Which sites do you buy lists from?

[Matthew Charron]

I'm looking to buy a list to start sending out letters. What sites do you use to purchase your lists? What makes you use that site? Better pricing or better information? Have you ever sent out hand written post cards or just letters? Thinking about writing the letters myself for now to get the experience and use my limited funds to target more people rather than spending some on someone else sending them at the moment. Thanks!

Many investors use listsource.com. I have my mail provider pull lists through listsource for me. He gets better pricing than I could. When I first started out years ago, I did some of the mailing myself, but I did not handwrite the letters. I used a handwriting font for the letters, and then actually hand wrote the envelopes. That is what gets people to open them. When you get a letter in the mail and it is hand addressed you wonder who it is from and open it.

Setting up mail merge, printing the letters, stuffing and sealing the envelopes, hand writing the envelopes and then stamping them is VERY time consuming. That time could better spent on other tasks and activities in my opinion.

Check out REsimpli. This is who i use for my direct mail and have been happy with them. Get with @Sharad M.. He can give you all the pricing and see how it compares to doing it yourself.
