if you just buy a mailing list those aren't that expensive... some even give you a pdf file in label format for you to just click print and there you have it label ready to stick on your postcards.I am putting mine together the hard way. But after I am done, I will have EXACTLY the list I want going to who I want my mailers to go to.
Go to whitepages, type in an address, select the "find neighbors" button and it will give you a list of the street/area. Then go to each addy and click save/send. You can save each address to MS OUTLOOK. Yes it is time consuming, BUT it is free and if you have more time than money it's a no brainer.:thumbup:
can you customize to exact streets/locals? How much we talking $50.00 or $250.00? Never know about these.. I almost feel like I am supporting the enemy.. all the data miners. I had a guy from the local chamber of commerce (when I was a member) hound me about his ability to put a mailing list together. I forget how much he wanted for it.if you just buy a mailing list those aren't that expensive... some even give you a pdf file in label format for you to just click print and there you have it label ready to stick on your postcards.
the list cost per lead I think the more you have the less the lead but you can draw a box around the area you want using GeoSelector...can you customize to exact streets/locals?

I didn't see this before! EXCELLENT!!! :thumbsup:the list cost per lead I think the more you have the less the lead but you can draw a box around the area you want using GeoSelector...
If you use the geo selector your basically drawing a box around the area you want on a google map. Which means you can narrow it down better then just zips. Also if you put "or current resident" you won't get them backI used USdata. I was able to narrow by zip code, owned/rented, income, etc.
I got 300 addresses for 75. Quite a few came back undeliverable. When I contacted them, they said they would refund price + postage, as long as I contacted them 30 days after purchase!
I have better results with my custom made list, using drive bys, building permits and past customers.
I wonder if it is because I live in a small town, some were returned, no mailbox, insufficient address, or unable to locate. I did use google maps and google earth to find several that were returned and was unable to find residence. I did put or current resident.
Yeah, it's a cross I gladly bear! Here is my neighborhood!
