Overview
Introduction
Persuasive messages are appropriately written in indirect order.
Plan the persuasion that overcome the readers objections.
“ Put yourself in your reader’s shoes.”
Persuasive Requests
A general sale plan should keep these features in it to pursue somebody.
A : AttentionI : InterestD : Desire A : Action
Persuasive Requests
Attention is needed to get the reader in a mood to receive the persuasion.What you write to gain attention is limited only by your imagination.Example:
From a message requesting contributions for orphaned children.“ While you and I denied heartily last night ,31 orphans at saw Pablo mission had only dried beans to eat.”
Persuasive Requests
“ You view point”
Follow the persuasion with the request. Do not use a negative tone. Be positive. Ending with a reminder of the appeal is
also good.
Persuasive Requests
“Do not be negative”
I am aware that business people in your position have little free time to give, but will u please consider accepting an assignment to the board of director of the children fund?
Persuasive Requests
“Be positive”
Because your organization skills are so desperately headed , will you please serve on the board of director of children’s fund?
Persuasive Requests
Obvious failure in directness:The bad message has no persuasive
strategy.
Skillful persuasion in an indirect order:The better message has good persuasion strategy.
Sales Messages
Usually , brochures , leaflets (a letter) , and such combines to form a sales mailing.
Like persuasive requests we have to use a strategy for sales messages.

Sales Messages
Determining the appeal :
Decide what appeals and strategies to use
Appeal may be emotional (to the feelings) or rational(to the reason).
Select the appeal that fits the product and prospect.
Sales Messages
By appeals we mean the strategies you use to present a product or service to the reader.
Example:You present a beauty product or its
qualities. You could stress that a product will provide hours of fun or that it will make one more attractive to the opposite sex.Or you could present a product through an appeal to profit , savings and durability.
Sales Messages
Mechanics:Before beginning to write , you determine
the mechanics of mailing the sales letter report. Selling letter may use in perusal salutations' like: “Dear student” , “Dear ma’am or sir” etc
Again in sales “you view point” is important.
