Real estate direct mail postcards are a popular choice for many realtors. Real estate postcards are a great way to engage potential clients and create brand awareness. Read on for top tips on the benefits of sending real estate postcards and real estate postcard ideas.
Real Estate Agent Postcards
There are many reasons why realtors choose real estate agent postcards. Here are just a few:
- Postcard mailings are a great way to market to residents in your target sales area.
- It’s possible to send postcards to residents on an entire mailing route without even needing names or addresses, with EDDM® (Every Door Direct Mail®). This is perfect for sending real estate postcards to those in a neighborhood you wish to target.
- Your real estate postcard is likely to be kept by at least some of your recipients who might be looking to buy or sell in the near future. Unlike email marketing which can be easily overlooked or deleted, a postcard can be kept as a physical reminder.
Realtor Postcards
‘Realtor postcards’ is another commonly used term for real estate postcards. This might also refer to a postcard representing a single realtor rather than a real estate firm.
Realtor postcards not only include images of properties represented, but might also include a friendly and professional photograph of the realtor. Realtor postcards can help recipients mentally “put a face to a name” and build familiarity and trust in your target market.
