Sales letters are used to introduce products or services to consumers. As such, sales letters tend to use formal letter structures and are rather impersonal¹ because they are sent to more than one person. Sales letters often ask readers to consider a "pain point" - a problem that a person needs solved, and then introduce a product that will provide the solution. It's important to quickly move to your sales pitch in your sales letter as most readers will understand that your sales letter is a form of advertising². Sales letters also often include an offer to encourage customers to try the product. It's important that these offers are clear and provide a useful service to the reader.

推销信是用来向顾客介绍产品或服务的。因此，推销信通常采用正式的书信结构，并且无人称，因为信件的接受者不止一个。推销信常提醒读者考虑一件麻烦事——一个必须解决的问题，然后再介绍能够解决这个问题的产品。之后，马上在推销信中推销产品，因为大多数读者都知道推销信也只是广告。推销信往往包含鼓励顾客试用产品的优惠。提供的优惠措施必须清楚明白而且能为读者带来有用的服务。
