Letters
This classic method is one of the oldest marketing practices. It's used for numerous types of marketing and sales and real estate investing is no different. The typical way to send direct letters is on an 8 1/2in x 11in letter size paper. For the best results you should always hand write your letters and also hand write the envelope.
Postcards
Post Cards are another way to send mailers. Writing simple post cards to motivated sellers with information about your services can work out great. In our experience, post cards work well for Short Sales, Probates and Pre-foreclosures, but feel free to try them on any and all types of marketing.
Yellow Envelopes
Another good direct mail idea is to place your letters in a large yellow envelope. Everyone opens large yellow envelopes. Think about it, wouldn't you be curious about what's inside?
Flyers
Flyers are simple and effective. With a flyer, there's nothing to open so your message is seen immediately. We recommend that you use double sided flyers, color if possible. These can be mailed, placed door to door or placed as an insert in the weekly news paper.
Presentation Folders
If you have the marketing budget, you may want to go a step further and send out a presentation folder of your services or offer. Be sure to enclose business cards, and maybe even make them magnetic.
