And you knew that if you sent a postcard specifically talking about tax liens to that list that you just developed, many of the folks would get pissed off, curse your family, and never ever think about allowing you to help them solve their problems.You are also aware that letters are an expensive endeavor, both financially and time wise, as you have developed a pretty sizable list of prospects.

The job of the letter or postcard is to get noticed in the stack,.. then start to build a sentiment of know , like and trust.

First off let me say thank you to all the members of BP.A big thank you, I have especially learned from @Sharon Vornholt @michaelq @aaronmazzrillo @jerrypuckett I want to be sure my advertising $$ don't go to waist.Budget:  $1200/monthPlan:  Simple Yellow Letter w/postcard follow up 1x per month

You show great tenacity to not go home and sulk, rather deflect it like you were coated in teflon.Next time you are told to &^%$ off, just remember not to engage, smile & leave, then jot down the address and send them a series of hand written letters & post cards every week for a couple months.

Hello,In My Experience...DC is the Hottest and still most up and coming/stable market in my opinion.I've only flipped properties in DC, butIm from Springfield VA.Northern VA is much harder to come across GREAT Fix/Flip or wholesale deals.DC and PG county are more abundant in Distressed Old full of Equity properties..This is why everyone and their mom markets to those areas using these boring postcards or letters.Which means.....you must have unique marketing strategies that work to get Real Deals ;) Would love to connect with you.DM me if interested.ThanksRaphaelAce Equity Pros

Or is it just more efficient to have the mail service just print the postcards and you do the physical mailing work yourself?

Any advertisement where someone sent out a post card that said "Now is the time to sell" could be called into question.

I will also send a postcard to those I have already sent letters to.  

They will mail you a post card with your court date within 1 week.

You locate a property and can take a picture of it, add it to your 'Portfolio', and then pick a Yellow Letter backend that will send a mailer to that property as well as get them on a reoccurring postcard mailer.
