Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that Podio webforms have no form validation?  That's one of the most foundational things you learn in software development and I can't imagine having a form on my website that gives a user free reign over the values entered.

Has anyone else found a creative solution to this?

@Luke Holcomb Just wanted to see how your marketing efforts are going in Chattanooga?  I'm in Nashville and am about to start some marketing of my own.  What areas of Chattanooga are you mailing to and what has been your experience so far?  Did you go with yellow letters or post cards?

Anyone have experience with "pricing scout" by forsalebyowner.com?  

@Devan Mcclish If whoever you are using was going to charge you $2 per letter, then you're probably overpaying for post cards too.  You may want to look into it.  I think I read ~$.60 per card is normal.

@Devan Mcclish  If you're paying $2 per letter you're getting ripped off.

@Devan Mcclish Correct me if I'm missing something here, but 500 mailers a month comes out to $2 a piece for yellow letters.  That seems pretty high.  What am I missing?

@Devan Mcclish  Can you tell me who you are using and how you got to the 500 figure?  Just curious to see how that shakes out.

@Rene Martinez  Great videos Rene!  thanks for the recommendation!

@Devan Mcclish  My plan is to have a company do it.  Not interested in stuffing that many envelopes.

@Devan Mcclish  Yeah, my initial plan is to invest $1,000 per month for 6 months on the direct mail piece.  I'm hoping I can recoup my initial investment off of that, and then continue marketing from there.  If I don't get any deals off of that, then it will come down to a decision on whether or not I'm willing to keep pushing...or I guess, more importantly, whether or not my wife is willing to keep pushing.  

So you sent mailers to 37174 and 38401 and there was a lot of competition out there?
