The one lead that did pan out was a prefoeclosure so I started targeting those with  typed mail and postcards and now I'm not getting anything.

Hello BP,I want to embark on my first direct mail marketing campaign using postcards, and I wanted to see if I could get a recommendation on postcard size based on what seems to get the most attention/calls.

I usually send out postcards but I was thinking I should try something different.

That could be anything from bandit signs to mailing postcards or letters, to posting ads  on Craiglist, etc.You'll find your buyers by talking to other investors and finding out who actually BUYS houses (guys with CASH - harder to find than you might think).  

Lately, I've been doing postcards with my own personal touch through yellowletters' website and it has been working well. 

Spend more money on snail mail (yellow letters and postcards).5.

If you hard sell on the postcards in these areas, you will get A LOT of calls, but the deals are not easy in any way to complete as many multis have built-in tenants who do not want to leave.

I don't know if there is a best way but I can say that the post card has been the most effective for us.

The seller called me from a postcard the neighbor had passed along.

This wasn't from bandit signs (I don't do them) it was just from post card mailings.ALWAYS be professional.
