Starting a Yellow Letter Campaign Advice Appreciated
Starting a yellow letter campaign. Any Input Advice Appreciated.
I bought a list of homeowners off listsource with the following parameters. I think Sean Terry said these parameters.
City near me.
Total Assessed Value 0 to $100,000 - first 100 aimed at the $50,000 to $100,000
Property TypeResidential: SFR
Length of Residence10+ Years
(Household) Age65+ Years
ADDRESS-COMPLETENESS Mailing and Property address Complete
CORPORATE-OWNED Exclude
I got 327 from the above criteria for $57. I plan to mail to 100 at first. 49 cents a stamp. Total damage about $107. $107 isn't that much money. But, I can think of more fun things to do with $107 than write a bunch of letters and field some calls.
I plan to write everything in red pen and I almost failed penmanship growing up - so my writing ain't too good which might work better or worse.
Envelope:
My Home Return address - I have some return address stickers laying around I plan to use.
Writing their address in red pen.
What color envelope? Invitation A6?
What stamp should I use? Spiderman to American flag?
Letter:
I plan on using lined legal paper. 11X14 handwritten in red ink again. What is the best size paper?
Says:
Dear X,
I would like to $buy$ your house at 123 main street.
Please call me,
Kirk
Google phone number that includes my local area code.
What kind of voice mail should I have?
I have a preapproval for a VA loan. VA inspections are more geared toward the mechanicals than the bad wallpaper. I targeted a part of town I would like to live in.
Only planning to send 100 letters at least initially. I am hoping to find someone over 65 that is ready to move down to Florida.
Also, if I don't get a deal out the 100. What should I do next? Send out post cards to the same 100 or..??
Thanks in advance for any input,
Kirk
