$4K Saved and Smarter Postcard Marketing with Wise Pelican

Nicole Stotelmyer case study banner.

Exit Success Realty, located in Martinsburg, West Virginia, is proof that strategic, hyper-local marketing can make a big impact—even in smaller markets. With just under 20,000 residents in town and 26 agents on their roster, the brokerage has seen measurable results using Wise Pelican’s high-quality postcards as part of their direct mail strategy. Spearheaded by Marketing Director Nicole Stotelmyer, the switch to Wise Pelican helped the team save thousands of dollars, increase local visibility, and generate new business for multiple agents.

Strategic Marketing That Grows the Brokerage

Nicole’s marketing approach blends digital, print, social, and even TV ads—but it’s Wise Pelican’s postcards that have proven to be a consistent and impactful part of their outreach.

Every time an agent closes a property, the office sends 100 postcards to the surrounding one-mile radius, keeping the agent top-of-mind in that neighborhood. With 10–15 postcard campaigns going out per month, this approach has helped grow their team and generate more listings.

A Clear Upgrade From the Previous Vendor

After struggling with quality and user experience from a previous postcard company, Nicole was given the green light to look for something better. Her switch to Wise Pelican paid off—literally. The postcards were not only easier to design and send, but the improved quality and lower cost allowed Exit Success Realty to save nearly $4,000 in just a few months.

Postcards That Actually Get Noticed

Wise Pelican’s oversized postcards stand out in the mailbox—and in the community. Even if recipients don’t keep them, Nicole emphasizes that “it still puts Exit Success in front of their face,” helping to build local brand awareness. Several agents have received direct calls from these mailers, turning printed cards into real conversations, leads, and closings.

Efficient, Accurate, and Cost-Saving

The team takes advantage of Wise Pelican’s mailing list tools to target specific addresses and neighborhoods with precision. If an address is invalid or undeliverable, Wise Pelican automatically issues a refund—ensuring no wasted marketing spend. The simplicity of the platform combined with responsive customer service has made Nicole’s job easier while increasing campaign results.
