Starting My First Mailing Campaign!

[Stefon Franklin]

Hey BP Members, I finally bought my first mailing list! I've previously only been doing bandit signs and Craigslist marketing only because it's inexpensive. It's been working but now I'm looking to expand and do more deals. So now I'm trying to create a mailing campaign that's effective but also cost friendly. I'm asking for any insight on how to get the most "bang for my buck." Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Are you talking about a physical mailing list or an email list?

How did you come up with your mailing list?

[Mark Wolffer]

a mailing list is only as good as you have segmented your market area:

1. are they homeowners?

2. when did the homeowners purchase the property? (do you really want to waist your money on people who don't have equity or moved in just a few years ago or even worse...last year)

3. what are the ages of the home occupants?  (are they empty nesters, are they over 70 years old, or are they parents with kids in school)

4. do you know any of the homeowner occupations?  ( some occupations pay really well and are very secure...so they tend to not need to sell at a discount) (others like salespeople may have come on hard times)

5. do you know if any of them registered at a payday site in the last 60 days? (need cash)

By segmenting you are able to better target your advertising dollars and expand your market coverage area
