QuestionDoes anyone have any input on whether a full-color post card is any better than the simple one-color ink postcards I've seen?

I would think it would be better to go with a color laser printer rather than using an inkjet.

Size and color matter when using text cards.

I am going to propose to them 2 signs 6 months and I will pay up front and then put a phone number on it that I know came from the bench sign.What colors do you think?

Personally, I am not a big fan of the personal photo because it gives people a chance to exclude you based on color, looks, perceived race and attitude, etc.

We're not getting a very good response rate and would like to improve what we are doing.We also are wondering if using different colored paper is a good strategy or if you should stick to one color.Thanks all.Eric

This includes the initial phone call, driving out and meeting the owner at their house, follow-up until I have signed contract back, and the BS associated with title problems, seller's getting cold feet and trying to back out of contracts, and all the other stuff that comes up from contract signing to actually settling on the house.BEST PERFORMING MAIL PIECE:Handwritten letter on yellow lined paper with handwritten invitation (A6) sized envelope in random colors (pink, light blue, yellow, etc)I have graphics on BOTH the letter and the envelope- things like dollar signs, stars, arrows, houses, etc- whatever random stuff I could think of to make the letter more eye catching and 'WTF' eliciting when opened by the homeowner, so they would actually read it.SECOND BEST PERFORMING MAIL PIECE:5.5 x 11 inch yellow post card (big post card) with somewhat handwritten looking font.  

@ Dev HornDo you find the green, yellow, and red colors get better response rates?

They are divided and color coded according.
