When to Renew AO lists?

[Gregory Casey]

What is your take on renewing Absentee Owners direct mailing lists?

I am sending out 5 different marketing pieces to each AO over a 2-3 month period. Scrubbing my list as I get returned postcards.  How many pieces of marketing do you send out to AO until you are wasting marketing monies?

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Divide the two and convert to a percentage and then multiply that percentage by the your list count then multiply by the cost of each mail piece then divide into the cost of a new list. The answer will be the number of months you want to refresh your list. 

total Absentees/solds*.01*count*cost/cost of list=month to refresh

This sounds like computational physics!  =P

Our formula... x*y/z+n*b2/thespeed of light*z+eggsovereasy = replace your list every 6 months!
