New customers need good information. Although they may not want you to send them a book on the subject, they do need to know where to find information about your business, and who to contact.

A simple welcome letter can give them a lot of information, and you can put it together easily on a macro. As either a hard copy letter or an email, it should provide enough useful information for the customer to want to keep that information handy. Extremely Important:
|
Welcome letters should be friendly, obviously. They also need to be written so the customer knows they're getting a personalized response.
In nearly all cases, businesses are dealing with people who have a range of related interests, and you letter should address those interests.
Again, this is marketing. You're dealing with your market demographic, and that creates some necessities in your promotional materials.
The example here is a new client for a hobbyist website for modelers. The site provides materials for the hobby, news, and advice on modeling techniques. The audience is highly specialized, and often are experts in their own field.
So the welcoming letter (email) is being written to a person with a good knowledge base, and who will have their own informed opinions about what they want and what they need.
