Wish me luck folks - I threw my hat in this ring as well. I mailed out cards to my mailing list of maybe 200 collectors and others that have asked to be on my mailing list. And I bought a list of 600 names of folks who make over 150k/year and have shown an interest in art or antiques. I had to expand my area though - in Corpus Christi where I was moving there seemed to be only 250 names that fit that criteria - and that didnt meet the minimum. So - Im hitting Beaumont & Galveston as well. If this turns out to be worth it I may do San Antonio someday.

It's too soon to tell since I just mailed them 3 days ago - but I did get an email from a man in Galveston who says he spent a lot of time on my website, complimented me and says he wants to make a trip to Corpus to see my work in person. Guess I'll see. It did show me that the list is targeted since he told me a little about himself as well. I also recognized a name on the list I bought as someone my husband went to school with who won the lottery and starting collecting art years ago! I thought that was pretty funny that I'd recognize a name on there.

I am still going to try and get names from family and friends also - Mary's results were impressive!
