Direct Mail/Post Card Questions... Need help!
Right now the best idea seems to be to gather a list of my own through InfoFree, Scraping Software and Google Local and then pre qualify them based on if they have a crappy looking or outdated website (I'm going to be selling high converting web design). The ones that have an outdated site I'll add to the mailing list.
The main problem I see with this right now is running into gatekeepers. I can see a postcard getting to a front desk and being tossed out immediately. Anyone who's cold called before knows that 99% of gatekeepers have no clue about anything to do with the web or if the company needs a new site, I've called places to tell them their site was hacked and they say "no we're not interested in your services".
Can anyone who has experience with this breakdown how to get around gatekeepers? My main plan right now is getting smaller companies or even individual contractors that don't have a front desk service but I think that would leave a pretty small list to mail to by the time I've gone through everything.. it's also very difficult to tell without calling them.
Thanks in advance.
