Troy Lilly Reopen a very important-yet under-discussed Direct Mail Flaw
23 July 2018 | 20 replies
It helps me to network and provide value to other investors I network with.With all of those perks being discussed, let's take a look at the math on the marketing side:Let's use 2 hypothetical lists for example:1) My scrubbed list of probates to check the probate records for "real property being inherited" and a different mailing address for the applicant and the inherited or soon to be inherited property.2) A random list pulled from ListSource containing certain criteria of out of state absentee and 90% or more equity in the house.List 1:mailing 1000x5 times with a postcard costing $.50 ($2,500) (hypothetically let's say 80% of these leads have motivation) ($500 is in vain)List 2:same $2500, except only 50% of these leads have motivation of some sort, so there's more tire kickers and less potential. ($1250 will be in vain)With this math, the value of a great list will be worth at the very least $750 plus value in the market place, more concentrated motivation, and much less tire kickers.What does the BP community think?
