Direct Mail Marking Is Dead

Others in my area are on this site.

Oh don't worry, I understand, I just saw a couple of people in my local area on this site too. I guess way more people come here than I thought!

I disagree. When it comes to listings, people list with folks who appear to be active in the community as an authority. Just simple listed, contract, and sold card sent out regularly to an area are gold. Just like online, it takes time and a commitment. I heard a while back that to get any results, you have to mail at least 6 times. You can't sent junk but if you have something woeth tooting your horn about, it will work....it almost sounds like the same thing you need to do on-line

Mail 6 times a month or year? 6 times a month seems like a lot to me.

I wouldn't go more than every other week but at least once a month. A lot of newbies thing mailing to the world once makes the phone ring. Much like what do for our websites, it takes time, commitment and work. Pick a smaller area, stay on budget, do quality "stuff." In time, you will see results.

I don't think you said what it is you mail out. Do you use postcards, newsletters, ??

My goodness, when you look I look at what is see being delivered on the streets here, we do one quality piece (Door hanger) we get calls. So much of what is delivered in generic one cannot differentiate one company from another. We use quirky even funny cards are real attention grabbers. We definitely see a difference in results based on this, plus the use of quality stock and printing. Use headline grabbing stuff, and don't make it apparent like "sell your house with me"or " I'm the best.
