Sales letters
Permalink Closed


Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of sending out a sales letter to new businesses in my area so would be interested to hear how others have gone about this.

In particular, who did you address the letter to if you don't know their name (eg Dear Sir, Dear Sir or Madam etc)?

Also, what do you write in the letter?!

Any help is much apreciated!

If you can, I think it's more professional to obtain the name of the person responsible for dealing with the bookkeeping to address the letter to. IMO it makes your letter more personal.

Dear Amy

When I do sales letters I always decide on what area be it grographical or business type and then phone them to obtain the name of the person responsible for the accounts/bookkeeping (usually owner/manager), and then address the letter to this person and by doing this it makes it more personal. I then handwrite the envelope as this will help ensure that it is opened because people are always more likely to open a handwritten envelope, what they do afterwards depends on the strength of your letter and their need for a bookkeeper.

Good luck and I hope that you get some positive responses.

Regards

Mark
