<html> <body> Marshall, <x-tab>        </x-tab>The mailing to churches could be a benefit to you but did you ever think about people who just moved into your area? Real estate transfers are public knowledge. I used to blanket mail those transfers that were reported in our Sunday paper. You might think about giving that a try. best Greg At 09:13 PM 2/2/2006, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi Dean, I know this isn't related to piano moving, well it could be when one gets a customer.  I'm putting together a data base of churches to mail for a post card mailing.  What online source do you use to gather addresses, yellow book, superpages etc?  Thanks Dean. Marshall ps. I hope everyone is doing great on this list.   <dl> <dd>-------------- Original message -------------- <dd>From: "Dean May" <deanmay@pianorebuilders.com> <dd>> I have used the technique lots of times, especially when moving within the <dd>> same building.
