Choose Your Target Market
Targeting the right neighborhoods or creating a strategic mailing list is key to maximizing the impact of your postcards.
Here’s how you can choose the best areas for your outreach:
• Community Engagement: Consider neighborhoods where you are already actively involved or want to build connections. If you live in the area or are engaged in local events, your postcard campaign will feel more personal and genuine.
• Recent Transactions: Focus on neighborhoods where you’ve recently closed deals. By staying in front of these residents, you’re reinforcing your presence and expertise in the area, making it easier to earn future referrals.
• Prospective Sellers: Look for neighborhoods with homes that may be ripe for selling. This could include areas with homes that are aging, or neighborhoods where you know market activity is about to pick up. Postcards featuring market trends or home valuation tips are a great way to get sellers thinking about listing their property.
• New Listings: If you have a new listing in a particular neighborhood, target that area with postcards showcasing the property or market data. Neighbors often want to know what’s happening around them, and this can generate interest in potential buyers or sellers.
• Neighborhood Growth: Focus on neighborhoods showing signs of growth or development. Whether its new construction, businesses moving in, or infrastructure improvements, people in these areas are likely to be more engaged with market updates and local happenings.
• Market Demographics: If you’re looking to attract a particular type of client (e.g., first-time homebuyers, luxury sellers), target neighborhoods that align with those demographics. Consider factors like home prices, school districts, or neighborhood amenities that may appeal to your ideal clients.
• Sphere of Influence: Utilize Caine Direct to stay top of mind with those who know, like, and trust you. Great for maintaining and increasing referral business.
By strategically selecting neighborhoods or areas that align with your current business and growth goals, you’ll ensure your postcards are being sent to the right audience, making your outreach more effective!

Thinking about selling your home before the year wraps up? Here are three reasons to consider it now:
1. Motivated Buyers: As the year comes to a close, many buyers are eager to make a move—whether due to job changes, tax incentives, or simply wanting to settle in before the holidays.
1. Less Competition: The fall and winter months typically bring fewer homes to the market, giving your property a better chance to shine. With less
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 365°F
2. Season the pork with salt and pepper
3. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork and brown well on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
4. Remove the pork and add the onion wedges to the pot. Cook for a few minutes, letting them get a little color but being careful not to let them burn.
5. Return the pork to the pot, placing it on the bed of onions. Add the cider and 1 cup (235 ml) water and bring to a simmer, then wedge the apple pieces under the meat among the onions. Toss in the thyme.
6. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender, shreds easily, and is a deep brown color; the apples will have caramelized. Text me a photo of your finished meal. I’d love to see how you like it!
