The Importance of a Sales Letter Writing

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Admin

In today’s world, where email has outpaced every other modes of communication, many people might wonder the need for letter writing. Emails, more precisely automated emails, can be sent at a fraction of time, when employing the resources required for developing a sales letter are compared. The truth, however, is quite contrary. An email can never achieve the impact that a well-written letter can generate. Be it sales, cover, or a presentation, in fact you cannot afford to ignore a sales letter.

What is a sales letter?

A sales letter is form of direct mail, may be an email, or printed mail, in which an advertiser sends a letter to a potential customer. How does a sales letter writing differ from writing an email? The difference between an ordinary email and a sales letter is that a sales letter is much more elaborate and eye catching, and if properly laid out, can be more enticing. This calls for the effectiveness of a sales letter when compared to emails.

What constitutes a winning sales letter?

The content of a letter should be planned well. This will help in a systematic and useful communication. A very effective way of writing a sales letter is by first jotting down the points and then elaborating each one. This is a fail-safe method and ensures omission of important highlights.

Language goes a long way in determining the success of a sales letter. The web has lot of examples of well-designed and planned sales letter those have failed to create the desired effect due to language constraints.

Remember, language is all about communicating to your visitors. It doesn’t pay to brandish your command over language if the message is not clear and well understood by your targets.

Important language selection tips:

Always use formal language for business letters, cover letters. Personal letters can have a more flexible language. However, you should be judicious in selecting the tone for your letter lest it create an adverse effect.

Use a catchy headline. Remember, a headline is the first step to your success. A visitor will certainly not take the initiative to go through the rest of your sales letter if he doesn’t find the headline attractive enough. You are at liberty to use an informal language here.

Try to make your points in least number of words. Remember that people do not have time to read long letters and will simply totally ignore the letter if it does not appeal to them in the first glance.

Writing sales letter should be done as if addressed to an individual. This will make the reader feel more comfortable, and make him feel as if his individual needs are being catered.

Be acquainted with all the latest writing techniques, which, are continuously evolving. Headlines, bullets, simple language etc, all go a long way in defining the effectiveness.

Different people need a different type of approach to be convinced. You cannot make your sales letter to suit each and everyone directly. However, sticking to the basics ensures that a judicious approach is maintained, that will help you address your target in a broader scale.

How Are Sewn-on Greek Letters Made?

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Admin

Every major university is overflowing with custom Greek apparel – from Greek letter shirts and sweatshirts to Greek bags, there is no shortage of sorority letters and fraternity letters. Sewn-on Greek letters (aka appliqué or tackle-twill) are by far the most popular form of lettered apparel. With so many options for fraternity apparel and sorority apparel, it is helpful to know how the product is made and what to look for when purchasing your own set of sewn-on letters.

Sewn-on greek letters come in various sizes, with the most popular being 2″, 3″, and 4″. Often times the type of greek gear selected will determine the size of letters used. A tighter fitting sorority t-shirt will not have the horizontal space that a unisex t-shirt has, so in turn smaller letters will be used. Or for example, a tote bag that is less than 18″ wide will need smaller letters such as 2″ or 3″. In addition to the gear type, the placement of the Greek letters on the clothing will also influence the size. A location like left chest will need much smaller lettering than a center chest design.

Sewn-on letters come in one and two layer designs. One layer lacks the dimension a two-layer design has, but does keep the Greek apparel looking simple, which appeals to some. Most often the design is done with two layers of fabric. The background layer (back color) is usually a solid color or metallic, but a pattern can be used. The foreground layer (front color) is mostly seen and is available in all sorts of colors and patterns. Most popular these days are animal prints, stripes, plaids, florals, dots, and designer prints like Vera Bradley or Coach.

]]>

The sewn-on Greek letters are cut from a multiple of fabrics including poly pro twill, metallic, cotton, and cotton/polyester. The letters are cut using either a laser, blade, or water. Laser cutting is superior, as it reduces fraying, and creates a very clean cut.

Greek letters can be sewn down using a zig-zag stitch or satin stitch (double satin). Zig-zag stitching looks just as it sounds and leaves some of the fabric edge exposed. Satin stitching, on the other hand, creates a thick border of thread around the letter. For this reason, satin stitching is more expensive as the time and stitch count increases. Thread colors are typically selected to match the letter color being sewn down, but contrasting colors can be used, especially with satin stitching. These additional colors create dimension and detail on the greek sweatshirt or greek t-shirt.

