Campaign Converts 49 New Landlords from “We’ve Got Your Back” Postcard
“This was the easiest campaign we’ve ever run — it built trust instantly.”
The Challenge
A local property management firm wanted to expand its portfolio by targeting homeowners renting out properties for the first time. These “accidental landlords” needed guidance, but were often overlooked by traditional real estate ads.
The Strategy
OMNI reach launched a confidence-building direct mail campaign offering a free First-Time Landlord Starter Guide. The postcard used a friendly headline and emphasized simple, stress-free property management. AI targeting focused on newly rented properties, homes inherited or moved out of recently, and people who searched for landlord-related content online. QR codes led to a guide request and consultation form. Matching Facebook and Google ads supported the campaign with warm visuals and tips-based content.
The Results
From 8,100 postcards mailed, the campaign generated 67 QR downloads and 49 new landlord accounts. These resulted in $74,400 in annual contract value, covering rent collection, tenant placement, and light repairs. ROI was 956%, and customer satisfaction surveys showed strong long-term loyalty.
