All our postcards are sent Standard Bulk Rate and that is typical to add that line b/c the PO does not want to deal with returns on that bulk rate mail.

Hey BP members! I'm about to increase my marketing with direct mail. I've heard other investors say that they "hit" their targeted list over the course of a few months to 5 months. How many people (on average) do ...

Hey Guys, I was wondering what others have found to be the highest quality list when mailing or lead source...I know I have to go through a ton of phone calls with absentee postcards and a lot less with calls from the inheritance list.

I've even sent post cards, advertising the property, to individuals who bought property in the area within the last 6 months.

I have contacted the agents I know personally with great results but I would like to introduce myseld and my service to other local agents.I have had limited success with mailing post cards.

I am planning to get an absentee owner list for 2 or 3 zip codes in my area (Dallas), with >50% equity via Listsource, and start a 6 month campaign, mailing once per month, alternating yellow letter and postcard.

I know I have a great lead when people call and repeat lines from the postcard - over time, you can tell what resonates with people and gets them to call...As far as the MEDIUM - the 2 best producers are pay-per-click and direct mail to owners with equity....

Also just a thought to put out there....Does anyone do in-home mailing and if so how much on average does it cost to buy the printer, ink cartridge, and paper material needed to make post cards and also print regular white letters??

With my renters, less than 5% come from CL...the rest are from other sources.If you're going to keep doing this, get with a great local printer and have a nice postcard size marketing piece done...front & back.
