- Compelling Headline: They used a compelling hook of “Sell Your House As-Is For Cash – Fast! No Repairs, No Commissions, No Closing Costs”.
- Eye-Catching Visuals: Used images that resonate with homeowners who might need to sell quickly and included a headshot of the realtor.
- An Offer: They offer FREE moving services!
- Strong Call to Action: Encouraged recipients to contact Cash4Keys via their website or QR code
Mailing Strategy:
- Postcards Mailed: A total of 150,000 postcards were sent out in batches of approximately 11,000 cards each week.
- Mailing Duration: The campaign ran consistently from February through May, totaling 13 mailings.
