I'm looking at getting started with a direct mail marketing campaign for wholesaling but I'm not sure of the target market.

She didn't have to do this, but she knew that the best advertising was to let the agents actually see our product.

With anything in life, persistence is key.This question can be to not just Sharon, but anyone, based on your analysis of your direct marketing campaigns have you noticed any trends in success rates between hand written, yellow paper, postcards as opposed to letters..etc?

Attorneys advertise in the yellow pages as to what areas of law they practice, just call them.

Now since I have a logo now and a printer I'll start a serious mail campaign of expired listings near the markets of colleges.

I'm curious what the competition is doing - I'm about to start a couple of direct mail campaigns - saturation mailing for a couple of neighborhoods and targeted mailing to absentee landlords.If you haven't tossed the postcard, I'd love to see a scan or cell phone pic of the front/back.

We've constructed and begun work on a massive marketing campaign consisting of direct mail, newspaper ads, magazine ads, internet marketing, business cards and pamphlets at local businesses, cold calling, walking around our neighborhoods looking for properties, and word of mouth and bird dogging.

They advertise your rental when its vacant.

A few more ideas:- Create a website specifically for the house (12323mainstreet.com or something) and advertise it there.

Just because you advertised $48K, you could likely get more on an owner-financing deal, say $55K just as an example.* To spread out the capital gains tax.* To create a note that will pay you a nice rate of interest, whatever you can negotiate that is below the usury ceiling.Why not?
