OVER 2000 POSTCARDS!!!!

For the past week or so I have been labeling postcards. A little here and a little there between other tasks. One of my jobs here at Maranatha is to market the camp. We bought a mailing list, which includes addresses for over 2000 churches. My strategy is to send postcards which direct interested people back to the website for more information. Each postcard communicates something different about the camp. This postcard simply says that we are in the woods. Previous postcards have communicated that we have nice facilities, we've been around for a long time, we experience four seasons up here, and so on... So far the strategy seems to be working well, and we have been getting a good response from the mailings.
The company that we bought the mailing list from sends me promotional material from time to time, and in their most recent mailing they broke down the number of churches in their database by state. I will send a dollar to the first person who can guess the top three states with the most churches, and another dollar to anyone who can guess the bottom three.
