Its called a community mailer! It goes to ten
Thousand homes 3 times! In may June and July!
It cost 350 per mailing! Goes to homes with income
Of 52,000 or more And a house value of 87,000 or higher!

Do you think it would be worth it? Anybody else have experience
With it? Thanks

Kasey, good thinking on Yellowbook's part. Before June you can't find ten thousand people with that kind of money in northern Wisconsn.

I've never had any luck with print advertising.

Paul I was actually surprised that they could
Find 10,000 homes that made over 52,000 a year
Up here in the north woods but, I guess our manufacturing
Businesses are booming and hiring all the time!

If I guess if I get 1 percent of the ppl to call me with
An animal problem that's still ten calls! I'm not sure yet
What to do! Anyone else do it before?

Well I think I've decided that I'm going to invest
In it, I guess I've spent 1000 bucks more foolishly
Before! Any last words of wisdome?

One reason I think it might work is because
Of all the other advertisers on the mailer! They
Have a bunch of pizza coupons and the like along with it
So maybe instead of just throwing it out they
Will keep it untile all the coupons they can use
Are gone!

I look at it this way; if it works out and you make some money, fine. And if it doesn't work out, well at least that's a thousand dollars that Obama won't get his greasy mitts on.

I did a 100k home mailer. Not one call. Waste of time and money. Only reason I did was my uncle works for the magazine.

Make sure you have a catchy pic somewhere on it to grab the attention and make em look twice before it hits the can.

Well I was going through some old posts and
Found this one and thought I would bring it back
Up again. The add worked in a way, it paid for itself
Many times over but, They royally screwed up my
Add and only gave me half of my money back.
Here is the add they messed up on.



It was supposed to be 25 dollars off not 125 dollars
Off and they printed bat programs instead of bat
Problems. If they would have printed the add right I
Truley think it would have been a good deal. Another
Thing I found out was that they lied about the adds going
To home owners that made over 52,000 a year. They just
Sent them on a mail route and where they landed they landed.
So all the apartment complexes were completely useless
For me.
