As investors we all have heard about, used or at least seen bandit signs. You know those telephone pole cling-ons entitled “We Buy Houses”? Of course, these are bandit signs because they constantly get stolen by the cling-on sign police-the local town do-gooder, the local county manager, etc. Yep, they are only up for about 3 days before they get stolen by one of these sign bandits.
Contrary to what you’re probably theorizing right now, I do not have a cure for the bandits. The purpose here is to introduce a new idea called “Reverse Bandit Signs”. As you probably know,the “We buy Houses” groups and individuals are trying to attract sellers with their signs. However, here’s little trick that has proven to work very well.
Here’s a Possible Example:
“Investor Buyers
Wholesale Properties For Sale
First come first Served
As much as 54% off Market Value
Your Domain Name Here”
Next, post these signs high on busy traffic intersection telephone poles on a Friday night. Make sure they are near real restaurants-not fast food spots. Use someone’s pick up truck to stand in the bed to post it nice and high. This makes it harder for the bandits to reach them to take them down.
These signs will drive investors that really want to buy your deals to your website and they will join your buyers list. Of course be sure to incorporate some auto-responder on the site you send them to so that your response to them can be immediate and automated.