The whole Greek apparel production process goes as follows:
1) the sewn-on Greek letters are cut from the fabric of your choice
2) the Greek sweatshirt, t-shirt, jacket, or bag is hooped with backing and put on the embroidery machine
3) the machine sews an outline stitch so that the background letter can be placed down
4) the letter is precisely placed and then sewn down with the stitch type selected – zig-zag or satin
5) the foreground outline stitch is then sewed down for placement on top of the background letter
6) the foreground letter is precisely placed and then sewn down with the stitch type selected – zig-zag or satin
7) the gear is removed from the machine, unhooped, and trimmed
8) the sewn-on Greek letters are heat pressed to the gear and packaged
9) the final product is delivered to the customer!

Sorority letters and fraternity letters will always be a staple in the Greek community. To find high quality custom Greek apparel, it is beneficial to know how it’s made. There are many steps and details that go into creating sewn-on Greek letters – educate yourself and shop wisely!

Dear Friend,

Most job seekers don’t have a clue about getting their “foot in the door” for a job opening… not a clue.

Forget about job offers… many people see months fly by without landing ONE decent job INTERVIEW.

It’s no secret we’re living in some of the most stressful and difficult times in years — and today’s job market is a killer.

But if you’ll keep an open mind and give me a few minutes of your time right now…

… I’ll show you how to flood your calendar with more hot job interview requests and top job offers this month than most of your competition will land all year.

It’s so easy when you discover the KEY secrets 99.9% of job-seekers will never know…

3 Little-Known Job Search Secrets
That Will Continue To Keep Your
Competition “Stuck In The Mud”
For Years To Come…

1. Nothing happens — and I mean NOTHING HAPPENS! — until your phone rings for the job interview. Landing that first job interview… getting your “foot in the door” is ALL that matters! This is where ALL of your focus needs to be. (Read that again).

]]>

2. A “perfect” resume is highly overrated. Yes, you read that correctly. Don’t get me wrong, you need a resume; but don’t worry yourself sick if yours isn’t “perfect.” Resumes are not nearly as important as you might think they are. (Oh boy, I can hear the career-industry “experts” screaming already).

3. Cover Letter Magic: A simple, carefully written cover letter sprinkled with a few proven, magical marketing ingredients can fill your calendar with quality job interviews, faster and easier than you’d ever imagine.

Why? Because A Truly Amazing
Cover Letter Is Not A Cover Letter
At All… It’s A SALES Letter!

Your cover letter is the ONLY chance you have to “sell” yourself for the opportunity to be interviewed for the job.

Resumes DO NOT sell. They’re not built to sell. And most of the time, unless your resume is outstanding, it can actually end up hurting your job search! (I’ll bet you never heard that before.)

A brilliantly worded cover letter is the ULTIMATE sales letter and practically no one understands this fact. Most cover letters do nothing to land the job interview.

The vast majority of your competition simply “throws” together any old cover letter, just so they have something to attach to their average resume.

Imagine this for a moment…

You are knee deep in your job search. You’re stressed out and money is tight…

You wanted some help finding a new job, so you decided to invest in a professionally written resume. You called the big Resume Writing Service you read about and plunked down a significant sum of cash to have a professional write your resume.

Suddenly you’re excited! You think to yourself, “This ought to do the trick!”

You get everything back from the writing service and boy, does it look impressive! You can hardly believe it’s YOU they’ve written about! 

They’ve even included a “free” cover letter with your expensive resume order.

You eagerly send off your cover letter and resume to several contacts and sources.

You daydream about your phone ringing off the hook with interview requests, discussing multiple job offers, negotiating salaries…

You wait for a response… and wait… and wait some more.

Your daydream turns into a nightmare as you slowly start to realize…

…NOTHING is happening… NOTHING!

How maddening! The resume writer guaranteed you’d land job interviews because her company is the biggest and best around. They’ve been in business for years. They also charge the most. (Over 0… ouch!)

