ActiveRain/Kodak Sign/Flyer Challenge – My Flyers Flew!

ActiveRain/Kodak Sign/Flyer Challenge – My Flyers Flew!

I no longer use flyer boxes outside the homes I list.  I use an 800# call capture system.  Flyers provide too much all of the information a potential buyer needs.  The buyer would never call the 800#, defeating the purpose of having it! (Please ignore the fact that I am also using QR codes on my signs.  My theory is that very few people know how to use them and will still call the 800#, but the sellers and neighbors will still be impressed with my genius.)

When I did use flyers, depending on whom I wanted to impress, I put out full color flyers and usually featured my other listings on the back.  My thinking there was since it is mostly nosey neighbors taking the flyers, I wanted them to be impressed and keep me in mind for future real estate needs.Brochure

I do put a very nice brochure inside each home for buyers to take after their visit.  It says, ‘This is a very special house!’ and helps the buyer remember all of the special features.  We run out quickly and must replace often even when the buyer has no interest in the home.  I have always suspected the buyer’s agents take a copy for themselves to keep and copy.

I am writing this post as an entry to the ActiveRain/Kodak Sing/FlyerChallenge and have a chance to win the Kodak ESP 6150 All-In-One Printer and ink!

Hi Pat, I think 800# call capture system really works well. I only use flyers outside the home if a seller insists.

Hi Pat, I believe in the capture call system. Everyone does not have a smart phone but most people have a cell phone.

Pat, your last statement made me smile! :) I believe it may be true, though...you never know until the day you see another flyer that strangely resembles yours. ;)

Pat, interesting...buyer's agent taking a flyer away..

Of course, a good idea and a good flyer is destined for sharing. 

When you show homes to buyers, you'll be able to 'catch' this agent.....lol.

Pat - Your flyer is beautiful, colorful and well laid out. I'm sure it leaves lasting impression on potential buyers and I bet other agents do steal your ideas - lol! Hope you win the contest - you certainly get my vote!

Hi Pat, my flyers flew as well and they gave too much information to potential buyers.  I like the call capture system as well.  Good post!
