You can get a few hundred business cards printed up for $20 or less, with your contact info and even some brief bullet points of what you do, then leave a few at bus stops, laundry mats, barber shops, hand them out when networking, leave them at the door or mailbox of the houses you've noted when driving for dollars, etc... same with postcards.  

I am asking mostly because I feel that every postcard or letter that is sent out in direct marketing uses this phrase.

Some questions for those more experienced than me:1)  postcards vs letters - which has better response rate?

Other guys use dealmachine i think to grab and easily send a postcard but i use another system for that.

I think thats one reason so many lie about their names on the postcards and whatnot. 

I've sent out a couple hundred postcards so far, but haven't gotten any response.

Is the end result better or worse than postcards?

I bought a list from ListSource and sent out postcards to a few hundred absentee landlords in the area where I want to invest.

It's 49/mo and you can drive around, take your own pictures, send out a postcard, and get their email and phone number (some of which is correct, some of which is not).

Hello BP,I recently sent a yellow postcard to 439 absentee owners.
