Dealing with return to sender mail?

Keep seeing my cards coming back to me. Thinking about trying a skip trace for my best leads or something. Maybe phone calls? I send lot of post cards to owners who list their mailing address as the house I want to put under contract. I think that some are abandoned. Suggestions?

I've heard of findtheseller.This one looks new and is a bit cheaper?

Could be a start up?

Jack - I don't know your level of experience. If you're a seasoned veteran, please forgive me.

Returned mail can be gold! In the mailing world, anything undeliverable is called a "nixie". I shouldn't reveal this secret, but I've actually devised mail campaigns intended to create nixies, merely for the purpose of identifying houses whose owners do not receive mail.

Then the mailers job is to quickly and efficiently identify the best way to reach the owner(s) or parties with interests by skip tracing them.

The objective, of course, is to find the anomalies. My business has, for many years, been finding needles in haystacks on a serial basis.
