When doing a mailing sequence to our potential sellers, how many total mailers is best to send out to each prospect and how often to mail out the letters, postcards, etc.?

Should I use yellow letters or postcards?

I've done Driving for Dollars, postcards,wholesalers and the MLS.

Off market opportunities are out there, but as more and more people buy off-the-shelf marketing and data, for instance absentee owner lists and yellow letters and postcards, property owners are being pounded with mail that only seems to serve to desensitize them, leave them numb and unresponsive.Today's successful investors utilize smart marketing strategies to identify off-market opportunities and multiple media (mail, call, knock) to reach and convert prospective sellers. 

best use of $300:100 bandit signs or as many postcards (direct mail) I can get for $300?

Neil, why dont you try what i did and work with a company to do a marketing campaign for the areas you are looking to invest in. this can be a great way to get GOOD deals that your wouldnt get otherwise, down side to that is that many people are sending letters and post cards and what not, so if the area you are looking at is saturated with those already your response may not be as good. but if you pick a good area you will do great, my partner and i picked up 3 properties in 1 month. also if you are having a hard time finding deals, you can always find the people with the deals and help them finance it, you would make money and you would get to see how the process works a bit before you have to do it yourself. private money lending can be very profitable. and there are several ways to structure the deal to make it work for you and the person your lending it to. hope this gives you more ideas...

You can go knock on doors, buy lists of people that are in pre-foreclosure with 50% equity, send postcards to people that own their homes outright, etc.

Tired looking, but not war zone plex owners get a postcard from me.  

Hello Everyone,I am thinking of printing my own postcards because I want them mailed quicker than printing companies can print and email them without having to pay large fees.If you self print and mail your postcards how do you do it?

The dead chicken is a new low to a simple post card!
