Yes, this is what I am trying to say. You need to target your prospects, and
you should get better results.

I dont know about that, to make it worth while you need the resources to
print material, someone or many people to letter box drop, and the return
will be minimal, if at all. This sort of marketting is akin to the very
thing most of us hate, spam.

Far better to, as you say, target groups such as the bush (people who would
benefit) , and the geek community (people who would tinker). There must be a
percieved benefit for the masses to get involved.
