Real‑Estate Postcards Success Story

Direct Mail Marketing for a commercial real estate brokerage in Louisville, KY

Postcard for commercial real estate brokerage in Louisville, KY

The Challenge

A commercial real estate brokerage in Louisville, KY aimed to attract new listings. Digital ads fell short, so they switched to Direct Mail Marketing in Louisville, KY to target local business owners and property managers.

The Solution

To capture listing-ready conversations from local decision-makers, we ran direct mail marketing in Louisville, KY—purpose-built direct mail marketing for commercial real estate—with a credibility-first postcard that put a no-cost property evaluation in every owner/manager’s hands.

A clean, business-focused postcard campaign was launched:

  • Credibility Headline: “Free Property Evaluation for Commercial Listings.” An offer of tangible value positioned the firm as solution-oriented.
  • Personal Branding: Photo of brokerage agent on the mailer. Humanized the outreach and built trust at first glance.
  • Targeted List: Mailed to local commercial property managers and investors. Focused mailing ensured relevancy and higher-quality responses.
  • Follow-up System: Prompt phone or email contact to respondents after initial contact. Quick follow-up helped convert inquiries into meetings and signed listings.

Together, these moves converted mailbox visibility into booked consults and signed listings, with clean attribution to guide the next mailing cycle.
