No phone calls
Hey BP,
Alright so my second mailing of postcards to absentee just went out the other day and hit the mailboxes, but i'm not having any luck. My first mailing I sent out i received 0 phone calls and I still have received 0 phone calls on my second mailing of postcards. I have a list of about 550 addresses and am going to add about 100 more to try and hit more people. I'm going to try letters for the months of november and december and see if i can get the phone to start ringing. Has anyone had the same experience with not receiving any phone calls, and if so what did you do differently? Thank You for reading this and hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Robbie,
I am always learning more about marketing and would recommend you do the same.
Don't phase it "I buy house" "I buy as is" tell them what their benefits are. Use the phase "you" no one cares about us.
Targeting absentee owners: narrow your list by qualifying those leads. Make sure they have equity, make sure they've live at the house for a while, ect.
I've heard some people say they target ppl for 2 mailers but I read the magic number seems to be much higher. 4-7 depending on who it is you're targeting.
Keep it up. When ppl are distressed they don't need fancy postcards.
Yellow letters is a great route if you're mailing. Way more expensive and time consuming. Download a handwritten font and use blue ink.
