Consequently, most successful mailing campaigns are based on follow up communications via a series of letters, phone calls or a combination of both

The purpose is to build rapport – to establish a relationship between you and your prospects. It usually takes multiple contacts, but I had major success with a single letter campaign - and that was with my expired listing system . I can’t tell you why it worked – but it did…and still does.

Generally speaking, there are three reasons why real estate farming via direct letter marketing campaigns work;

One - You can do mass mailings and cover a lot of area and prospects. You get a bigger bang for your buck by targeting selected areas.

Two - You'll be recognized as a specialist in a relatively short period of time. You can begin establishing a brand in a relatively short period of time.

Three - You'll be able to generate a lot of listings, thereby creating a stable income. Regular contacts with prospects will generate more business than most other real estate marketing ideas.
