Direct mail handwritten letters

[Nick Seginowich]

I've spent a lot of my time handwriting letters recently and it's making me think, would it really make that much of a difference to just photo copy the same letter and fill in the different addresses and names? Other wise i'll just start paying my roommates about $1 a letter to handwrite them for me. Any thoughts?

@Nick Seginowich When I started investing, I would print my letters with a handwritten font and my wife and I would handwrite the envelopes. We could get through about 500 a week. That worked well until I started getting deals. Once that happened, I no longer had the time to keep doing it inhouse, so I started outsourcing it to a direct mail company. So my recommendation is to do it this way if you have the time. Otherwise, which it sounds like what you would rather do, is have someone else do it. If this is the case, partner with a DM company that knows what they are doing and provide some guidance as it sounds like you are starting out. DM is not difficult but it does take time to see results. I hope that helps.
