Maybe I should create a separate mailing list or forum just for this
subject, so those of us that are interested in doing this can all
subscribe to the same place and we can have all of our conversations
available to look at easily.
As for a survey, I have call center resources that we could use to
conduct a phone survey, or we could go the route of a mailer with the
promise of winning free stuff(random drawing for completed forms
online) which would probably be a cheaper solution.
Does anyone else here on the list have any experience with SMB marketing?
