[4] Enquiry from an import agent in India to a British export manufacturer

DYMONT & CO

General Import Merchants

Calcutta

Weatherproof Ltd. Newtown Liverpool L30 7KE

We have now been importing your "Litewate" raincoats for a number of years,

and our trade connections throughout India have bean more than satisfied

with the garments.

However, two от three Indian manufacturers have recently launched ultra-

lightweight models, and these are catching en' very fast. In view of the

increased competition this involves, we wander whether you have considered

marketing a coat of rather lighter material than the "Literate", but

equally waterproof. A garment of this type would have a large sale in

this country if you could offer it at a competitive price, that. is to say

not more than Ј3.50 for a man's model, and slightly less for a woman's. You

will be interested to learn that raincoats being produced here suffer from

one major drawback, namely excessive condensation on the inside surface.

We would be grateful for your preliminary comnents as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully

We are very glad to have your letter of 1 December and to hear that you

excessive condensation on the inside surface, and so would be suitable for

your climate. We can quote you the following prices: f p

Dear Sirs

We are very pleased to have your enquiry, and are enclosing the price-list

you requested, together with our terms of sale.

As you have evidently realized, plastic kitchenware Is here to stay -it has

already ousted heavy and expendable metal, glass and china from the modern

kitchen. Dealere who have displayed our brightly coloured range have

reported good sales even in the present season, when hardware sales are

usually at their lowest.

After studying our prices and our liberal teme to the trade, you will

understand why we are working to capacity to meet the demand. We would

advise you, therefore, to let us have your order by the end of the month,

as this will enable you to have stocks of our attractive lines by Easter.

We look forward to the opportunity of being of service to you.

A request for a special discount may call for some thought, and a counter-

proposal may be made in reply, as in letter no. 7.

discount of 24% over and above the usual trade discounts in connection with

your order for 30,000 envelopes no. 2M.

While we appreciate your order, we feel we must point out that our prices

have already been cut to.the minimum possible, and that envelopes are

unobtainable elsewhere at these rates.

[12] Circular from a large store informing customers of sale of stocks

at reduced prices Dear Sir or Madam

On 1 June this year we are moving to larger and more modem premises at nos.

50-55 Oxford Street. Our business has grown so considerably in recent years

that we can no longer provide our customers with the service we are used to

giving them in our present building.

In view of this move we are selling off our entire stock at greatly reduced

prices to save us the trouble and expense of packing and removal.

Come and visit us any day next week. The sale will last for 7 days

only—less it stocks are cleared sooner. This is an exceptional opportunity

for you to obtain real bargains: reductions range from 15% to 30%, while

certain surplus lines will be going at up to 50% off list prices.

Don't miss this chance! Our doors open at 9 a.m. on Monday 20 May.

[13] Offer of special trade discount Dear Sirs

In last summer's exceptionally fine weather we were so overloaded with late

orders from most of our regular customers that we were unable to keep pace

with the demand.

While we understand our customers' tear of overstocking, we are sure they

will appreciate our position when we are suddenly flooded with urgent last-

minute orders.

To encourage all customers to lay in a good opening stock this year, we are

prepared to offer a special trade discount of 4% on all orders over Ј500

net value received before the end of the month.

Help us by helping yourselves!

Yours faithfully

[14] Wholesaler's special offer of woollen blankets Dear Sirs

A few weeks ago we were fortunate enough to have the offer of the entire

stock of the Hartley Blanket Company, which has now ceased to manufacture

woollen products. We took advantage of this exceptional opportunity, and

are now in a position to offer these famous all-wool blankets well below

the market price.

This is a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity, and we expect to dear our stock

in a few days.

We must ask you, therefore, to give the enclosed special price list your

immediate attention and to let us have your order at once.

Orders will be executed in strict rotation and can only be accepted as long

as stocks last. Yours faithfully

[15] Specimen of a follow-up letter to a distributor to whom a catalogue

was sent in response to his enquiry.

Dear Mr Morton

You wish to modernise your store-rooms with the most up-to-date shelving

system yet devised: that is clear because you asked for our catalogue,

which was sent to you earlier this month.

The next step lies, of course, with you. You could have a demonstration of

the fitting of the lockshelf system in your own store-room, or see the

combined units here in our showrooms.

You could test for yourself the wonderful adaptability of our system to all

storage problems, by sending us a trial order for one 5 metre section,

which comprises three units. Or if you have any special problems, you are

welcome to our advice without any obligation.

You may be sure that whichever of our services you decide to use, you will

receive our immediate attention. Yours sincerely
