hey all - i have been doing all sorts of marketing - hand-written and printed bandit signs, post cards to absentee, yellow letters to vacants or ugly owner occupied houses, car magnets, flyers, door hangers…what’s working out there?
In all honesty our best leads are coming through the net. We’ve tried radio ads, fliers, banners, leaflets, newspaper ads etc… But in hindsight it would have been a lot smarter to have scrapped half of those ideas and push the money to the internet for PPC or organic SEO hours.
BANDIT SIGNS BABY! :cool
Don’t under estimate the power of this. Get them things up so high that they are not easy to take down. And please don’t put your cell or home phone number on it. lol. There is a way to do this, and have all the calls routed to your cell.
Check out this funny video explaining bandit signs. :lol
Check out this [b]funny[/b] video explaining bandit signs
Eh…not so much.
Plus, what’s the point of your video?
Not to mention, it explained nothing about bandit signs.

I like…hell…LOVE bandit signs…obviously…and direct mailing
sellers of houses. An excellent tactic with bandit signs
is to aim at sellers meeting a specific demographic,
for instance military famlies. They are highly transient
and there is a definite time motivation. Once you’ve
identified a market segment, in this case , military families,
learn their lingo. For instance, military people “PSC”
(Permanent Change of Station), “Get Orders”, and go “TDY”
(Temporary Duty Assignment).
Use that language on your bandit signs. For every vocation,
recreation or subculture there’s a language or lexicon that
we use. Use this to show a familairity with that market.
Most investors will stick to the hapless “WE BUY HOUSES”
bandit signs and be perplexed that they get no qualified leads.
Hope this helps!!!
Jason,
If you pay attention to the video you would see that this charter I am referring to is called the “Bandit Sign Bandit.” This video is explaining the effectiveness of bandit sign marketing. It is showing that they have a strong presences by how bright, and straight forward they are.
The “Bandit Sign Bandit” is the voice of the marketing piece “the bandit sign” and with this video I am creatively trying to voice the coalition between the two.
It would also help if you had a little more knowledge about creative real estate marketing. That is what I am trying to show here. Hey guys, thanks for the good feed back of my video. I was happy with the turn out.
Also Jason, you might want to try marketing bandit signs. It could boost your wholesaling business.
Cheers, :beer

Bandit signs have been hit and miss for me. They have helped much more selling than buying for me as well. I have had a few “bad experiences” with certain municipalities that like to think they are important. Of course that hasn’t stopped me from using them but care must be taken. Some areas could care less and they last a long time as others have suggested.
All you have to do is put them up in areas that you buyers want to buy in. When you start to get calls you will already be in the green because it is in your cash buyers area. Screening the seller is all that you have to do now to create your profit.
