Their core offerings include paid media (paid search and social), performance creative, email and SMS marketing, and retention strategies.

  • Wise Pelican

    Marketing

    Wise Pelican is a direct mail marketing platform designed primarily for real estate agents and other small businesses. They identified a gap in the market for a simple and effective direct mail solution for real estate agents who needed to generate listings but faced challenges with existing services, such as high minimum order requirements and the inability to target specific demographics like homeowners versus renters. This necessity led Geoff to create Wise Pelican to streamline the direct mail process. The company provides a self-service platform that allows users to create and send customized direct mail campaigns, including postcards, letters, and brochures. Key features include an "Express Editor" for customizing templates, MLS integration to automatically populate listings with photos and details, a mailing list builder with advanced targeting options like drawing a polygon on a map, and mail tracking through the USPS system. The platform also offers automated seller valuation tools that use unique QR codes to capture leads. Wise Pelican aims to make direct mail straightforward, with no minimum order requirements on many of its products, making it accessible for agents to consistently market to their target areas. Revenue is generated through a pay-per-piece model and subscription plans. The subscriptions offer lower per-postcard pricing and additional features for agents who mail a higher monthly volume. The plans are tiered based on the number of postcards sent monthly, such as Starter, Growth, Accelerate, and Dominate. The company also offers a "Set It and Forget It" option, which is an automated campaign service that handles design, printing, and delivery each month. While its core focus is real estate, the service is also built for other entrepreneurs and small businesses that can benefit from targeted direct mail.
