With Show Season and the Fairs coming up, now is the time to be working on your letter that you will be sending to potential buyers.

Helpful Tips

• Who do I send a buyers letter to?
  • If you showed an animal before you should start with the list of individuals that supported you last year.
  • What businesses does your family shop at, buy supplies from or do work with throughout the year. These merchants/businesses would be a good choice to send letters to.
• What should I include in my letter?
  • Your letter should include:
    • An introduction of yourself and your project.
    • An invite to the show as well as the sale.
    • An explanation of all the ways that the potential buyer can support your project.
    • Your Signature
  • Pictures
    • Pictures of you and your project are great.
    • A picture in the form of an invitation with the time and date are nice, however it should be accompanied by a letter.
  • Can I type or copy my letter?
    • How you write your letter is up to you.
    • However, many past buyers have stated they look for hand written letters
  • How do I address the envelope?
    • The Return Address (your address) goes in the top left corner.
    • The Recipient’s Address (who you are writing to) goes slightly centered on the bottom half of the envelope.
    • The Stamp goes in the top right corner.
