HOPPP APPROACH
 The headline of the letter needs to get the
reader’s attention. Its job is to make the reader
want to know more (and actually read the rest).
The secret? Make sure the headline makes a
specific promise that relates to your prospects’
needs or interests. If, for instance, you offer
domestic cleaning services, don’t use a headline
such as “Want Cleaning Services?” in your letter.
Instead use something such as, “Your Whole
House Sparkling Clean – We Do It for You so You
Don’t Have to!”
 As the headline is so important, brainstorm
several and pick the best. Place the headline
before the salutation in your letter.
 Now we’re into the body of the sales letter. You
need to tell your prospective customers what
you’re offering them first. The trick is that you
have to make them want your product or
service. So think like a prospective customer
or client when you’re writing this section of your
letter and answer the question “What’s in it for
me?” In other words, what are the benefits to the
customer of making this purchase?
 For instance, “For less than $150 you can have
your entire home clean and sparkling, without
enduring the nasty stink of chemical cleaners.”
 Another thing you need to do in the body of
the letter is assure your readers that they will
be satisfied with their purchase. Testimonials
(statements of satisfaction from past
customers) are an excellent way of doing this;
Or offer your reader a “feel-safe” such as a
money-back guarantee, or entice them with a
free trial offer.
 The most important thing that you need to do
in the body of your sales letter, of course, is
persuade the reader to act. First, be sure you
come right out and say what you want the
reader of your letter to do, whether it’s to call
you, or come into your store. Second, make it
easy for your customer to act. Set a deadline
for the expiration of your offer.
 You’ve asked your reader once. Hopefully
he’s thinking about it. Add a P.S. to your
letter ;such as reminding the customer that
quantities are limited, or that the price will
only be as stated in the offer for a certain
period of time (set a date).
