SOI Marketing: Direct Mail Postcards and Letters

It’s hard to imagine how much the marketing landscape has changed over the years. Once upon a time, hard mail marketing was the go-to method for reaching everyone in your sphere of influence (SOI) target niche-market quickly. However, with the rise of social media, the idea of sending out physical letters or postcards seems almost quaint and outdated. Nowadays, social media platforms offer a prevalent and cost-effective way to connect with people. Nevertheless, there is still something unique and attention-grabbing about receiving a tangible piece of mail amidst the sea of digital notifications. That is why it's surprising that so few real estate agents invest in consistently executed hard mail marketing campaigns. By doing so, they have the opportunity to build and maintain top-of-mind presence, setting themselves apart from competitors and ultimately winning over clients.

When it comes to hard mail marketing, there are different levels of impact that can be achieved depending on what is sent to a business prospect or real estate agent's sphere of influence (SOI). For instance, a postcard may have an immediate impact but is often discarded. However, it still creates a top-of-mind presence. On the other hand, a professional letter not only has an immediate impact but also has a delayed impact as the recipient knows it contains valuable information worth reading. They may file it away for future reference. Finally, a handwritten note not only has an immediate impact but also leaves a long-term emotional impression. The time and sincerity invested in selecting a card, writing the note, and sending it via traditional mail make a handwritten note truly special. It is highly likely that a thoughtful and personalized note will be kept and cherished, never to be thrown away. In summary, each type of hard mail marketing piece has its own unique benefits and levels of impact in reaching real estate agents and maintaining a strong connection with their SOI.

As it goes in life and business, the more difficult and expensive something is to do, the fewer individuals will be willing to take on the challenge. However, it is those who are willing to confront these difficulties head-on that truly shine amidst the masses and attain ultimate success. By facing the challenges that others shy away from, you will set yourself apart and unlock a world of unparalleled opportunities.
