Phone number question for bandit signs

[Roc P.]

Hello everyone, I'm doing my first bandit sign campaign, and I'm trying to gain insight on what type of phone number I should use for the contact.

Should I go with a virtual number, I.E. grasshopper, or should I get a "throw away" phone ala Walmart.

The good thing with a virtual number is the features and its usually 10 a month. However a pay as you go number is nice because, of the simplicity involved. Thanks Roc

@Roc P. Stop what you're doing and read this thread http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/98459-using-bandit-signs

I highly suggest you reconsider using bandit signs as a marketing tool. There are PLENTY of other legal avenues for finding properties. Besides you will get a bunch of tire kickers off bandit signs that will waste your time. Wouldnt your rather have leads that are motivated, with equity and targeted. You can do so by driving for dollars. I wrote an indepth blog post on the BP blog that details the process from step A to Z. Using the method I outlined in the post, some campaigns I have response rates over 70%. Give it a try. It doesn't cost you anything but time and gas money, and its legal.
