Top 5 Methods for a Successful Real Estate Campaign

Introduction

A successful real estate campaign can make all the difference in a competitive market. You want your business to stand out and get as much exposure as possible. Here’s a guide to the top 5 methods to ensure your campaign stands out and achieves your desired outcomes:

1. Keep it Simple

Avoid using big bodies of text, convey your message or call to action with as few words as possible to increase the chances of your piece being truly read.

• < 80 handwritten words or < 150 printed words per mail piece
• > 20pt font size
• Use clear and concise language.
• Highlight key benefits or selling points in a visually appealing way (e.g., bullet points, bold text).
• Avoid jargon or technical terms that your target audience may not understand.

2. Make it Personal

Personalization is the key to making your mail piece stand out. Using the recipient’s name and other personal details makes your message feel more intimate and relevant to the recipient. Achieve this by using dynamic variables in the designer studio.

• Use the recipient’s name in the message (e.g., “Dear [Name],”).
• Tailor the message to their specific needs or interests. Research their property needs, investment goals, or lifestyle preferences.
• Reference specific local events or community news that might resonate with them.
• Use dynamic variables to insert personalized details directly into the message (e.g., neighborhood information, property features).
• Sign off with a handwritten name or signature to create a genuine connection.

3. Choose the Right Font for Your Message

The font that you choose can have a big impact on the effectiveness of your mail piece. You want a font that best suits you and or your company’s style and message.

• Font that aligns with the tone of your message (e.g., a playful font for a lighthearted message, a professional font for a formal message).
• Cursive or print font depending on the desired effect. Cursive can add a touch of personal warmth, while print can convey professionalism.
• Use different font sizes for emphasis (e.g., larger for headlines, smaller for body text).
