I am new to the marketing department and have to write sales letters - any hints and tips would be appreciated.

First of all be clear about:
- Why you are writing?
- What you expect customers to do when they receive the letter?
- What objectives are for the campaign?

A simple sales inexpensive sales letter can work wonders and can work for every type of organisation.

Make sure that your letter looks and sounds like a letter. A good idea is to read your draft out aloud and see if it sounds natural. Have a picture of your typical customer in mind and use words and phrases they will understand. Grab the reader’s attention from the start and make your offer clear and easy for them to buy. A P.S. is a good idea people read them first! When writing your letter try to use you twice as often as I and we.

When you have written your draft ask yourself “ so what” show it to your colleagues and ask for feedback.

Decide how you will monitor and measure results and overtime establish a standard response level for your letters based on your experience.
It’s a good idea to keep a snatch file of letters you have received both good and bad to give you ideas and as a basis for yours. Don’t copy them adopt, adapt and modify them to suit your particular need.
