Every real estate agent has used some form of top residential architects in Florida postcard marketing over the span of their career. Yet many of these agents waste thousands of dollars a year because they don’t make smart decisions about who to send their real estate mailings to and what the mailings should contain.
As an agent for the past decade, I have made a fantastic living by using real estate mailings to generate expired real estate listings. This article will explain how I do it and how you can use real estate postcard marketing to beat your competition and dominate your local market. The best part is, if you use these steps, you’ll save thousands of dollars every year on your mailings and sell more houses than you ever have!
The biggest mistake agents make when starting a marketing campaign is to make their address list far too big. The common thinking among agents is that the more people they mail to, the more business they will receive. While this may be true, few agents know how to mail to a much smaller list and still generate the same amount of business. Over the years, I have steadily reduced my mailing list size while dramatically increasing my revenue. Here are the tricks I use:
It may seem tedious, but these steps will identify a list of homes in your market that are worth your complete attention. Having a highly targeted list of one to two hundred homes is far more valuable than having a list of thousands of houses that may not be looking to sell.
Now that you have spent the time to research and identify the withdrawn and expired real estate listings, you’re ready to out-market your competition.
While the rest of the agents in your market will have spent all of their money sending one postcard to thousands of people, you can now spend much less money sending several postcards to the small, targeted list you’ve created. Here’s a list of items I send out to my small list:
The response to this campaign is incredible and while I do spend the money to send four, full color postcards (and sometimes a fifth follow up), because I was smart about my list, I’m spending much less than my competitors and my real estate postcard marketing campaigns have an unbelievable rate of return!
If you follow my steps, you’ll already be saving thousands of dollars on your real estate marketing while making more money. Here’s how to save even more on your real estate postcard marketing:
