It all depends on the type of people you are marketing to and testing.

It's better to get a more specific list with people that are actually motivated to sell than to throw a bunch of money away on unmotivated leads.

I got a deal mailing to 50 people.

@Danny Leyva Who would you send a deal to? Someone who sent you a few bland letters, or someone who tries to get to know you and connects you with other resources? Deals come from specific networking, being a friendly and inviting person, and sending deals to other people. You can also sign up to a network in your area by going to investor meetups, or create it if it doesn't exist.

thanks for your response! what company do you use for your mailings?

So many variables effect this. How saturated your market it, what your mailing piece says, and where you're getting your list from to name a few. As a very general rule, you're better off mailing to 1,000 people 5 times than mailing 5,000 at once.
