@Alison Miller Your post was great and very informal im a new investor in Richmond, Virginia launching my first direct mail campaign soon and I listen to different opinions here on BP and mostly are different on PC vs YL response ratio than local investors here in my area.

I have found that the act of answering and asking the sellers call and questions is paramount so we took that task away.We are about 10 days away from launching our telephone VOIP, mass auto text, and voice blast service...Its kinda cool... every time a caller calls you can set a series of actions back to them.

They can pass by a FDBOer and in put an address and launch a 7 letter campaign.It would be how days can you market.

What I have discovered is that for those topics with subjects I am not interested in or want to read, if I don't click on the link, it does not launch for me.I find that method to be 100% effective.W hiskeyT angoF oxtrot

I'm getting ready to launch another mail campaign, and was looking for tweaks to do to drive up that ever elusive response rate, and the thing I learned from this thread is to definitely be targeted on my mailing list for potential motivation upfront, and to combine multiple different strategies outside of mailers.I'm surprised how many people shy away from the phone, or door knocking.... sometimes your fastest deals will come from you putting your feet on your farm area and getting in peoples faces and ears....

I don't mean completely..but don't launch into your elevator pitch, don't read from the pre-made script you have.

Originally posted by @Mark W Carpenter:Hey guys, I just recently launched a campaign here in Oklahoma and my return rate has been horrible I used yellow letters, and I even had @Michael Quarles help me set up my marketing, and I have only received 2 Actual phone calls out of 4900 Postcards sent...

Before launching have a couple of ads “in the can” and run them under 2 different campaigns.

are they providing EM or something to help you launch ?

We use multiple numbers with multiple tags so that on every call we can launch an automatic followup action plan...
