yellow letters and list source

[Duriel Taylor]

Hello Everyone, 

As I prepare to use yellowletters.com and listsource.com, I have formulated a question that I can not find an answer to. Ok so these mailing marketing services (yellowletters) do they provide me with "motivated sellers", to mail to directly? In their questionnaire, they ask me for my desired/potential receivers; divorcees, absentees owners, etc. If they provide the individuals and send them the post card or yellow letter directly, why would I need to use listsource? From what I understand, listsource provides me with potential names and or addresses of people whom I could contact directly then I would have to send them the marketing material(s). Also is the postage prices/cost included in the price of the yellowpages? For instance, its $150 per month at listsource.com; $.20 per lead, which comes with 750 leads per month. But they do not mention the envelope nor the stamps cost. The way I figured out per monthly with listsource.com is listed below. 

$150 (750 leads) + $.41(750 stamps)= $307.50 + $59.50 (2000 each envelopes for $59.50)= $517 per month. 

Could someone give me their feedback to ensure I am analyzing my month expenses correctly? I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback. Thank you all in advance. Take care.

 I'm reviving this thread and hoping there's still some life in it.  I have read through other posts as well,  and I can't really tell whether people who use yellowletters.com only use it for the marketing material and use a data source which is then sent to YL.com; or if they mostly order both items from YL.com. 

I already know what parameters I'm looking for,  for my leads.  I just can't see if paying ListSource for the data is cheaper than getting it from YL.com. 

BP - what is the verdict on this million dollar question?? 

I look forward to your wisdom!

 Buy from YL.com if they can provide you cheaper. YL.com will provide you the exact same list as ListSource so go with cheaper source. I would be surprised if YL.com can't beat the price from ListSource. If not, there are tons of other companies that can get you ListSource data for lot cheaper than ListSource.com. Please feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.

I see you got your tech/marketing company launched  great work... will have to check it out
