Look in your yellow pages under mailing lists,If they can’t help you then punch in dataquick in your search engine.

Has anyone used direct mailing of postcards or letters over a specific area with much success? If so, how would I get started? What can I expect to pay, etc… Any websites or information would be appreciated. Flyers on doorknobs is too time consuming. Since I work full time, I need to be more efficient and it might be worth it.
Thanks.

Out of state owners are the best.I close one deal every other month from this marketing alone.I re-mail 6 times to the same 3000 out of state owners.

Direct mail does work, but you have to be consistent. You can’t just do one mailing and stop, it has to be ongoing. First, you need a mailing list. You can buy a list from list brokers or you can approach a realtor about supplying you a list of expired listing going back 2 to 6 months. And since you work full-time you will need to farm your work out. Flyers on doors is a great idea if you pay the neighborhood kids to do it.
Good luck.

What would you estimate the cost to be for each mailing?

Thanks,

I start out with 500 and re-mail ever month for 6 months.After the 3rd mailing I add another 500 to the list so they overlap and so on.The first 500 cost me about $200 a month with letters,stamps,etc and the cost goes up from there.
