First Marketing Campaign...
Hello!
I am embarking on my first marketing campaign and had some questions I was hoping to get answered. I plan on purchasing a list and sending out 5 monthly mailings. My strategy is to rehab and sell entry level SFHs.
- Based on the type of investing I’ll be doing, what is the best type of list to purchase… absentee, divorce, equity, etc?
- From what I’m seeing, postcards are the best way to go. Is this something I should start with and use every month, or should I begin with something else like yellow letters and progress from there?
- How many is the minimum I should send per month? I know that this largely depends on my budget and unfortunately it’s on the smaller side.
- Finally, I’ve done a small bit of looking around and like yellowletters.com to purchase the list, as well as mail my cards through. Does anyone suggest another process/ company? I would love to be able to go to the courthouse, unfortunately due to time constraints with a FT job, I’m not able to do that.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have!

@Mark Vejnar Thank you! I'm moving slower than I would prefer as time is not easy to come by to set up all the pieces. But yes, we have a website that we are currently working on (a very simple 3 page site) and will have a prerecorded message for calls that come in. I will personally be making all call backs by 7pm, the same day that we receive a message. I don't feel the need for a copywriter. I have a good idea of how I will be presenting my company and what we can offer people. Between that and the info found here on BP, I feel that I'll be able to convey my message fairly well.
With all of that said, if you have any thoughts/ suggestions about this, I would love to hear them!
