Money-making real estate direct mails do not stray from the proven direct marketing formula. So although writing real estate postcard marketing content is challenging, investors need not feel lost because there are established marketing guides they can follow and perhaps innovate.

One of the most authoritative marketing formulas is AIDA. I am sure you have heard of it by now, but for the newbie this means to gain your prospects ‘attention’, then continue to engage his ‘interest’; amplify his ‘desire’ to sell their homes to you; and then to lead him to ‘act’ on this desire.

However, even experienced real estate direct marketing professionals don’t pay enough attention to fully developing their ‘call to action’ in their real estate direct mails. Don’t think that your call to action can already be inferred in the body of your letter. Make your call to action especially clearer and bolder in your real estate postcard marketing campaigns.

New investors are also usually diffident when it comes to the ‘call to action’ part of their real estate marketing. They may perceive this as a form of hard selling which their customers will dislike. But think about those effective infomercials on TV. Weren’t they able to sell millions of products within a few minutes?

Profitable infomercials usually have enticing ‘call to actions’. Hence, pay attention to developing the most enticing, exciting, and magnetic ‘call to action’ you can think of. If it’s attractively original, you can even make this ‘call to action’ your brand.

For your postcard mailing to be effective, you must rise above any hesitancy about asking people to call you. You can do every other portion of your mailing absolutely correctly. But if you don’t remind people to act it’s doubtful if your mailing will ever be successful.

Your additional responsibility when developing your real estate postcard marketing campaign is to make it irresistible for your prospects to act right now. Think of ways to make them call you while they are still holding your postcard or direct mail. Because once they put it on top of their mail pile or drawer, you and your offer will be forgotten.

If you can generate enough interest in your sales pitch to get people excited about the prospect of your service, then you need to capitalize on that while the individual reader has that postcard in hand. Don’t be afraid to urge him to pick up the phone right now.

You may want to learn from the call to actions used in infomercials and radio game shows that give incentives to the first batch of callers. If there ideas do not appeal to you, how can these ideas be innovated to fit your service and style?

Create that kind of interest and excitement in your real estate investment service and your postcard mailing will generate you some substantial profits – guaranteed!
