Sales Letter Writing | Sales Letter Example

Sales Letter Writing | Sales Letter Example
A sales letter is one of the most important instruments of sales promotion, despite unprecedented advancements in advertising through the print and electronic media. To be efficient it should catch the attention of the reader, excite his interest and curiosity and induce him to buy the goods or services offered. It should begin with an attention catching device and end with an inducement for action. The main body of the letter should provide convincing arguments and evidence to vouch for the quality of the product. There are various ways of catching the attention. Some of these are as follows:

(i) Making a startling statement
(ii) Special appeals or offers
(iii)Relating an anecdote or a story
(iv) Providing evidence
(v) Asking rhetorical questions

The main body of a sales letter should draw attention to central features and facilities offered such as trial offers, guarantees, free samples, etc. The last part of the letter should clinch the issue by prompting action with inducements such as limited time/quantity offer, special bargain offer, convenience in ordering, prizes and extra offer, etc. Here are some sales letter examples so that you can write them efficiently. Please look at the following sales sample letter to get an idea about it.
