We won't begin our first campaign until January however we plan to do montly mail, around 1000 pieces and we hope to use a variation on lumpy mail, yellow letters, business letters, and post cards. 

I do think there may be something to this strategy or variations of it, but also agree that it is probably overly complicated and certainly not the panacea that some are marketing it to be.

I hand write the envelopes and letter, and have not tried to reinvent the wheel when it comes to effective marketing.I can tell you from my personal experience that any time I have tried to change that, hand written envelope printed letter or any variation my response has gone down.Set a goal each week on how many you want to send out, then divide that by days and you will know how many you need to do daily.Also, your letter does not need to be a long one.

Call me here; 999-999-9999"I would also include a business card...you can include any variation of the message, just let them know who you are and what you want with a call to actionGood luck! 

@Tyron White I think you will find a wide variation of the volume wholesalers do.

There are other variations as well you will probably discover.

On my call, I mentioned that it would be cool to add a heat map about comp price variation of each county in the United States, and it was on their site within a couple of days.I'm happy to answer any other questions you have!

There are certainly times when sub to works and variations (Like a wrap) that work well too, with informed consent where all parties benefit.

The rest were financed with various partners in some variation of a 50/50 or 60/40 split.How did I get here?

So far, I've been saying "ah man I don't know how I can pay that much for this property"  or some variation.
