best effective marketing in kc

[LaShonda Atkinson]

hello everyone.  i am a new wholesaler here in kansas city.  im trying to figure out what is the best marketing strategy to use here.  since kc is so small it seems like everyone is doing the same thing as far as sending direct mail to absentee owners (everytime i talk to a potential seller he say he has gotten several letters about selling the home).  i put out bandit signs in the northland and in certain areas they got taken down, vandalized etc.  some areas they didn't. Its only been a couple of weeks so i am trial and error rite now.   i only put them out on the weekends.  i plan to market kansas city kansas and missouri.  just wanted to get some pointers on what is working in the area.  I haven't set up my direct mail marketing yet. unsure who i should target. Trying to get started and wanted some pointers thats all.  Please help!!!

What should i do for marketing in the kansas city area that works?

Do yellow letters work well in the kansas city area?

Do post cards work well?

Also, where is everyone getting the bandits signs for $1 each?

Are they one sided or 2?

What size are they?

I hand wrote mine out and i got some calls but they are starting to fade due to the sun so i want to order some professional ones.  Dirtcheapsigns have the cheapest i have found but they are not $1 for 18x24.
