Option 1:

Identify a new product or service your team’s business would like to promote. Draft a form letter that would be sent to a typical customer that entreats him/her to try the product. Your letter should be reader-centered, employing the AIDA methods. It should also be visually appealing so that the information is easy to read. In fact, it would be great to use visual aids like graphics, images, etc.

Option 2:

Your team;s business is hosting a promotional event (e.g. a new business location, a special sale, etc.) draft a form letter that would be sent to a typical customer that entreats him/her to attend your event. Your letter should be reader-centered, employing the AIDA methods noted. It should also be visually appealing so that the information is easy to read. In fact, it would be great to use visual aids like graphics, images, a map to your eent, etc

Option 3:

Your business is hosting a promotional event (e.g. a grand opening of a new business location, a special sale, the launch of a new product or service, etc.) and you are hoping to invite an appropriate celebrity to draw a crowd. Write a persuasive request letter to this celebrity, employing the AIDA methods. Even though this is not typical sales pitch to allow you practice with using testimonials, subverting prices, etc., devise some similar strategies to make your request to the celebrity as persuasive as possible. For example, what makes a guest appearance for your business more appealing than a guest appearance to another business? How might the celebrity benefit from participating in this promotional event for your particular company? Think creatively! Your letter should be visually appealing so that it is easy to read. If any visual aids are appropriate, you can use them as well…
