Absentee owners are a special type of target audience because you are dealing with two addresses – the PROPERTY ADDRESS and the MAILING ADDRESS of the owner. As a result, we need a specialized approach for marketing to this audience. If you simply sent a normal “We Buy Houses” postcard or letter, the recipient would assume you are interested in the property at the mailing address.
For this audience, we are using a modern printing technique called variable printing. With variable printing, we can provide postcards that are customized for each absentee owner – with a reference to their PROPERTY ADDRESS as the property which you are interested in buying. We also designed and worded these postcards in such a way that they work well for both in- and out-of-state absentee owners.
NEW! We Buy Houses® ABSENTEE POSTCARD SERIES:
In addition to referencing the city and address of the property, we also enable you to put your PHOTO, NAME and DIRECT PHONE NUMBER on this variable piece, making it a completely custom marketing asset for your business.
Our variable printing pieces, including these absentee owner postcard, are produced by the We Buy Houses Fulfillment Center at GoBig Printing. NOTE: The process is designed to use absentee owner data from LISTSOURCE.com (we can use data from other sources but extra processing will be required).
