I have heard some guys have had great success
No have not used them. Price was kind of out there. Seemsto take a big committment. I have a great success with the USPO direct mail.
I talked to them yesterday about a big direct mail campaign and it really got me thinking. Her line of thinking was something like this. "Okay your average residential job is $800.00. How much do you want to produce a month?" I told her $40,000 a month in residential. Her response "okay on WORST case you should expect a quarter of one percent response, so to get 50 jobs at that rate you would need to send 20,000 postcards to get that at WORST CASE. Anything else is just gravy or what if you got the AVERAGE of 1% it would be 4x that amount!!
Anyway it was just another good way to look at things. I have always been more of a "I want to spend $1,000 a month on postcards - what can we do" I may end up spending a lot more than I wanted to, but get a lot better results than I ever have. It is worth talking to them.
