    Hi, just wanting to solicit your opinions on my predicament with the postal comps. I started actively comping a few months ago and sent out around 600 postcards since. Needless to say, given my atrocious spate of bad luck, I didn't win anything as yet! Given the costs involved in sourcing postcards and the attached costs with stamps, do you reckon this can be continued as a viable option. Or should I just stick with web entries? Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
