Hello Everyone,
This last Wednesday I started my first yellow letter mailing campaign. I sent out 260 pieces of mail (I bought a list of 900 which is a mix of 424 owner occupied homes and 476 absentee owners ) and I've already been called ten times, but so far no motivated sellers. Next Wednesday I will send out about 230 mail pieces. Each week I will be sending out around 250 letters to keep calls flowing consistently.
I currently make my own yellow letters with a printer and they actually look like I hand wrote them. As for the invitation envelopes I personally hand write them so they look more personal and get a better response rate. These are my cost
Postage has two rates one is local mailing and other is non local mailing and they are precancelled standard stamps
local mailing: .25 per piece non local: .301 per piece
yellow lined paper: .026 per piece
Envelope: .054 per piece
Ink for printer: not sure I haven't used up an ink cartridge yet but I'm guessing it will be .04 per piece
Total: local mailings cost .37 per piece and for non local mail it cost .421 per piece.
If anyone has anyone has any questions feel free to reply to this post. I'm writing it to help others who don't know how to go about things yet or need help.
I'll keep you guys posted on my progress
