Small Business Tip Of The Week

Some people think writing a sales letter should be quick and simple, so they get frustrated after a short time and either give up or settle for a letter that’s simply mediocre. In reality, even the best professional writers expect to spend considerable time crafting an effective letter. But that doesn’t mean every time you send out a letter you should spend hours creating it. Instead, it’s important to have a group of polished sales letters on hand that can be easily modified to fit specific situations.

You'll find 6 tips for creating a great sales letter in Chapter 6, "Save While Going Postal," from Maximum Marketing, Minimum Dollars.
