holiday postcards

    Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring heroes — it’s also a perfect moment to reignite your real estate marketing.

    According to the National Retail Federation, over 60% of Americans make major purchases or plan moves between May and July. Strategic direct mail during Memorial Day taps into this natural momentum.

    1. Connect Emotionally with a Seasonal Messaging

    Memorial Day themes of gratitude, community, and new beginnings create an emotional backdrop. Tie your message to these sentiments.

    A heartfelt, local touch builds trust, and according to the USPS 2024 Mail Data Report, 70% of consumers feel mail is more personal than online communications.

    2. Stand Out in a Busy Market

    As the spring market heats up, homeowners are flooded with real estate advertising via digital ads, email, social media, and direct mail. 

    Holiday postcards are uniquely focused on celebrating and connecting with the homeowner receiving them. While other real estate marketing is geared more toward promoting a sale or listing, this results in you standing out in the market with a unique message.

    In addition, the Association of National Advertisers reports that direct mail has a 5.3% response rate, outperforming email, paid search, and social media.

    3. Showcase Listings and Special Promotions

    Sending a holiday postcard doesn’t mean you forgo promoting a listing or applying a powerful call to action. Postcard backs are a perfect location for these messages. Feature new listings, free home valuations, or limited-time Memorial Day incentives on your postcard back. Any offers that create urgency, like a limited time Free Direct Response Report opt in.

    Even a small “holiday exclusive” nudge can spark action — 61% of consumers say they’re more likely to engage with brands offering seasonal promotions (NRF).

    4. Target Neighborhoods Strategically

    Use targeted mailing lists to send postcards to neighborhoods showing high turnover or homeowner tenure of 7+ years. our Demographic Search Tool makes it easier than ever to pinpoint likely sellers in this category and a generate a mailing list in just minutes.

    5. Strengthen Relationships

    Even if they’re not ready to move today, Memorial Day direct mail plants seeds. Staying visible during key holidays with your sphere and farm leads to stronger brand recall when they are ready to list. Consider adding a postcard back promoting your personally branded Homes & Life Magazine.

          Valentine’s Day isn’t just about chocolates and roses—it’s also a prime opportunity for real estate agents to build lasting connections. A heartfelt Valentine’s postcard reminds past clients, prospects, and your local market that you’re more than just a business—you’re a trusted neighborhood expert.

          Why Valentine’s Day Postcards Work

          Valentine’s Day postcards. To see more, Click Here.

          Valentine’s Day is universally recognized, making it a fun, low-barrier way to engage your audience. Unlike a standard business card or market update, a themed postcard feels personal, memorable, and unexpected. According to the Direct Marketing Association, direct mail has a 4.4% response rate, significantly higher than email’s 0.12%.

           

          Types of Valentine’s Day Postcards

          • Clever & Funny: Humor makes you memorable. Puns like “I’d be ‘open house’ to your referrals!” keep your brand top-of-mind.
          • Appreciative & Endearing: A simple “Thank you for your trust and referrals!” strengthens client relationships.
          • Selling-Focused: “Fall in love with your dream home this year!” keeps the message festive while encouraging action.

          Why Holiday Direct Mail Works

          Real estate is a timing game, and holiday postcards stand out. The U.S. Postal Service reports that households keep direct mail for 17 days on average, far longer than digital ads.

          Make Your Postcards Work Harder

          1. Include a Call to Action – Drive traffic to your website or schedule a call.
          2. Leverage Social Media – Post your design online for extra engagement.
          3. Personalize Where Possible – A handwritten note makes a big impact.

          Spread the love this Valentine’s Day—your next client might be just a postcard away!

              Building trust and recognition within your community is essential for long-term success as a real estate professional.

              One simple yet powerful way to establish and reinforce your presence is to send 100 holiday postcards to homes within a 10-mile radius of where you live.

              Here are four ways this strategic outreach can stimulate new leads and listings:

              1. Personal Touch Builds Trust Holiday postcards are more than just marketing materials; they are a genuine way to connect with your community.

              Wishing your neighbors warm holiday greetings positions you as a friendly, relatable figure rather than just another agent. This approach fosters goodwill, reminding them that a knowledgeable and approachable real estate expert is nearby.

              2. Introduce Yourself as the Local Expert Many homeowners may not know that a real estate professional lives just down the street. By sending a holiday card, you introduce yourself and share that you’re not just a neighbor but an expert ready to assist with real estate needs.

