Hey BP, so I'm getting ready to start my direct mail campaign (for wholesaling properties- targeting absentee owners), and I will be using yellow letters.

Just make sure you don't yellow letters are the way to go.  

I'm an owner-occupant in South Philly and recieve about 2 yellow letters per month.

With this list you I am following 1. small text postcard2. yellow letter3. lg text postcard 4. typed letter5. greeting card6. zip letterI found this somewhere on BP but I can remember exactly where (would love to give credit) ... mail the list every 4 weeks for 6 months which would be 6 times around.

@Michael Quarles Beautiful example piece(the yellow one).  

@Adrienne Bryson  when you say you tell sellers you USUALLY pass them on your inferring that you close most of the time.. when in fact you probably never buy any property.this is the crux of the matter. selling RE without a license.. and the issue is the states just don't have the man power to crack down on this.. some are though, Ohio,  FLA,, CA  at the rate of wholesalers messing up transactions I suspect within 3 to 5 years this activity will be curbed quite a bit and you folks will HAVE to Have your funding to make these deals. you WILL have to buy them then resell them.like I have said in this post 2 to 3% can make a living the rest just blow whatever money they have on yellow letters.. and never do a thing.... its a tough business.Its also very very regionalized.. if your in an area of low value RE in an area which in the US are usually filled with owners that are regular joes and not really very astute to the RE game. its prime grounds for fast talking wholesalers.I actually buy a lot of property in a lot of markets.. well over 30 to 40 a month.. some of my vendors get them from wholesalers occasionally .. but most do not.

BUT that is not all.. eye catching BUT not look like a generic random spam mailer.If mailers have been yellow for centuries and you are the first to send pink mailers, sure they will be noticed and read.But today?

If you are using actual yellow sheets torn from a pad, that's 16lbs at the most, and I have terminally jammed many machines....I'd suggest switching to regular yellow paper and print the lines on it before blowing up a printer.Most DM companies will be willing to use any sort of envelope you are willing to pay for.

btw yellow letters saves me so many hours.

This box in yellow seems like it would be a good place for a link to Member Perks.
