I have been marketing to get some leads with bandit sign campaign. I have done about 25 signs a week for the past three weeks and I only got one call. I thought the response rate for bandit sign would be around 10%. So now I will adding direct mail campaign with my bandit signs to see if I can get more leads. I want to know what is working for you in your area? How are you getting most of your leads?

What size are your signs? 18x24 are the "standard". And also.... "WE BUY HOUSES" is generic...What separates your "we buy houses" signs from all the other 92? ....use a different message... and location is everything... you need those bad boys to be seen by as many people as possible!
Direct mail is REALLY good... word of advice though.. everyone starts with the absentee owners list from listsource... that demographic is saturated.. dig deep.. target leads that require work.. that 9 out of 10 other wholesalers aren't doing.. thats what im in the process of doing now... and i've seen how it worked out from the results from my last mailer.
Mailings have been the best producer of leads for me. I liked starting with bandit signs tho, they got me used to talking with sellers and people were calling me to network.
Like @Russell Ponce said mailings are usually the best way to get leads coming in. Bandit signs can work well depending on their location and how easy they are to read from a distance. With direct mail you are getting your advertising right in front of a potential seller..you aren't waiting or hoping for them to drive by, stop, and write down your number.
Have a targeted list...absentee owners, inheritance, divorce, etc and mail to them consistently with yellow letters or postcards.

@Noel Lumbo great advice! Definitely try to find lead sources that take a bit of work to get the leads and then send them a mailer. Less competition equals more deals.
I know signs have been mentioned a lot but I would also recommend a website targeting your local area. Get organic leads using SEO or do PPC ads instead. Its cost effective if your already spending money on signs, mailers, etc. I think incorporating them all in your strategy would give the best results.