              This subtle introduction plants the seed for future interactions and encourages neighbors to reach out when they need guidance on buying or selling.

              The Holiday Scheduled Campaign is shown above. To learn more, Click Here.

              3. Stand Out from the Competition In the digital age, physical mail still holds an exceptional value.

              A well-designed holiday postcard with a friendly photo and a personalized note helps you stand out from the flood of online advertisements.

              When homeowners see your face and read your greeting, it’s a memorable touch that makes you their top-of-mind contact for real estate needs.

              4. A Soft Way to Market Services Including a simple line, such as “Your neighborhood real estate expert wishing you a wonderful holiday season!” ensures that recipients know what you do without feeling like they’re being marketed to.

              This non-intrusive approach invites curiosity and opens the door for conversations about their future real estate plans.

              Sending 100-holiday postcards to your surrounding neighborhood is a practical, personable, and strategic way to build connections, establish credibility, and stimulate leads.

              This simple investment in seasonal outreach could yield long-term relationships, referrals, and new listings, making it a win-win for your business.

                The holiday season might seem like a slow time for real estate, but it’s a great opportunity to stand out and stay in mind with potential clients.

                While buyers and sellers might be focused on celebrations, you can still generate leads and build your brand through creative holiday marketing strategies. Here’s how to make the most of the festive season!

                Holiday-themed campaigns that shine

                Creating festive, personalized marketing campaigns is one of the best ways to engage clients during the holidays. Consider sending holiday cards, offering seasonal service discounts, or running a “12 Days of Real Estate” campaign highlighting a new tip daily.

                These campaigns keep your name in front of clients while tapping into the festive spirit.

                The Holiday scheduled campaign is shown above. To learn more, Click Here.

                Use social media to boost engagement

                Social media is a powerful tool for holiday marketing. To increase visibility, create engaging posts featuring holiday-themed home staging tips, showcase cozy property listings, or even host a holiday giveaway.

                Be sure to use festive hashtags like #HolidayHomes or #CozyListings to expand your reach and build connections with potential buyers and sellers.

                Don’t forget about direct mail

                The holiday season is the perfect time for direct mail marketing. Send postcards with market updates on the back and holiday greetings on the front to past clients and targeted neighborhoods.

                It’s a simple yet thoughtful way to remind your sphere of influence that you’re ready to help them find their dream home or sell in the new year.

                By incorporating these creative holiday strategies, your real estate business will thrive throughout the season.

                  Consistency in marketing is key to building recognition, trust, and long-term relationships, and holiday postcards offer a perfect, positive way to accomplish this.

                  Statistics show that consistent marketing yields far better results over time. According to the Data & Marketing Association (DMA), a prospect must hear from a business at least seven times before taking action.

                  Additionally, businesses that stay in regular contact with their audience are 60% more likely to be remembered when they are ready to make a decision.

                   

                  This is why one-time mailings don’t have the same impact. Repetition builds familiarity, and familiarity builds trust, leading to a higher return on investment (ROI).

                  Holiday postcard marketing

                  Holiday postcards are especially effective because people love receiving them. They feel personal, festive, and thoughtful, making your message stand out in a positive way.

                  During the holidays, a well-designed postcard can convey warmth and good wishes while keeping your name and services in mind. It’s a subtle but powerful reminder of your real estate expertise without being overtly salesy.

                  Schedule your campaigns

                  Best of all, setting up a scheduled campaign on PRospectsPLUS! is incredibly easy and efficient. You can launch a campaign in just a few minutes.

                  Choose your design, customize your message, and schedule your postcards to be mailed monthly. Once set, your campaign runs automatically, keeping you in front of your market with minimal effort.

                  By committing to this consistent marketing approach, you’ll position yourself as a reliable, thoughtful agent, increasing your chances of long-term success.

                    The fact that 89% of homebuyers say they will use their agent again says a lot about the fantastic job real estate agents do with their clients.  

                    Yet, only 12% of buyers used their former agent when buying another home (NAR).

                    Weird, isn’t it?

                    Something happens – or doesn’t – between the closing table and the time your client engages in another real estate transaction.

                    Let’s cure the disconnect between “first-timer” and “client-for-life.”

                    Former clients are “warm” contacts

                    Unlike picking up the phone for cold calling, a call to a former client is like calling a friend.

