Anyone had luck sending out letters to realtors?
 
I had one realtor take me up on it, only because he's MY realtor that I'm currently working with. What I found really interesting is that he normally gets restaurant gift certificates at a 25% discount. So...realtors may be reluctant to purchase PC gift certificates or products at full price. Something to think about if you do send out letters and follow up.
 
I think it reaaly depends on what realators give as gifts, i have talked to a few whose realator did not give them anything to a dinner in a box to a garage door opener
 
Nope, I've had no luck at all. I even sent out 35 letters and no takers. :rolleyes:
 
What about the possibility of having an insert in a welcome package? Has anyone tried that?
 
Hmmmm, I have thought of this as well. I had never, however, thought of an insert in the welcome letters they give out to their clients. I will have to figure that one out. LOL

I am just getting started, so any avenue I can get business from is a great idea. LOL
 
I just got back from a Women's Show and spoke with a realtor. I mentioned the PC gift certificates and she seemed interested. She said that she also likes to give gifts. So I was thinking of putting together a few items, maybe one of the gift sets for her to use as house warming gifts and of course put in a card for a free kitchen show, to stock the kitchen or for a housewarming!
