Direct mail is a great way to put your contact information into the hands of prospective buyers and sellers. However, you can combine this traditional form of real estate marketing with your digital assets. By creating postcards with sold/listed properties, neighborhood market updates, home improvement tips, recipes, and your social media handles, you extend your engagement with potential clients.

Postcards Can Connect Clients to Your Realtor Social Media Marketing

You may have to do some research on which social media platforms your target audiences frequent (The ReaMark sales team can help you with this!). For example, young adults often use Instagram or TikTok, whereas older adults are more likely to be active on Facebook or X (formerly Twitter). If you want to attract young professionals, you may even want to include your LinkedIn profile.

Make Connecting to Your Social Media Easy

Younger people may respond to QR codes on your real estate postcards. On the other hand, those who are less tech-savvy might need clear instructions, such as “Find me on X @yournewrealtor.” or “Check out my Facebook page: facebook.com/myfacebookpage”.

Social Media Marketing Best Practices

Here are a few tips and tricks to apply when adding social media info to your realtor postcards:

• Use social media icons. Incorporating the f logo for Facebook or X for the renamed Twitter can help you save space. These symbols are also highly recognizable to recipients scanning your postcard.
• Promote online content. Have you recently written an article or post that would interest your prospects? Flaunt your online content by including the links on your real estate postcards. You can even blend it with unique, related content on your postcards.
• Find out what works. You can use Google Analytics, Mailchimp, and other tools to find out how your strategy is working. Of course, you’ll need dedicated landing pages to track leads that found you via ReaMark postcards.

How Can You Combine Social Media and Postcard Marketing?

If you want to attract prospective clients to your online spaces, keep the following tips in mind:

• Use custom URLs or QR codes you can track for performance. Short, customized URLs or QR codes are the easiest to use and remember.
• Use consistent branding and messaging. Ensure that your realtor postcards and realtor social media marketing have the same font, colors, style, and tone.
• Use postcards to promote your social media pages. Tease valuable content without giving it away. Share links to blog posts, videos, podcasts, and books that current and future homeowners can use.
