It is important to keep an eye to costs, as your marketing dollars need to fit into your budget.
One of the first things you should have as a real estate investor and business owner is business cards.
They should be professionally done, not on a inkjet printer with the tear perforation. Your image needs to be professional. The cards should serve not only as a piece for contact information, but also as a marketing tool.
Consider placing a teaser line on the back of the card that says, "Want to earn and extra $500? Contact me for more information." People call you and tell them that you pay on successful close on leads. Now you have a new Bird dog.
When I go out, I always leave a few cards around for people to find. In fact, a colleague I know puts his card in the slot at gas stations where you put in the credit card at the pump. He gets call from that!
