, etc., but was wondering if anyone has others they recommend.

Also, I have a list of about 500 high equity absentee owners I got from listsource. I want to get a list of about 500-1000 high equity owner occupants and just want some advice on a good place to get that list? 

I'd love to hear people's opinions on this topic, as there are so many places to get lists and outsource direct mail. I'm from the Kansas City area too if that helps any.

Thank you!
