This enables them to generate leads without extensive manual outreach or time-consuming marketing efforts.

Create a Steady Stream of Responsive Prospects

A primary benefit of direct mail postcard marketing is its ability to create a steady stream of responsive prospects. By crafting well-designed postcards with persuasive messaging, businesses can peak the interest of potential customers and encourage them to take action. Postcards' captivating nature can capture recipients' attention quickly, making it more likely for them to respond positively to the marketing message.

The regular presence of their postcards in the recipients' mailboxes helps create a lasting impression and increases brand recall. This enhances credibility and reputation, making prospects more inclined to choose the services or products offered by the business over their competitors.

Effective, Rapid Start Example: How To Use Direct Mail Post Cards to Generate Real Estate Leads

1. Choose a neighborhood to farm; condos, high-end homes, country estates, move-up homes, etc.

2. Design or purchase a series of real estate marketing postcards to start your direct mail campaign.

3. Begin mailing your postcards on a scheduled basis, at least once a month, with particular emphasis on holidays.

Practical Application of Direct Mail Post Cards

Design and mail postcards for any priced neighborhood. Let's use a million-dollar neighborhood for this example. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s your listing or not. 

Remember, you’re part of a Multiple Listing Service and can sell any house listed within your service. You can also advertise and market any and all houses in that system, with permission from the respecting listing agent and broker's office, even when it’s not your listing.

The best practice is to get the permission in writing to avoid misunderstandings. 

Next, get ready for some leads. Somebody will call or email you wanting to know more. If you’re on top of your game, you can get a listing, make an appointment to show the property, find another property for the interested party, or maybe even get a referral.

So, can you see how mailing a couple of hundred high gloss, impressive-looking direct mail postcards to a move-up neighborhood can increase your business? I can, too!

Wrap Up

A farmer plants a crop and then waters, fertilizes and nurtures it to harvest. This same concept applies to “farming” neighborhoods via direct mail campaigns.

• Sending postcards is the “planting” of the crop. 
•  Monthly mailings are the equivalent of tending to the crop.
•  And finally, the listings and sales you’ll get from your farming efforts will be harvesting your crop.
