Thanks for the support everyone, hopefully it was the fact that I linked to your wonderful tweets & blog posts that opened Apple’s eyes. Hopefully they’ll approve the new binary shortly.Īpple, you continue to amaze me with your revolutionary and magical approval process. Since the original binary was submitted a few months ago, the version on the app store does not include the latest changes applied in LittleIpsum 1.1.2. I’m interested to hear what Apple’s response will be as they didn’t reply to my last email where I stated that I refuse to "incorporate additional features to enhance the user experience” as they had previous requested. For those who haven’t seen the earlier blog post, LittleIpsum had been previously rejected from the app store for “Not being useful enough.“ Its release date is scheduled for tomorrow - January 13th, 2010.

We have Symphonic variation from Joseph Holbrook Joseph Haydn called a theme in his Symphony 83 Three Blind Mice Havergal Brian, a British composer, based one of his orchestral work on this rhyme. Interestingly, many composers have named their compositions Three Blind Mice. The "farmer's wife" in the rhyme refers to the Queen. The three Anglican Bishops were noblemen Hugh Latimer, Nicolas Ridley, and Thomas Cranmer. The British Queen Mary I captured three Protestant Bishops, and before execution, blinded them in 1555. The most probable meaning of this verse goes back to the counter-reformation. She scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife. The original version was quite different from the later one: However, the first version of it appeared already in 1609.

They make a cash offer for $45,000, but their original proposal won’t provide the ROI you seek. You’ve flipped the house much sooner than expected, and an interested buyer comes along. Lucky you, the water damage wasn’t nearly as bad as it looked, costing only $700 to repair. You’re ready to get to work on renovations! The excited seller accepts your offer and moves out the next day. You offer $35,000 for the property as-is, anticipating $2,000-$3,000 in repair costs. Let’s keep the scenario going and say you connect with an incredibly motivated owner ready to make a deal. Think about it: Soliciting 5,000 leads may only result in closing one deal, which is why affordable bulk mailing services are vital in real estate investing. Of the 50 property callback leads, you may close a deal on 1-2% of them.You receive a total of 50 callbacks, and the real work begins.Out of 5,000 leads contacted, only 1% of property owners responded.A few bounce back, but the vast majority are delivered successfully. You send 5,00o postcards to absentee owners.You prepare 5k direct mailers for 5k leads for $2,000 (approximately $0.40 per postcard).We’re going to walk through a real-world example scenario that could happen to any professional investor in the real estate business: If you think that sounds like a lot of work for little payoff, you couldn’t be further from the truth, especially if you’re working with the right software. ![]() The response rate for direct mail is low, typically between 1-2%, so investors have to market to their prospects efficiently. Before making cash offers or closing deals, an investor could mail thousands of leads. ![]() Why is real estate direct mail so important?īuilding a successful real estate investment business requires constantly finding new leads and lots of them. Those who diligently send repeat mailers are more likely to get callbacks, book appointments, make offers, and close deals. The more advertising materials you produce, the more bulk mailing materials you have to send to leads, and the higher your chances of hearing back from a motivated seller. Likewise, you can identify and eliminate a poorly performing marketing campaign.Īs the experts know all too well: real estate investment is a numbers game, and it’s no different when it comes to sending postcards, yellow letters, or other printed mailers. Real-time business KPI trackers, like the one inside REsimpli’s CRM, allow you to see which campaigns are performing well and should be expanded to capture more members of your target audience. They analyze the number of callbacks received, appointments booked, call durations, offers made, and deals closed to determine if their direct mail marketing campaigns are working. Real estate investors use valuable data to identify which campaigns and mail pieces are the most successful. If you track performance, you can gauge whether a campaign is successful or not.Īfter launching a campaign, did you start receiving calls immediately, or did you hear crickets for weeks? Analyze campaign performance. After importing a list, REsimpli users can send bulk mail to hot leads, cold leads, and cash buyers instead of spending hours making phone calls.ĭirect mail is a measurable marketing channel like social media marketing, SEO, print advertising, or email.

Why is real estate direct mail so popular?Īdvertising professionals, business owners, and investors alike turn to direct mail for their marketing needs because: Have you ever received a promotional calendar from a new bank, grocer, or small business nearby? That’s all direct mail! You might use branded magnetic clips to display photos and artwork on your fridge. You’ve been greeted at the mailbox with a postcard from an auto dealership or a seasonal retail catalog. Think about it: you’ve received direct mail, haven’t you? “ Direct mail” is a marketing term that refers to exactly what it sounds like: marketing material sent to someone directly through the mail. So what can we do about it? How can investors ensure that their mailers are getting seen and not just thrown in the trash? Investors tend to earn a large portion of their profits via deals that result from direct mail campaigns, and excess junk mail can get in the way. Did you know that adults in the US receive 560 pieces of junk mail every year? It clogs up mailboxes, becomes litter, and often gets tossed directly into the trash. ![]() FRONT AND BACK PROTECTION - Light and durable case with secure magnetic latch keeps iPad Pro closed and safe from bumps, scratches and spills.Backlit laptop-like keys with 3 adjustable levels of brightness lets you achieve maximum productivity anywhere.

With both scenes ready for the analysis, I started by taking a close look at the post-processing.īefore diving into the details of each effect, it is worth to remember the order in which post-processing is performed in this game:Īs mentioned earlier, the first and most obvious difference between the games is the absence of the “gold filter”. ![]() Visuals much more efficiently than when I was editing RenderDoc captures This allowed me to prototype and tinker with the game’s Since the end product of such capture is C++ code, and therefore it is trivially editable. This works far better than using RenderDoc alone, I started my analysis by taking a C++ capture from both DXHR and DXHR Director’s Cut with During my research, I referenced this article heavily when looking through the captures.

It’s up to the reader to decide whether the changes are for better or worse, but we can objectively say that the game looks Looking at the comparison, it’s obvious that the gold filter is not the only change. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to capture identical screenshots from both games. Post-processing effects and shading have been altered, and much to everyone’s surprise, the gold filter was gone! With the release of the Director’s Cut, the game has received numerous changes to gameplay and visuals. Or just gamma correct the final image to “undo” the changes the best they can. Of course, mods were created to remove the effect, but I don’t know if they remove this post-processing effect So people who could not stand this filter were either forced to accept it or dropped the game. ![]() Sadly, this effect is not toggleable via options and can’t be easily disabled by modifying the configuration files, ![]() I said this visual feature is “controversial” because it divided people a lot – some loved it, others hated it.
