I did go to some Real Estate Agencys to give them flyers and catalogs. Well of course the front desk lady took it and I don`t know it they really gave it to the agents, because I didn`t hear anything from them:(

However I wanna give it another try, but this time I either wanna email them my flyers or mail it to them. Which one do you think is better.

If I email it what could I write as the subject so they don`t delete it cause they think it is spam.

nobody that has any idea?
 
There's one in the files section that you can mail.
I mailed a bunch last fall but never heard anything back. Hope you have better luck than I did!
 
I would call and ask for an agent directly to follow up after mailing or emailing the flyer. You can put on the flyer, I will call you on ________ to see if you are interested. Just like any other potential recruit/customer, the key is follow up. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
 
You're going to have to call them to follow up-- it's really unlikely that they will call you.I used to be a Realtor, and can tell you that I would get at LEAST 150 flyers a week. Even if they were given out, they could have very easily been overlooked.My suggestion is to speak with the office manager or managing broker to see if you can come speak at their weekly meeting. Then, take food, and go give a five minute talk about your offerings. That will make much more of an impact than any piece of paper.Another idea is to offer to team up with them on their Brokers Opens. You provide the food, and they'll put your name with theirs on their flyer for the open house. You set up a little spread, and meet & greet the agents who come, right along with the hosting agent.

Thank you so much for your answers.
 
Lucky,

I sent out 120 of these by email last week with the subject heading of "Real Estate." I did not get one response. I think Kimmy's suggestions are very viable.
