Here's one of my off-line example sending over-sized postcards to entire zip codes using bulk mail.5,000 post cards mailed3 to 9 calls$1,100 in marketing cost1 deal completedI sent a total of 15,000 (5,000 x 3 mailings) post cards and each time I acquired 1 deal, (1 major rehab, 1 paint & clean-up, and 1 wholesale).

I am debating on wether to mail to 1000 people once or 500 people with a 3 tier approach (letter, zip letter, postcard) they are about the same cost.

This means I would need to mail out either 1,200 or 2,500 post cards a year to recoup my initial investment.

When I was an active investor my main mode of lead gen for motivated sellers was my website www.housewise.com and direct mail postcards.

Im interested in mailing postcards to absentee and/ or motivated homeowners.

Any good postcard companies out there with the "mail merge" feature besides Click2Mail?

Maybe a refrigerator magnet or postcard - something they can keep with your name & number.

I buy a couple thousand names at a time and get an average 11% response rate on my postcards (range 7.4% to 13.7% response).

I'm going to send a follow up letter a month after I send the original, as well as a postcard after that.In the meantime, I would like to start to market to a new group as well to test out different prospects and see which ones I'm getting the best responses to.

or maybe post cards?
