Why Attracting Local Buyers Is Crucial for Open Houses

Real estate professionals know the importance of drawing in local buyers to open houses. Local buyers are more likely to be serious about making a purchase and have stronger motivations to close on properties in their vicinity. However, the big challenge lies in standing out in a competitive market and driving foot traffic to your open house events.

Digital ads and email campaigns are oversaturated, with many of them going unnoticed or even ignored. What if the solution wasn’t online, but in local buyers’ physical mailboxes? Enter SmartMailers™, a game-changing tool that blends the effectiveness of direct mail with the tracking and targeting capabilities of digital technologies.

What is SmartMailers™?

SmartMailers™ is an innovative direct mail solution that helps real estate companies connect with local buyers in a highly-targeted and personalized way. Unlike traditional mail, which may feel impersonal and generic, SmartMailers™ technology creates personalized postcards triggered by real-time customer actions or hyper-local targeting.

What makes SmartMailers™ unique is that it integrates personalization, automation, and real-time tracking features to take direct mail into the modern marketing age. They allow you to deliver professionally designed, attention-grabbing postcards tailored to your audience, with insights to prove ROI.

SmartMailers™ Features That Set You Apart

Hyper-Local Targeting

SmartMailers™ uses advanced audience intelligence and hyper-local targeting features to ensure your message reaches exactly the right people. This means targeting buyers who are more likely to attend your open house based on factors like neighborhood, income, or homeownership status.

Personalization That Resonates

Each postcard is tailored with personalized details, such as the recipient's name, their proximity to the property, or even a customized map of your open house location. This ensures your message feels thoughtful and relevant.

Real-Time Engagement Tracking with SnapCapture™

Every SmartMailer™ postcard includes a personalized QR code. When someone scans it, you’re instantly notified by email or SMS. With their contact information in hand, you can follow up immediately and book property viewings or consultations.

Fully Automated Workflows

SmartMailers™ integrates seamlessly with platforms like Shopify and Klaviyo to automate campaigns based on customer actions. For example, you can trigger postcards to send after someone views a listing on your website.

ROI Tracking and Reporting

Gone are the days of guessing whether your flyers worked. SmartMailers™ provide a real-time dashboard to track campaign performance, so you know exactly who engaged and how much revenue was generated from your efforts.
