more activity

I am surprised that my direct mail to notice of default homeowners is not getting the results I had hoped for. The letters and the postcards are a bust. Sent out 500 and had hoped for 1-3 calls - got nothing. But my bandit signs - I get 2-3 calls each week until they are taken down. Although I have not gotten a deal from them yet, they are creating activity for me so it's just a matter of time.

I have been thinking about using social media as well. My husband thinks that will help and paying for on line marketing will be better than the letters and postcards I send today. I've done online marketing before for my portrait photography business and got minimal results - anyone out there using social media to get leads????

You may get some responses to your mail after the holidays. Often, people put those aside or on their fridge to call later. I used to do a lot of mailings (several thousand actually) I got buyers from them, even ones aimed at sellers, but never any sellers. You usually have to repeat the mailings numerous times to same people, up to seven times for good response. Or so have been told. I never did them for that long. Was too expensive timewise and dollarwise for me.

Haven't really done social media.
