Classified Ads For Motivated Sellers

Thanks to all who have posted about classified ads. It sounds like the "We Buy Houses" (or a similar version) is successful for many. My question for those who have been successful with this is twofold: 1) are there several others doing the same thing in your area (I have dozens who advertise in my area and so I'm concerned about the effectiveness); and 2) have the larger local papers or the smaller " neighborhood" papers been a better bang for your buck?

    There is plenty for everyone! Just jump in and start. Someone may like your phone number better, you never know. Good luck

    Have you ever seen a Pizza Hut next to a Burger King next to a McDonalds, next to a KFC next to--------etc??????There's a certain synergy involved.

    The local bird-cage liners have the advantage that the ads are more focused in the areas which interest you. The "big" papers have a more scattered, shotgun effect.

    Im not sure if you saw it, and Im NOT trying to steal Lufos's credit but I will relate what I got from what he said. As I understood it, he said run ad ad that looks like this

    800-123-4567

    we buy houses

    800-123-4567


    Have the 800#'s in bold and the 'we buy' in small. The thot being at a glance your phone # will stick out.

    Great marketing idea

    Good luck
