Marketing update - Overcoming Challenges and new mailing

So recently I wrote about some of the challenges I was having in not staying on task with some of my marketing goals.

I have been getting my mailings ready and getting a lot of pieces out regularly so that is good. I also have tried to pick up the slack on some of the other avenues, while not letting all the urgent things that always come up on current properties fall behind.

Good Progress:

1) Have been reviewing and analyzing more things on MLS recently. Actually saw a good potential rental I will prep an offer for this week.

2) Have been posting more Craigslist ads and doing it more regularly. I do need to go through more ads and seek out deals on that side too.

3) Upgraded my car magnets.

Small 1382551267 Large Magnet 1

This one will show the size difference from the old ones:

Small 1382551321 Large Magnet 2

So these will be a bit more readable so upping the possibilities of getting some leads that way.

I also dropped this in the mail yesterday:

Small 1382551404 Postcards 10 22 13

This is by far the biggest single drop I have done at 600 Postcards at once. That gets me up to 1,320 total pieces in about 2.5 weeks.

I also plan on prepping at least another 240-300 tonight while watching Game 1 of the World Series.

Next post will be a results update along with probably that next mailer.

  1. That's too bad you lost it . . . price of doing business, I guess.


    1. I am tending towards that it fell off as there was a loose corner, it was on a bend in the car door, and the loose corner was towards the front (So would catch the wind). Figure if someone was going to steal it they would have taken both. Hope I don't lose the new one when I put it on tomorrow. I will probably stick with the small ones (Of which I have copious numbers of) for the foreseeable future.


    2. Last sentence was meant to say "I will probably stick with the small ones (Of which I have copious numbers of) for the foreseeable future if I lose my other big one."


  2. Son of a B*tch! So I was worried about something happening to my magnets which is why I spent a couple weeks with my small super cheap ones, then moved up to my nice branded ones that were still small and then finally the big ones that did cost a little bit of money. I figured I was being paranoid since nothing had happened to anything, but one of the big ones was off when I looked at it today! Not sure if it was stolen or if it fell off (one corner was not laying totally flat) but the thing wasn't on more than 2 days (it was the passenger side so it may have been off longer than I realized). Put a small one back on that side (Driver side is still there) and I do have a 3rd big one (Bought them 2.5-3 years ago so no idea why I bought 3:) ) and will put that one back on. Just had to vent a little since I was worried about exactly that happening!
