Tweaking Traditional Marketing and How to Save a Fortune

Real Estate Postcard Marketing: Postcards + Website = Leads

These days an internet marketing strategy plays a vital part of small business marketing strategies (or any size business marketing strategies for that matter). Web site marketing is an important part of just about any business, small or large.

You can’t put up a beautiful (or any) web site and hope that people will just arrive. You have to let them know, IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY, that your web site is there. This HAS to be part of any Internet marketing strategy you develop. This is actually a basic marketing principle. Customers are not going to look for you, you have to look for them.

Promoting your web site on-line and building traffic is the subject of thousands of web sites, e-zines, books, courses and seminars. Using the web to promote your site, however, assumes that your customers are surfers. But there is a large percentage of our population that is not as savvy with the internet as we would like them to be.

So, what about the large percentages of the population who are not? They will only find out about you through traditional marketing and public relations media. This is particularly true if you serve a fairly local market. Fortunately these are the easiest and cheapest prospects for you to reach off-line.

6 Easy-To-Do Action Steps to Get Increased Response from Your Direct Marketing Campaigns

I think it really goes without saying that direct mail marketing is a powerful marketing tool for finding sellers who are motivated. When you combine direct mail marketing with the internet, response rates increase significantly. It’s important to provide quality information in the content of your marketing material, rather than just a simple “I buy houses” approach. Especially if you’re targeting pre-foreclosure, tax liens or any other type of list that will likely have sellers getting barraged with “we buy houses” letters. Offer them exclusive time sensitive information on your website to start sorting the leads.

Try sending frequent mailings to your prospects that provide your website links to quality information that is beneficial to the seller, and provides information on how they can find help out of their situation.

Sending repeat mailings with this type if information will help you to.…

  1. Establish your credibility
  2. Develop a reputation as an industry expert

  3. Cultivate a relationship with your prospects

  4. Inspire loyalty

  5. And maintain regular contact

The big mistake I see a lot of investors making is thinking that simply sending a single letter to a list of prospects — and then forgetting about it — is going to attract sellers by the thousands. Even if your list is highly targeted, this is going to produce disappointing results.

You need to be prepared to send a minimum of three mailings to each list. You will get much better results sending multiple letters to a smaller list, than a single letter to a larger list. If budget is an issue, then sending three post cards to a list is better than sending one letter.

Here are 6 easy-to-do action steps that you can take to generate high response rates using multi-step direct mail marketing campaigns… Continue reading 6 Easy-To-Do Action Steps to Get Increased Response from Your Direct Marketing Campaigns

Solid communication is very essentially a key to the door of success in all aspects of your life.

Easy Skip Tracing – Where Did They Go?

How many times have you come across vacant properties, that you can not find the owner? Last week I heard of a very simple and effective way to get a forwarding address. It all started when I was in the post office. I overheard a conversation with the postmaster a customer was having. This person who was speaking to the postmaster wanted to to find someone who owed him money and he wasn’t having a lot of luck. He knew that the person had moved to another city, but that was all he knew. He had originally tried getting the post master to get the forwarding address, but the post office informed him that they would only release a forwarding address to a law enforcement officer, licensed private investigator or under court order. BUT the post master had a better solution… To get a forwarding address you simply have to send the person a letter and include the following clearly below the return address:

Handwritten versus Print Direct Mail Results

Have you had trouble understanding how to find a motived seller? Have you been challenged getting motivated sellers to contact you? Are you spending your money on high-priced newspaper ads, etc. and then waiting for calls from serious sellers that never come.

Well, now there’s something that can change your whole approach to real estate investor marketing.Donna and John MacNeil have come up with a brilliant solution to finding motivated sellers. It’s called "The Yellow Letter".

Direct Mail with a Punch!

Direct mail can be an extremely effective way to find motivated sellers and sell services, if you know how to do it.    As you probably know, most people open their mail over the wastebasket. No message, no matter how effective is going to generate a response unless your letter gets opened!   Then you have to have a message that will inspire the recipient to take action and call you.

Real Estate Investor Marketing the Easy Way.   Now, you can do your own research and then spend thousands of dollars testing various letters until you find one that works.

Or you can do it the easy way. Donna and John have created a real estate marketing letter that gets opened and has a response rate that is off the charts.

The typical real estate investor marketing and direct mail campaigns have a response rate of about 1/2%–that is, only 1 out of 200 people that get a letter will respond. However, Donna and John have found that the Yellow Letter, thier proprietary real estate marketing letter, gets a reponse rate of up to 30%–that’s almost 1 in 3 people who receive it will call you.

Cherry pick your sellers

With that many potential sellers calling you, you can take your pick of the best deals — the homes with the most equity, best profit, and the quickest cash out.

You won’t have to waste your time with non-motivated sellers, tire-kickers or time wasters just because you have no one better to work with.

This Real Estate Marketing Letter Will Work Every Time

The really cool thing about an effective direct mail piece is that if it works once—it will work every time!

Mail to your list of people in foreclosure, or people who have declared bankruptcy. Or pick your hot neighborhoods to farm. Just keep sending out the Yellow Letter.

If you get a response with this real estate marketing letter the first time, you will get a response every time.

Easy, Simple, and Cheap

Donna & John’s Yellow Letter real estate investor marketing system is so simple, and average high school student could do it. You don’t have to be a direct mail guru. And you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars with special fonts, graphics, envelopes, etc.
