Follow-Up Mailers: How Often & What to Change?

How often do you all mail to a particular area? We sent out a mailer in early January which led to 3 deals. When do you suggest we hit that area again? Also, is it the same letter or do we change it up? As always, I appreciate your expertise and help!

Nice! I don’t resend to my lists as often as I should, usually once every 12-18 months. If I had my act together, I would have a couple of variations on my letter and I’d send them every 6 months or so. Is that right? I don’t know. But it seems like a good rhythm to me.

It’s a good question. I would love to hear what other people are doing for follow up on their direct mail. Like, how often to re-mail and what to say differently in the 2nd and 3rd go-around.

We used to mail every 3-6 mos the counties that were producing and had kind of gotten out of the habit. Was thinking about doing it again. @dmlew24 how many pcs of mail did you send for 3 deals? Congrats!!

Hi @AmyB! Thanks for your insight. I’m thinking about another round of mailers in June but we may send a bit sooner. I hope a few others will share their best practices.

We got super lucky and found a spot with a fair amount of sold comps that hasn’t been hit much by investors. That area received 2,700 letters and yielded four deals so far. :slightly_smiling_face:

We hit the same list several times. It’s more about hitting their inbox at the right time rather than anything else
