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
