Source Marketing Pieces or DIY?

[Joshua Martin]

Hey gang,

  I wanted to ask the people in the community what they thought about sourcing marketing to a site like yellow letters or open letter, or if people took the time to design the pieces themselves and maybe have them printed locally.

Just looking for tips and tricks as my partner and I are getting ready to start marketing Sep. 1st.

 And to be clear, we want to market probate which I'm putting together right now. I might have to source this locally, or see what one of these online vendors could do for me as soon as I have all of the letters written.

 And also, we want to work a larger list. Starting with about 1500 names. Probably not absentee, but we're undecided about the equity/geographic/demographic criteria as of yet. It is really this larger list I'm asking about, but help is appreciated with any of it.

 And are there other vendors for direct mail with pre-made pieces?

Thanks in advance,

JTM

Joshua Martin do a search locally for printers who also have mail house capabilities. The quantities you're mailing can be printed full color and addressed from your list in the same pass. Generally they charge you a per 1,000 price plus a flat set up charge for processing the mailing. Postage will be additional of course. I'm in the print/direct mail business (in addition to my REI business) so I know this stuff. PM me if you want more guidance. I'm happy to help.
