Hello to everyone on the forum, It's Marketing time!

So I’m currently working the Pre-Foreclosures (Mailing Campaign, one colorful postcard every 3 weeks)

Can I make a suggestion here - you should mail the preforeclosures on a MUCH more frequent basis. Every 3 weeks won't do it. Depending on your municipality the house could be REO in 3 weeks! How about hitting them 3 times PER week instead. I'm only half joking.

Consider the fact that once that notice of default hits public record they are literally getting inundated with solicitations of all types (BK attorneys, mortgage loan officers, investors, etc). Your postcard must be very compelling (colorful is good, by the way) and systematically delivered on a frequent basis to the preforeclosure leads, moreso than any other list.

For me there are only 10 prospect groups that are worth spending marketing money on..

1 - NODs Pre-foreclosures
2 - FSBOers
3 - FRBOers
4 - Expired Listings
5 - Farm (Free and Clear)
6 - COI  Center of influence
7 - Unlawful Detainer's
8 - Probate  (Dead People will call you)
9 - Divorces  (Horny people will be calling you)
10 - Bankruptcy

Michael have you ever mailed absentee owners? If so what is it about this prospect group that turned you off?

Oh, and LOL at #9
