Real Estate Investor Insider Secret #12: When You Mail Your Next Postcard

By M. Bradley

Wording. Sometimes just a little bit of a change in the way you phrase your message can make a big difference in how people respond to it. To show you what I mean, go back to the title of this article, "When You Mail Your Next Postcard." Notice that I didn't say "If you mail a postcard." I'm presuming that's exactly what you're going to do.

For example, instead of writing, "In case you are interested, please visit the website so you can register and download" Why not just write, "when you visit our website, register and download" The second sentence already affirms the desired action you want them to take-to register and download. But notice that in the first sentence, you are still asking them to consider whether your offer is interesting or not.

So write your real estate postcard marketing message as if your prospect has already decided to use your services. Be positive!

I know, you might think you are being too forward. However, writing positively in your real estate direct mail can increase your response rate. Why not test this idea?

Some real estate marketing experts advise that writing positively should be practiced by real estate investors consistently. So write as if, your prospect will not be able to receive a better offer than yours.

When you bush your sales book with this text, you're creating a unbleached mindset with your customer that your pair is the exclusive formal quality for him. And when you pair this with a competent enjoin to process, you'll shortly discover that the combination works similarly as gangbusters.

Also use phrases in your real estate direct mail that affirms that they are making an intelligent decision in choosing you. For example, dot your content with words such as "clearly", "without the slightest doubt", "when you list the property with us" and etc.

If you doubt me on this, just take the direct-mail material you have lying around your house. Take out a highlighter. Now read through at least one advertisement, preferably two or three. Whenever you come across such language as "when" "without a doubt" or any other phrase that "assumes" the outcome the marketing desires, highlight it.

This method is sometimes referred to as 'subliminal marketing.' Check out your leading competitor's real estate direct marketing materials and underscore the words that are working to shape the readers' mind into already having agreed to the investor's proposal.

When you use this skillfulness, you'll no dubiety be persuading your audience, beyond an obscure of a doubt, that the definite, discursive pick is to call them. When you use this technique, you're clearly providing them with a sound proposal - one that favors your firm. And isn't that what every company attempts to do.
