Sales, Marketing, and Public Relations Letter Writing

The object of a sales, marketing, or public relations letter is to elicit a
positive response from your reader toward the product or service you are
trying to market. Successful sales, marketing, and public relations letters
must therefore grab readers’ attention and convince them that your product
or service will satisfy their needs or desires.

Use a friendly, personal tone. Customers, whether they are consumers
or business users, crave personal attention, and a very formal letter suggests
just the opposite.

While all the letters in Part II could be considered sales and marketing
letters in the broad sense that they are trying to convince a reader to take
some sort of action, the letters in this chapter are sales and marketing
letters in a more literal sense. They were written specifically to market a
product or service to the reader.

Successful professionals know the importance of effective letter writing. You can’t have a good business relationship with customers if they don’t know what you’re trying to tell them in a letter. The services or products of a company cannot be marketed if a prospective customer is baffled by the service or product described. How can a salesperson expect to make a sale when, because of a muddled letter, the prospect can’t even understand what it is that’s being sold? Letter writing is crucial to the success of every professional. Without letter-writing skills, the professional’s effectiveness is stymied.
