A testing technique, if the company is unsure about the move, is to not
ship the manuals initially but include a postcard that says send this
back if you want a free set of manuals, or something along those lines.
We got a return rate of about 13%. There was a similar result for
another company in my industry, except they got a return rate of 8%. The
powers-that-be at your company can make the decision from there. Of
course, you need to consider the possibility of increased cost per
manual for lower print runs.

Will.
