Free Sample Sales Letter: Example of How to Write a Persuasive Business Marketing Letter
Here is an example of a business-to-business sales letter mailed to auto dealers by a firm that markets gift cards that replace paper gift certificates. Anything in brackets [like this] did not appear in the letter but simply appears to describe the mechanics of the letter
Author: Alan Sharpe
Target audience: General managers of auto dealerships
Mailer: Sharpe AutoCards [a fictional company for the purposes of this sample letter]
Purpose: Generate appointments for salespeople
[MAILING ENVELOPE]
[Is 5 x 9 inches in dimension and has a window, through which appears a portion of a gift card, personalized with the prospect's name. The envelope has a teaser headline: Inside: A win-win-lose proposition for your auto dealership.]
[LETTER]
[Is 8 1/2 x 11 inches, copy on both sides]
December 27, 2007
Brad Carling, General Manager
Tri-City Chev-Olds
123 Any Street
Anytown OH 12345-9163
[Right here, beneath the prospect's name, is affixed to the letter a sample auto gift card, personalized with the prospect's name, and this headline: As you can see, this card has success written all over it.]
Dear Mr. Carling:
Go ahead, pull this amazing little card off the paper.
It’s made of plastic. It costs you $2 to buy. But it’s worth the price of a new car, sold off your lot. This card is worth the lifetime value of a loyal customer. In sales, service, parts, accessories and referrals. And goodwill. And free word-of-mouth advertising.
Hold it in you hand for a minute, and think of your competition. Consider your revenue goals for the next quarter. Do you need to increase your new and used vehicle sales? Boost your parts & service department revenue? Multiply your accessories department revenue? Retain customers after their warranty runs out?
