The Problem:

• Traditional real estate marketing tactics weren’t providing adequate Return on Investment.
• For 15 years, Dale Ross used postcards as his primary marketing tool. He went from mailing 200 postcards each month to 1,800 every three weeks. 
• They did create awareness, however, the ROI was insignificant.
• Ross wanted to increase his average sale price, and he knew he needed a more robust direct mail piece. So, Ross created a newsletter on his own that cost him 80 cents each and 20 hours to complete.
• After a while of sending his newspaper, Ross realized that he needed an easier and more cost effective way to differentiate himself from his competition and generate more listings.

The Solution:

To meet his objectives, Ross turned to Discover Publications. He found that customized direct mail newspapers from Discover were much less expensive than his previous newspapers, and found that:

• Newspapers are attractive vehicles with space to showcase large amounts of listings
• The publications combine the influential power of direct mail towards purchase decision making with the soft-sell, reliable resource approach
• His prospects prefer them over postcards
• Rather than delivering strictly sales information and advertising, newspapers deliver the information that prospects want and will take the time to read
