Each week we receive tens of flyers and coupons of junk mail by post. Very rarely do we look to keep it. In fact, most of the time things like real estate postcards fall from our mailboxes and just eventually decompose in our front yards. Of course, one shouldn't always overlook these advertisements. In many situations, they're an important part of the company's image and acknowledging receipt of them might get you somewhere.
In today's world, when people are out shopping they're on the hunt for deals. In order to get the best deals, many won't go further than their living room. And why not? Simply open your laptop, search for a coupon, and it's usually yours with a quick print.
Yet, it's this digitized world that has crushed the olden ways of paper delivery, that has made them 'dreaded,' as opposed to their general mission: an invitation.
Sure companies are all equipped with webpages, and that will from now on remain the go-to source of contact. However, what many people don't realize is that real estate is still a very involved person-to-person conversation. It relies on getting to know clients and on becoming comfortable with them.
With all this virtual media happening, real estate postcards have become a lesser known source of value. Of course, they're not. Mostly, these days, they're sent in stacks that are meant to match the opinions of many. This is because realtors are still looking to strike that connection. It's a rough time now, but that doesn't mean people aren't looking for a change in their lives, or that third bedroom for the little one. But we're just disposing of this idea the minute it's put on the table.
More importantly, the hidden information about real estate postcards, is what they can offer you.
The first representation is an incentive for referral. Why it might not amount to much, in this economy, you have to take your swings. Realtors understand that, and so they're willing to come up with other incentives than the standbys.
There's no real knowing of where the reward might take you. It isn't going to be a trip around the world, so we should dispel such rumors right now. However, it is often a generous gift card, and isn't that something more than what you were anticipating when that junk mail met your hand?
In the end, though, it isn't necessarily a free gift. What it really is is a chance to build a better relationship. Isn't that what we want in the times of today that are so busied with profit mongers and electronic billboards? It's a good feeling to travel back in time, if even just with a phone call and a handshake.
That said, real estate postcards are one of the ways they do it! Say you receive that card in the mail. You've been thinking about moving. Just by making that call and saying that the postcard made you do it, you might get rewarded. When real estate companies have their methods acknowledged, they want to acknowledge you. Remember that next time you go to toss out what could be a found gift!
