@Scott Costello - that's actually a really good point with the headline thing. I figured just having a web address would arouse enough curiosity, but judging from the amount of views the video has gotten, it only has about a 1/3 view rate.

We'll see- I may have to add on to this strategy.

@Andrew Syrios - in my excitement- I don't think either of things entered my mind, but those are good points. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi BP community-

I'm starting out, marketing to a list of 600 absentee owners with 50% equity in properties, and wanted to try something a bit different than the traditional yellow letter/postcard approach.

So, I've sent postcards with nothing but a web address written. The web address links to a very brief video where I mention who I am, what I do, and the properties I'm looking for.

The idea is that it generates enough curiosity for people to type in the address, and provides a different way of communicating to potential sellers.

It gives them a face and a voice, which I think might be an advantage over simply writing something.

What do you experienced marketers/wholesalers think of this strategy, and why?

Thanks

Dylan

@Chaz Reid - sure thing- I'm willing to help in any way possible. Let me know what your specific needs are, and we could always meet up to discuss ideas before you leave as well.

@Kerry Smith - good to hear from you- coffee and/or lunch sounds awesome; let me know what works for you and we can make it happen. The Coffee Scene in Fayetteville is a pretty awesome place, as a suggestion.

@Chris Pastrana - good to meet you- I sent you a PM/colleague request as well.

@Jacob A. - it's finally happening- that's awesome man- can't wait to hear the final result!

@Larry Lenz - great job!

Hi William,

Welcome to BP!

Here's a good meetup in the area for new investors: http://www.meetup.com/FAYREIA/events/154028162/

It happens on the first Friday of every month, and you should be a member of the Fayetteville REIA to attend. The fee is $100 per year.

Hope to see you there!

Expensive mistake, although those are usually the best learning experiences. Anyway, now you can probably better predict future costs to heat the place.
