Dear Sirs

We recently attended the Software Trade Exhibition in Bath, and were impressed by the range of software available through your company.

We are a large chain of business software retailers and are looking for a software house which could supply us with a range of business applications programs.

As we usually place large orders, we would expect a quantity discount. Our terms of payment are normally 30 days after receipt of invoice.

If these conditions are of interest to you, we would be much obliged if you could send us your current catalogue and price list.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully

P. Blake

Purchasing Manager

SUBJECTSpring collections

 

This is an update on our plans for the Spring collections. Our marketing mix will depend heavily on in-store promotions backed up by aggressive TV advertising.

 

Women’s leatherwear and accessories promotion

We have to finally decide what the theme will be for this promotion. Suggestions from your end would be welcomed!

 

However, we have agreed on these elements of the promotion:

· Window displays in a major London store

· Full-colour flyer to be sent to all our distributors

· Regional fashion shows in selected cities

· Full page advertisement in quality magazines.

With each purchase of a leather jacket, a free gift off a leather purse, wallet or key ring will be offered.

 

The approximate value of these gifts is £25.

P.K.
