You need to put them in stacks of 100 with a facing slip that you have to print out when you did your order. They get stacked per route. Do not drop them of without doing this or they will just tell you what I just did.

I suggest using the thick rubber bands and folding the facing slip around the pile like a sandwich.

Its says you can do 50 or 100. All the post offices I went to said they prefer 100.

Curious to hear of your results. I'm putting together a eddm campaign currently for Spring. 2500 - 5000 pcs a week.

How did the mailers work out? Mine were a bust, 2000, not 1 call.

I did mailers and didn't do well, but rocks and a post card did very well.

Did you break a window with a rock and poke a postcard through the hole?

The first time I heard about putting rocks in a bag, with a post card and throwing them at houses, bad images came to mind. Broken windows, dented doors. At least that was what happened when I did that when I was 10. Didn't go over so well.
Really though, rocks in bags and throwing cards in peoples yards doesn't upset them that you are leaving trash in the yard? (not that I think my cards are trash, but they might)

Jon, post a picture of the front and back of your postcard, maybe everyone here can help you make it better.
I sent out some great looking postcards but there was no good marketing message on them and they did not do too good. I had some re-designed and they did better.
I am working on some different ideas with a better marketing message so hopefully they will do better than the last bunch.
You have to keep on trying to make them better and better, that is just how it goes and one day you will have the winner that gets the phone really ringing when you send them out but remember the industry rate is anywhere from 0.5% to about 4% response if they are good so you need to know where you are at so you know if they are doing good or not.

We throw them at the end of drive way. Out of 10,000 1 compliant, 1 post card we did 6 jobs out of the family.
I remember, it is because of you I have these cards to send out. It is slow right now now, but my phone has been ringing more than in recent times.
Everything I have seen about marketing it takes 3 or more times being exposed to a message, product, company before it sticks. Sending out a batch of 2000 to 2000 different homes may not work as well as sending 600 cards to the same addresses 3 times.
As it is, I got a few calls and even someone who recognized the logo on my fleece from a card that he received in the mail.
