We figure each mail piece costs about 85 cents when we either purchase a list, create our own list, pay for the labor, paper, stamp and envelope.85 cents is not a lot of money, but 20,000 mail pieces will cost $1700 and then when you don't get one good lead (and that is common for 20,000 letters) then that $1700 eats deep into your pocket when you can get thousands of leads for free.One problem with direct mail is I get no less than 3 letters every day of the week from investors wanting to buy my properties.
