Effective Real Estate Direct Mail Marketing Campaigns

by Joseph Marie General
Though direct mail marketing is considered to be one of the oldest methods of advertising approaches, still many people feel it is a very efficient tool to attract customers and clients. The campaigns through such medium are versatile and are small budgeted, which generates high returns. Many argue that e-mails can reach the clients immediately, but there is a possibility that these e-mails may be deleted even without being read or go into the spam box. But, direct mails reach the prospects directly, and surely they will go through the details without neglecting. Here are a few benefits of direct mails.

• This approach of sending letters through direct mail is very affordable unlike other medium like postcards, brochures, flyers, etc. and they require a graphic designer to design it. At times, a real estate business may not have the budget to advertise through TV, radio, and other technological mediums. At such a stance, real estate direct mail marketing may prove to be an efficient marketing tool.

• It’s a direct approach and so, called as “direct mail”. The prospect may approach you or not, will surely read your mail from the mail box and may keep you in mind.

• It is also possible to give a lot of details through the contents of the mail, which may not be possible with a postcard. A postcard is a smaller medium, though it is effective, the detailing is not as very possible as in a direct mail.

• It can be personalized addressing each client individually, to a touch to the letter.

The above are the benefits. Here are a few techniques that can be utilized to attract customers through direct mail.

• A flyer or a brochure can be attached to the mail and sent out to the clients. Any upcoming events can be mentioned in such letters, which would be really informative. This is especially useful for upcoming real estate agents.

• Give an exact target market of the demographic region you may be concentrating. This helps the client to analyze and find out the differences in price, location and other extra benefits you would be offering compared to other real estate agents.

• Many people avoid real estate articles as they are too complicated to understand. Write an article in easy English that the clients would understand about the current real estate strategy, which can be attached with the direct mail. If your article is lengthy, just give a briefing over the direct mail, and direct them to the website or blog, which would give them a more detailed article.

• Before targeting the set of audience, a real estate agent should be clear about who the audience is, and what the targeted audience need. He or she should also be clear about the right target market. Approaching a wrong market would lead to a failure in the campaign.

• It is also important that the agent’s contact information and address are clearly mentioned in each letter.

After settling on the content and the audience, ample time should be allotted to complete the mail. If a real estate agent is not able to frame the mail, it is essential to approach a direct mail printing company who may of better help to frame the contents, print it and mail it to the targeted audience at an affordable price.
