Dear [Recipients Name],

Do you lead an extremely hectic life? Is doing the laundry and ironing adding too much to your busy schedule? If you'd rather spend the time you normally do folding and pressing clothes with your partner or children, then Quick Cleaners is certainly the team to help you.

Quick Cleaners allows you to have more time for yourself and your family by removing the burden of doing the laundry, pressing, and folding from your shoulders. In fact, we allow you to save even more time by picking up your laundry and delivering to your doorstep -- for free!

If, after we have picked up your laundry and find that some articles of clothing require dry cleaning or special care, we will contact you immediately to inform you, as well as to determine whether you want the articles above cleaned, or if we should return them to you untouched. We do not wash your laundry with the load of other clients, which significantly reduces the risk of any loss. For such concerns, you can easily contact us and be assured that we will act as quickly as possible to address the issue.

We offer the best rates in town and never scrimp on discounts and promotions for our loyal customers. Why not try us out by calling 434-3434? We will immediately send one of our personnel to pick up your laundry. Stop dealing with dirty laundry today and let us do all the work for you!

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]

Further things to consider when writing direct marketing letters to consumers

Further things to consider when writing direct marketing letters to consumers

Direct Marketing Letters

Direct marketing letters are letters written to persuade the recipients to purchase products or services in the absence of salespersons. If drafted correctly, direct marketing letters can be one of the most effective marketing tools for your business. They have been used by businesses to cut the cost of advertising and to inform their loyal customers about discounts and special offers. In most cases, they usually advertise single service or product line, especially one that is considered to generate great profit to the business. Direct marketing letters allow you to reach prospective customers and generate business.

Direct marketing letters should be sweet and to the point. Begin the letter with a provocative idea that captures the recipient's attention and makes him/her want to keep reading. Clearly state the top benefits of the product or service you are selling, giving practical and real life examples. If necessary, include testimonials from customers who have used the product or service. Write in a conversational style and use short paragraphs. Use an active voice too and interesting phrases that encourage the recipient to continue reading. Conclude the letter with a strong statement or argument that compels the recipient to respond or take the necessary action.

Letters to Consumers

Letters to consumers are letters sent to people who purchase goods and services in retail for their own use. These could be response letters from companies to respond to claims, requests, or queries from consumers. They could also be inform letters to notify consumers of the best products on the market or about the termination of a previously offered service. Letters to consumers are formal and are usually printed on the company letterhead. Depending on the issue and the nature of the content, the letters can be addressed to specific people or generalized for all consumers.

Letters to consumers usually follow all the rules of formal letters. First, the senders' and the recipients' addresses must be well stated and placed properly in the letter. Then, the subject of the letter must be clearly stated so that the recipient can quickly know what the letter is about even before he/she reads it. When it comes to the content, be concise but thoroughly discuss the subject. Mention any action the recipient is supposed to take and why this is important. If there are any enclosures, explain them briefly in the letter. Close the letter with your name, signature, and job title.
