The Challenge
A real estate investor wanted to find and close deals with homeowners behind on payments or facing foreclosure. The challenge was timing and urgency — reaching people before they engaged other investors or real estate agents.
The Strategy
OMNI reach launched a direct mail campaign with a bold message: “Sell Your Home for Cash Today — Avoid Foreclosure.” The postcards were sent to distressed homeowners using AI targeting, including ZIP codes known for high foreclosure rates, property distress, and late payments. A QR code was included for immediate access to a confidential cash offer form. Digital ads on Facebook and Google ran concurrently to reinforce the offer and encourage quick action.
The Results
7,500 postcards were mailed, leading to 112 QR code scans and 7 homes successfully sold for cash. The total sales volume amounted to $470,000, with an ROI of 1,245%. Most clients mentioned they acted on the offer because of the clear, fast option to avoid foreclosure.
