Podcast



Direct mail isn’t dead. It just needs better execution. Amber Freeman from PostcardMania joins Jessey to talk real numbers behind mail campaigns, what response rates to actually expect, and how to improve deliverability with smarter targeting.

They also dig into what makes a postcard actually convert, why land investors often get lazy with data hygiene, and the biggest mistakes to avoid when mailing cold. Amber shares her take on A2P, USPS changes, the psychology of print, and the role of branding even in off-market marketing.

Whether you’re mailing for land, houses, this one cuts through the fluff with real insights from both sides of the table.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why consistency still beats creativity in direct mail

  • What a good response rate actually looks like in 2026

  • The biggest mistake investors make when mailing lists

  • How USPS changes and A2P are affecting deliverability

  • Why your postcard design probably isn’t the problem

  • How branded mail works better than generic offers

  • What’s changed in consumer behavior since 2020
