Test mailings

[Stephen Dominick]

Say your looking to a new market and want to do a test mailing (yellow letter or postcards)What would be a good sample number 200-500---50? Would you use click2mail or any other recommendations? Would you mail by hand with real stamps?  I have a marketing budget of about 1000 dollars to start. Not much I know but I'm starting slow and easy.  Not sure what answering apparatus I should put in place for possible responses.  Advice much appreciated. Thanks
