Direct mail postcards creation

[Daniel Clay]

I am new to the wholesaling real estate gig but I have been researching and studying for weeks now literally non stop. I'm getting ready to start my direct mail marketing campaign and I'm going to use post cards. I've hit somewhat of a wall as I have never made a postcard and know nothing about how to create them or what to put on them and I would like some advice. I'm going to use the large colored postcards next I need to figure out if I should hire someone to create a design for me or if I should do it myself or go to one of the many direct mail websites and suck it up and pay 700 bucks for 1000 postcards. but I just know that there has to be a simpler way. Please if anyone could give some advice I would appreciate it.

Hello @Daniel Clay! 

First of all, welcome the the BP Community! You're in the right place to learn, ask questions, and connect.

As for your questions, you have to look at the value of your time and at your strengths. It is tempting to do your direct mail in house, and in some cases is the right way to go, however, if you do not have the knowledge and/or skills to accomplish your goal in a timely manor, it may end up costing you more and cause unnecessary frustration. There are quite a few companies that can do this for you, in fact, most are on BP. Shop around and see some of the templates and designs they offer, even if only to get some ideas.

Whatever you decide, I wish you success! Let me know if I can help in any way. :-)
