Write A Sales Message For The Memory Preservation Studio

Write a Sales Message for the Memory Preservation Studio

As a freelance copywriter, you are tasked with creating a compelling sales message for the Memory Preservation Studio, which specializes in children’s photographs. The studio owner, Jan Chambers, wants to offer new parents a package that involves taking 8-by-10-inch color photographs of their babies at various ages—specifically at one month, six months, one year, two years, and three years—for a total price of $120. During each session, parents will receive four proofs to choose from. The studio will maintain a file and notify parents of upcoming dates for each photo session. The contract requires an initial payment of $60 and subsequent payments of $15 at each of the four sessions.

Parents can choose to sign a contract and pay during the first session or complete and return the form along with payment after receiving the brochure— which will feature miniature sequences of example photographs. The mailing list will primarily consist of referrals and birth announcements published in the local newspaper.

In your sales message, focus on the appeal(s) that will motivate new parents to preserve treasured memories of their babies. Your message should be formatted as a block letter, including the sender’s and recipient’s addresses, and be approximately 1000 words. Incorporate persuasive language and strategic appeals (such as emotional, rational, and credibility appeals) to connect with parents’ desire to cherish their children’s early years. The message should be professional, engaging, and tailored specifically for new parents considering this memorable investment.