Here’s what REALLY happened…

With 267 applicants all applying for the same job as you, the stack of cover letters and resumes to sort through was enormous, and your application, like almost everyone else’s, was passed over like yesterday’s newspaper and tossed right in the trash can.

Why? Because your cover letter and resume did nothing to stand out from the crowd and attract the attention of the Hiring Manager!

As usual, 95% of the cover letters didn’t even get a second glance and their respective resumes were ignored altogether.

Your competition, just like a gang of bloodhounds, are chasing the same job as you are. Every one of them used the same writing services and cover letter books. They’ve flooded the desk of the same employer you’ve been trying to reach. The ONLY real difference in this big stack of applications are the applicants’ names!

Not one cover letter had a PERSONAL, ATTENTION-GRABBING element that stimulated the employer enough to give you the “foot in the door” you need to land the job interview.

You might as well be playing the lottery!

Sad and typical… but it doesn’t have to be this way for you.

# # # #

I’m about to show you how to land more job interviews than you’ll know what to do with. It’s so incredibly easy to stand out from the crowd when 99% of ALL job-seekers keep doing the same thing everyone else does!

If a resume and cover letter is requested, without any understanding of the named individual, you ought to tackle the letter to “human resources” or even the “hiring manager”.

]]>

Allow it to be an simple study – Concentrate about the job at hand, create your cover letters as basic and forthright as you possibly can. Unneeded words are just that, unneeded, you don’t require them.

Consist of Work Needs – It’s essential to touch about the work needs positioned in any ad or work descriptions. For that most component, businesses have a number of positions. As a result, you should determine which placement you’re looking for.

Amazing Cover Letter Creator or use the Internet? Review of the benefits and disadvantages

Posted on September 11, 2011 by Admin

There’s no question about it. Now that there is such great competition for jobs, everyone is using the same techniques to make sure that their resume is the one that the recruiters notice. We have all got access to the internet and everyone can read up on the current ‘best practices’ for preparing your resume – so how can YOU make a difference?

How can you make sure that your resume is the one that makes its was to the top of the pile? More and more, it’s not the resume that make the impact, but the cover letter that you send with it. It’s a fact that the majority of the people you’ll be in competition with for your next job will not present their resume with a great covering letter even though in more and more cases, it’s these cover letters that make all the difference.

Most of us, however, don’t know how to write a strong cover letter. We don’t know what the recruiters are looking for, we don’t know the triggers that make them take another look at our resume. If you want to start to take control of your career and be able to choose which of the opportunities that will come your way, then read on.

This solution is not for everyone, but if you have a number of positions you want to apply for and have not got all day to spend creating a specific, results-focused letter for each of them, or are prepared to risk missing out on the secret trigger that make recruiters pick up your resume, then read on.

I’d suggest you try out a product called the Amazing Cover Letter Creator. Crummy name, but actually not such a crummy product. It’s created by Jimmy Sweeney who is a professional copywriter and the President and CEO of a California based marketing company. He has used his experiences of reading numerous application letter that were sent to him and years of experience since developing this product to offer a new solution to the job seeker market by writing cover letters for prospective employees.

As Jimmy’s testimonials confirm, using this system resulted in many many more calls coming the way of people using the Amazing Cover Letter Creator than they had before using the creator. They found that the ingredients that were put into the letter pre sold their resume so the recruiters actually spent the time to look at their details, rather than passing on to the next candidate.

]]>

OK, so far so good. What’s in the package? Is this just another snakeoil offer that sells you something that you can get free on the internet with just a few well placed searches?

I think it’s true today to say that just about anything that you want can be found on the internet today. And if you search long and hard enough, you will probably find what you are looking for free. But as they say in the classics, ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ and with this in mind, I wanted to look at what the Amazing Cover Letter Creator offered against what I could find on the internet so see if it really is worth the hypoerbole.

The Creator is a download program you get once you make the decision to purchase. As with many information based products on the internet, expect a lot of free bonuses up-sell, cross-sell and re-sell until you can complete the purchase and get to the download.

Personally, I find these tactics a little aggravating, because I do not like to be told that the product that I just purchased is not the total package and there is an upgrade, or another addition that can make my life easier. This, however is very much the way of the internet these days and it more or less is an expected part of the purchase process.

Once you are logged in, the creator offers some introductory information and an explanation of how the Amazing Cover Letter Creator works.

