Our Next Postcard AFTER The Election | Postcards Are Everywhere Now

Hello Barbara - no "secret" recordings are necessary to know your feelings about the effectiveness of direct mail advertising.  It is proven.  And it is certainly well-documented.  No one can say it's hearsay.  Absolutely no one!

Hello Barbara Todaro,  I just label post cards yesterday while watching Nascar.  Makebe I will wait to drop them in the mail.

Barbara that is a great post.

As far as political post card, so far I have not gotten any, but I am sure they will start to come soon.

Barbara Todaro 

You raise a great point, but I'm still doing Just Listed Cards and I may hold off and do a bunch of Just Solds after the election for all mt summer/fall production. Thoughts on this?

My keep in touch database mailer, should I postpone that for 3 months in Sep/Oct/Nov?

OH my gosh, I'm so glad I read this - I was JUST about to send out two neighborhood cards. You're SO right, Barbara! I grab ahold of the postcards in my mail, separating the envelopes from them, and toss them right into the recycle bin...and I'm sure I'm in the majority here! It didn't even register with me how annoying my cards would be right now. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 

And, we miss you on Tuesdays...I hope you'll join us next week for our meeting with Ben.

Being consistant is the key.  Clients may throw postcards away over and over again...until they need you.  They will remember your name and admire your persistance.

The postcard will be discarded eventually, so, doesn't it depend on the content of the post card? Informative, useful information attached to your brand, or name of your company should secure the attention of the recipient along with a compelling call to action with an expiration date to receive a limited time benefit should get your phone to ring or email request for redeeming the postcard benefit.

Back to school, Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays occur during the general election period, so, seeking partners to co-op a benefit package to reduce or save consumers money with timely benefits keeps your brand at the front of your target market's awareness mindset. Regardless, I always enjoy your posts and insightful information. 

Hi Barbara... love this post card and the message. It should get attention. And I'll be stealing the idea from you (just so you know).

Excellent point!  Don't want your card lost in the others. Just before voting day, our household gets at least 2-3 per day for a week or so

Good morning Barbara. How do I miss your posts? Thanks to Kathy Streib I caught this one. Point well made. Advice not often taken. Enjoy your day!

Barbara Todaro - everyone regardless of affiliation is taking your lead.  You can't argue with success.

I am getting many right now from agents who I think are trying to beat the political ads, which i have not seen that many of yet. But I like your card.

Good morning Barbara Todaro ,

I'm so glad I saw your post in Kathy Streib's "Ah-ha" moments for the week! Excellent card and great message. I've been tossing thos political potscards too..so many and they keep coming!

We don't get many postcards here, but oh the e-mail! There's always been tons of junk, but now it's worse. And every one of them wants money. For whatever reason, I'm also getting a flood of stock market and health cures email. Of course they want money too.

Hi Barbara Todaro - I have always believed in the concept of direct mailing as well.  As long as I have been in real estate, I have opted out of direct mailing during the election season and Christmas.  I usually opt for a Thanksgiving and New Year message. 

Barbara our circular bin has been getting far too much attention this past few months. Can't wait till it ends!

That makes perfect sense.  Not as many postcards hit my mailbox, like yours, but appreciate the deck of cards phrase!  Good advice!

Barbara, this is a great postcard to send, and boy, our homeowners are sure seeing good equity.  (as long as they have not taken money out...)

This year I have been fortunate not getting any politcal election materials in the mail. I have rec'd may be 3-4 realtors wanting me to sell my home. So far so good.

I saw the mailbox truck is loaded with packages. He smiled that there is a lot of online delivery and showed up in everyone recycling bin on discard boxes.
