Do bandit signs work better than newspaper ads?

[deepvoice75]

Or should I use both.  I want to start wholesaling pretty soon here.  Thanks for your advice in advance.

I'd have to say it depends on where you live. Tim and I have a friend in Dallas who uses nothing but bandit signs. He buys 4 or 5 houses a month and that's the only advertising he does.

I'm sure they'd work great for you in Houston.

I recommend buying them at www.banditsigns.com

Tell them you heard about them through REIClub.

Usually you will do some of both. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd go with the signs, bigger exposure and you get to pick the specific areas. It's a little more targeted this way. If you have the budget use signs and ads in shopper guide type magazines, especially the ones that get mailed to people. Kathy

I would pick newspapers.  But when I say newspapers, I mean a community newspaper.  They are more affordable and target a specific area rather than mass exposure like a mainstream newspaper.

Whe we used penneysaver newspapers..... Our ads were clustered in with other investors....  there still is anywhere from 12 to 20 ads at a time running....

Well, you know what folks do... they call everyone of them and go down the list.... and they don't make a decision until they've talked to all....

Just a waste of time as far as I'm concered....  

Not to mention.... You get a deal this week... but, not one the next... maybe 3 weeks later you get another.... can't plan a business that way... can't just go out and do business as you choose....
