What
are the lengths of most museums’ direct mail appeal letters (if you do them)? We
are about to send out a special appeal, and there is some concern on the Ways
& Means committee that 2 pages (two sides of one sheet, actually) is too
long. I’m of the mind that we should take as much room as we need to explain why
we need the money. So I need some support for the idea that I’m not off my nut
and might know a thing or two about direct mail after working with it for 10
years… And of course, if I am wrong, then I’d like to know that too.

Thanks
