Ball Point Marketing

So (this probably sounds crazy) after listening to a podcast a few months ago (can't even remember the number) the guest started his own marketing company selling hand-written letters to other investors.  He used a hand-writing machine and claimed to get a great response.  

I was so curious and I ended up buying one for $250 and its actually great, its quick and the handwriting is identical to someones hand writing and it uses a regular ball point pen which is great because it smudges and creates perfect imperfections.  

I am joining Douglas Elliman as a new agent and I plan on making a letter for every single house in my town and hand delivering them during various free-time.  I thought this would be an interesting alternative to door-knocking (which I plan on doing as well, depending on pandemic).

Give me your worst criticism, trust me I want to hear it!!
