Manager 3. Sales Letters Direct advertising, in the form of letters to a selected group of readers, is an effective way to promote sales. Such sales letters should appeal to the potential customer. They should: ·        arouse the reader's attention ·        create desire to make use of your offer ·        convince him that these products or services are the best ones for him ·        activate him to place an order Almost any communication can be used as a sales letter. Announcements to customers and others or important changes can be used to make your company, your products or services better known to the public, and to attract buyers.

e.g. FARMERS FRUIT PRODUCTS Taunton, Somerset England November 2000 Dear Sir, In the field of fruit preserves, English jams marmalades have been regarded as the best for the century and a half. Their reputation is spread by everyone who tastes them: they are recommended by word of mouth to relatives, friends and many prospective customers. English fruit farmers supply FARMARES with the best quality produce from their orchards and gardens. Fresh citrus fruits are imported from Spain and Israel all year round. Please refer to the enclosed price-list, and let us know your requirements on the form attached. You may be able to profit from special terms on your initial order. Delivery can be made shortly after we receive your order. FARMERS look forward to hearing from you soon Yours

faithfully, FARMERS FRUIT PRODUCTS 4. Counter-Proposals, Concessions A buyer need not accept the prices and terms offered by the seller unconditionally. There will often be good reason to make a counter-proposal with the object of obtaining better prices or terms, or a shorter time of delivery. As a result of these negotiations, the supplier could make a concession, particularly for an introductory sale, or if the customer places a large order. e.g. Roberts Import Company Av. Rio de Janeiro Grupo 505 Rio de Janeiro Farmers fruit products Taunton, Somerset England 16 November, 1998 Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of 10th November, enclosing your price-list. The 2 lb tins of marmalade would not be suitable for our customers, but we should like to buy 15,000 1 lb jars. However,

there is one disadvantage when compared with local produce. Housewives here are used to a jar containing 500 grammes; the English pound is only 454 grammes. Therefore we would ask you to reduce the prices quoted for quality A2 by ten per cent. As far as the settlement is concerned, we would suggest paying half the amount against your invoice on receipt of the goods, and the second half within 30 days, deducting 2 per cent discount. The samples arrived yesterday, and we must admit that your marmalade is delicious. Would you kindly let us know as soon as possible if you can supply us on the terms mentioned. Yours faithfully, R. Wilson 5. Orders, Order Acknowledgements In comparison to the correspondence so far, placing an order is simple from the point of view of letter-writing.
