How to get your mail piece opened

I want to start sending direct mail to a few subdivisions. I know you're suppose to use a first class stamp and hand address the envelopes. What other ways help to get the mail piece opened?

Don't use a #10 envelope. Use an envelope like the one your grandmother sends on your birthday.

Ok. That's a good idea.

Send a postcard.

Realtor,

If you're going to send a postcard, try offering some kind of free report. That may generate some warm leads.
Also, if you're looking for a card that comes in a 'greeting card' envelope, check out www.uniquefollowup.com.
It's the system I use for my business.

I'm considering this idea Susan. I also found a company that sells real estate postcards.

www.colorforrealestate.com

The reason I chose this system is the ability to insert a photo on the front of the card.
Next month, I the book I co-authored (Million Dollar Marketing Secrets) will be published.
I've uploaded the front cover image to a card. Anyone who purchases the book will get the card sent to them with a personal thank you from me.
I can't figure out how to get the image in this thread. If you pm me, I'd be happy to email it to you.
