I hope to make my first post card mailing next week from here in my new surroundings. So far I have been very pleased with the local mail order company. They have worked up a list from their internals that is very targeted. In the defined desirable areas I took 850 names (holding back 150 of the 1000) off the top of a list of 25,000 that met this so called high value home / condo list. The last one on the list sorted by descending value, number 850, had a value of $1,719,500. I can only imagine what the top dog would be.

They are charging me $50 for a one time use of the list and about another $100 to handle the mailing. I'm having the cards mailed directly to them where they will be processed and pre-bundled for the mail man.

The cost looks like it will be very close to $1.00 per card. A folded card that is 6" x 8.5" after folding (no small matter). Full color front and back and black and white inside. It has a total of six painting images and four photographs with just the essential amount of plagiarized text.

As for the paintings that I used -- I took one each from four of my favorite artists on the forum, one Bougeureau and one JSS. I figure that should do it. Just seeing if you were paying attention.