                    It is one of the more comfortable tasks in an agent’s business. If they hired you in the past, they clearly know, like, and trust you. 

                    Your only job with these past clients, at least right now, is to remain top-of-mind with them.

                    Here’s just one reason why:

                    “Depending on which study you believe and what industry you’re in, acquiring a new customer is anywhere from five to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one,” claims Amy Gallo at Harvard Business Review.

                    Here’s another stat that you may find impressive, “Increasing customer retention rates by 5% increases profits by 25% to 95%”, Frederick F. Reichheld and Phil Schefter, Harvard Business School

                    The Holiday scheduled campaign is shown above. To learn more, Click Here.

                    Large and splashy or understated?

                    Reaching out to former clients doesn’t have to cost a lot or be overly extravagant.

                    A phone call, a postcard dropped in the mail, or a check-in on social media are all perfectly appropriate ways to get your name back in front of a past client.

                    Here are a few more inexpensive ways to reach out to former clients:

                    • Put together a quarterly market update and direct mail it to former clients.
                    • Keep in touch via a monthly or quarterly mailed newsletter
                    • Send out birthday, anniversary, and annual home anniversary postcards.
                    • Include them in Just listed/Just sold postcards you’re mailing to announce transactions near your clients’ homes.
                    • Take them out for coffee, cocktails, or lunch.

                    Naturally, a large and splashy “touch” would be more memorable. These include client appreciation events. The key to a successful client retention strategy is consistency. 

                    The most important part of these conversations

                    The question used to be, “Who do you know that might be thinking of buying or selling a home?”

                    Today, the question is best when it’s narrowed down.

                    If you have read the book Guerrilla Marketing in 30 Days, you are familiar with this concept. In it, Jay Conrad Levinson suggests trying to narrow “… the universe of those you ask.”

                    Here’s an example:

                    Marcy is a former client who loves playing tennis. Instead of using the broad question, narrow it down to “Who do you play tennis with who might be thinking of buying or selling a home?”

                    Instead of combing through her mental database of everyone she knows, her mind turns to the tennis court and her conversations with fellow players.

                    Former clients most likely want your services when they buy or sell real estate.

                    Don’t let so much time go by that they forget your name. Reach out and stay in touch with them to stop leaving what should be easy money on the table.

                          According to economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal, they think there’s a 28% chance of a recession within the next year. This figure, by the way, is up from last year’s prediction of a 13% chance of a recession.

                          If you don’t think that your clients and potential clients are worried about a coming recession, did you know:

                          In a recent CNBC poll, “81% [of U.S. adults] say they are concerned the U.S. will face a recession in 2022.”

                          So, what will you say to your clients and potential clients when they express hesitancy to jump into the real estate market because they’ve read there’s a recession coming?

                          Here are some pointers to keep their confidence high.

                          Can’t fault the housing market this time

                          Economists state that it won’t be a faltering housing market that causes the possible 2022 or 2023 recession. Instead, if it happens, they expect it to be triggered by the Fed’s efforts to curb it.

                          Those efforts to get prices under control come with a risk: “… the central bank will do too much, sinking the economy in the process,” according to Matt Egan at CNN.com.

                          Economists point to the differences between the market in 2008 and today. Think back to the Great Recession. That housing bubble, economists agree, was caused by the easy access to mortgages. 

                          Today’s market is influenced by supply and demand and, “… this time around, household finances are stronger and home values remain at historic highs,” claims Alcynna Lloyd at BusinessInsider.com.

                          So, how does this knowledge calm your clients’ nerves?

                          According to experts, there will be no housing bubble to explode in their faces. Therefore, remind them that anyone with a heartbeat could get a mortgage prior to the Great Recession. Today, lending rules are much more stringent, leading to far more qualified buyers looking for homes.

                          Finally, not all recessions are like the recession of 2008 and a recession doesn’t automatically equal a housing crisis.

                          Homeowners have nothing to worry about

                          If a recession comes to pass, homeowners should ride it out quite well.

                          They’re also sitting on a ton of equity right now – equity that isn’t likely to dissipate during the forecasted recession. 

                          Huh?

                          During the five recessions prior to the 2008 recession, home prices actually increased. 

                          Overall, the jobs market is so strong right now that a recession is unlikely to impact home prices and, thus, values.

                          If we listen to the experts, your clients have nothing to worry about when it comes to the real estate market. Don’t let them buy into the media hype and you’ll keep them in the market.
