Promoter bashing experiment

Suppose you did a promoter bashing experiment and identified a novel promoter element in your gene at approximately -100bp. Although the element was close to the transcription start site, it is possible that it has the characteristics of an enhancer. Design an experiment to test whether the element has enhancer-like characteristics. What results would suggest it had enhancer qualities; what results would show it didn’t have enhancer qualities?
