Direct mail advice...help!

[Reggie Maggard]

Is a website a must for a direct mail campaign? What about a call answering service? If so, any recommendations on who to go with? Currently I'm thinking about $1000 to set up a website...$50/m to operate it. $50/m to setup a separate phone line and answering it when I get time. Thanks

As other have said, the website isn't something you should be worrying about right now.  Get some initial letters out using your phone number and an e-mail address.  You might want to set up a Google Voice number or something so you don't have to use your personal phone number.  See how that goes and adjust from there.  The important thing is to get your marketing started... don't worry about having everything perfect the first time.