It’s all about inserting attention getting information into your cover letters. To be successful in this market, you have to have a letter that explains how your career brand offers a better solution to that of anyone else who might be applying for the same position.

The program will take you through the letter generating process which offer a range of letter types depending on your situation e.g. open and specific positions or prospective offers. There are a number of additional fields through which the creator makes choices around which of the letter templates is most appropraite for your needs. When all of this is done a cover letter is automatically created for you which you can simply copy and paste to complete the letter. Obviously, you will still need to format the final document.

The letters that come from the system are well crafted and include a format that is attractive to the recruiters to whom your letter will be sent. As I said before, when you have seen 100 resumes a day, and you are giving each one a cursory galnce of probably no more than a few seconds, if a cover letter is well crafted and attention grabbing, you are going to keep that resume at the top of the pile.

You will need to make some changes to the letter before it is ready to send, but esentially, the program says what it does and creates cover letters for you.

Now let’s look at the alternative of searching through the internet for the answers. Firstly you will have to be quite careful in drilling down your searches to find the sort of letters that recruiters want to see. The problem is that there is so much content on the internet, it is hard to identify what has value. In my searches, I found loads of letter formats for cover letters. My problem was that I did not know for sure that the format that was in front of me was the sort of format that recruiters want to see. I also got a lot of advice about what was the best approach to take – the only problem was that quite a lot of it was contradictory and confusing.

I am prepared to recommend this program. It is not for everone, but the the price is a fraction of what you would pay a professional cover letter writer and the quality of letter that the software generates is on par with what a professional would write for you. Where it really makes a difference is in the time it saves you in your job search. You are already spending a lot of time researching the opportunities on the internet, making calls, networing and looking at your social networks. If you then have time to craft an excellent cover letter for each job you apply for, this might not be for you. If, on the other hand, you are like me and time is at a premium, try the Amazing Cover Letter Creator

Letter From Santa – From Santa Letter

The winter time holidays are a special occasion for just about everyone; and this could not be truer for children! Kids all over the country wait impatiently every year for the winter holiday’s to come up, and anyone can guess which one that takes precedence in their minds: Christmas. Christmas is one of the most expensive and intensely celebrated holidays in North America. With the thoughts of family visits, and toys that they’ve been wanting all year finally coming their way, it’s no wonder that most children just about run to greet Santa at the mall. Although Santa Claus might not be as big of an influence as he was in the past, he’s still the poster child for Christmas for younger children. What better way to make their holiday even more special than with a letter from Santa?

Remember writing Santa letters back in the day, and hoping that past deeds wouldn’t keep that brand new bike out of reach for another year? Well that tradition is still going strong to this day, and whether it’s at a commercial shopping center, or right from a bed or living room, the young ones just can’t get enough of their jolly old man; which is why they would be absolutely ecstatic if he were to actually write back to them. This is where Santa Claus greeting cards come into play.

There are numerous places that parents can go and have their child’s very own, personalized Santa greeting card made and delivered just for them. Imagine the look on their face when they receive a letter in the mail, decorated North Pole style, and their name on it. They might not even go open the presents right away! While having these letters delivered to one’s child is a very thoughtful and kind thing to do, there are a lot of problems and pitfalls that will need to be avoided.

Now because this time of the year is very special for many people, it’s vital that any and all orders be submitted as early as possible. Companies that specialize in Santa letters are known to run out of supplies, and most of them will have a deadline for when they’ll stop accepting orders. Trying to get them at the last minute might mean not getting all of the cards on the desired date. This is an especially big concern for those with a lot of kids to plan for. It would be absolutely heart breaking for a child to be left out, so order early on, and do one big batch to avoid that problem arising. Last but not least, always stick with a credible company! While some companies are better than others, some should just be avoided altogether. Cards can be purchased online or in stores, just know what ratings they’ve had before choosing them to deliver anything to a child!

Eventually most will stop believing in the Jolly old man and his wonderful reindeer, but while the magic is still there, one can make this and many more Christmases to come special with a personalized letter from Santa Claus. Sure the kid’s will eventually grow out of writing to Saint Nick, but will one day pick up on the tradition for their younger family members to enjoy. A good memory is a gift that’ll never stop giving.
