I don't typically leave negative reviews, but I believe it's important to share my experience. I was a Wise Pelican customer for approximately eight months. I started on one farming campaign and later switched to the Power Farm campaign on March 2, 2026, hoping for better results. Despite investing approximately $500 per month, I received only one lead from the Power Farm campaign. More importantly, I did not receive a single closed transaction from either campaign. I understand that direct mail is a long-term marketing strategy and that results can vary by market. However, after investing around $4,000 over eight months, I expected to see more engagement and a better return on my investment. The most disappointing part of my experience came when I decided to cancel because the campaign wasn't producing results for my business. I was charged a $1,000 cancellation fee, which added to my frustration. The platform itself is easy to use, and my review is based solely on my personal experience. If you're considering Wise Pelican, I encourage you to carefully review the contract—especially the cancellation terms—and weigh the overall investment before committing.

I was given one option for their Power Farm which was the minimum of 500 postcards per month ($500). I expected to receive a copy of the card but after two months in with not all 500 addresses being available, I had only received 3 QR code clicks. I had to purchase a postcard to send to myself only to learn that the QR code goes to their site, not mine where I had set up a CMA and an email campaign for the prospects. I've learned that there is no way to send the leads directly to my CMA so that the lead can be automatically started on a drip. Surely by 2026, ease of use is expected. Wise Pelican does not ask for a phone number and so I have to, manually, add the lead to my CRM which I'm not always in the position to do at the time it's emailed to me. Only 4 have clicked and provided their email address and they have just sent out the 5th mailing. Customer service has no suggestions for this problem except for "export the list". They're coming in one at a time. Wow! They don't even try. I am so afraid I will spend $6000.00 for the year with no ROI.

The last time I needed to change one thing, it took me 4 days to get an appointment! Ridiculous!!

Signed up for a year long compaign of postcards for a farm area. Did not receive a single lead or property owner response. Wise Pelican was helpful, but the results non-existent.

2 Responses from my mailers. I definitely wouldn't do this again as my ROI was about -$3700 on the year for real estate monthly mailers. I only received 2 scans from about 3000 mailings. And of course I was locked into a contract with them, so no quitting.

This year 2022, I have spent over $800 mailing close to 1,000 postcards ( football schedules and home valuations). To date, August, I have not received one comment or CMA request.
