I haven't actually reached this point yet but I've been hearing that postcards generate better quality leads vs the quantity of leads that yellow letters bring.

In the last 2 months we have 175 Notice of Defaults (NOD's).Here are my costs....For me 5X7 Postcard both sides (250 quantity):.26 per card.08 Import list.25 pull list.46 postage.

I only use a tiny portion of what it is capable of doing.

If a new investor has more time than money to invest, he wants to maximize his return by turning the "quantity" of responses way up even if the "quality" of the responses goes down.

The quantity given exceeds the requested amount in the OP, and these are not in any particular order.

This example shows a tiny dollar amount, but if you buy in one of the locations where the RTT is 4% or 5% you can have better results.

Not certain if they have mailed out the quantity I have at the variety I have however when they type responses they're typically right on.Happy house hunting

There's no minimum quantity order, you just upload your list, design your postcard, and basically click send.

That may be a tiny part of it, but I think the other major factor here is that there are so few good comps in the areas where I'm selling that appraisers would rather use other comps of mine (because they are good) as opposed to bad comps from other sellers.My guess is that if there were other good comps out there, appraisers would certainly prefer not to use all of mine over the others...it's just worth noting that appraisers aren't going to screw me (and hopefully others) by using bad comps when the alternative is using my own comps.

Although, if you decide to go the route of purchasing a list from a provider and your quantity is too high to do in house, you may want to consider out sourcing it.Keep in mind that direct mail tends to work best when you send a campaign, not just a single mailing.
