Please join me at the next Boston Investors' Networking Event at Dos Lobos in North Reading!


We will begin with an open forum Q&A segment where you will have the opportunity to ask the group questions related to jump starting your real estate investing business or taking your investing to the next level. Of course there will also be plenty of time for networking as well.

If you haven't been to one of these events, it's a great opportunity to speak with other active investors.

Thanks so much and I look forward to seeing you there.

@J Scott, I am preparing to start a direct mail marketing campaign to find properties to flip and BRRR in SoCal. I've created different demographic segments that I'd like to market to. Can you provide a little insight as to how you would tailor the message in a direct mail campaign to each demographic segment and how you usually segment or bucket each group? For example, I have a group for pre-foreclosures, absentee owners over a certain age with a certain amount of equity, absentee owners who have owned property for a period of time, etc.. etc... I would not want to send each group the same marketing message, but I'm also not sure what the best way to tailor the message to each group is. The market here is also very competitive so I want to make sure that my letters will stand out from other investors'. Any insight you can offer would be helpful

I haven't done a major direct mail campaign in about 4 years, and a lot has changed over the past few years with respect to what's working and what's not.  So, I'm not comfortable giving specific recommendations.

That said, funny enough, I literally just got off the phone with my friend @Justin Silverio, who runs Open Letter Marketing, about 20 minutes ago, getting his thoughts on a new campaign I'm getting ready to start.

Based on my discussion with Justin, it's pretty clear to me that if you want the most up-to-date and comprehensive information, the best people to talk to about direct mail are the ones who run the direct mail companies.  Across all the campaigns they manage and all the A/B testing they do on each campaign, they are really dialed-into what's working and not working at this moment.  

Anyway, that's my recommendation.  I'm sure there are plenty of other great direct mail companies out there, but I'd recommend reaching out to Justin and his team at openlettermarketing.com if you have questions.  And no, I don't mean for that to sound like a commercial and I don't get compensated for that recommendation...he just really knows his stuff (and if you've followed me, you know I don't throw out recommendations very often)... 

Thanks J. 

I'd be happy to answer anyone's questions about direct mail or marketing in general. Feel free to shoot me a DM or start a new thread and tag me so we don't alter the subject of this thread. As always, there are NO strings attached to my advice; I'm just happy to provide some insight based on my experience.  :)

Thanks @Ann Bellamy.

Hi @Mora Clark. As Ann mentioned, I hold a quarterly networking event.  The next one is actually next week at one of my high end renovations in South Boston.  You're welcome to join. It's on Wed at 6:30. Feel free to PM me for details.

Also, I am hosting the Boston Wealth Builders group at the same renovation this Saturday if that works better for you.  Either way, I'm happy to get you involved with my group.

Also, the group that Ann mentioned, Black Diamond is excellent!

There will be light food and drinks at the event.

I look forward to seeing you there!
