Yellow Letters

Do "Yellow Letters" have to be yellow paper with red ink hand written messages to the seller to ensure a call back?

Doug R. - TIP of the DAY, and CHEAP!

Go to Fiver.com, and look up "handwritten fonts". Find a vendor on there that has good reviews and use them. They'll take a sample of your handwriting and make a font specific to you!!

The font can be loaded into word - for $5 bucks!!!

Once you have the font loaded into word. Use the "mail merge" feature with your mailing list and BOOM, you have the beginning stages of a yellow letter!

The next phase is playing around with formatting in word to make the text line up with the blue lines on the yellow paper.

Another tip - write the full letter out first with the mail merge. THEN work on formatting the spaces between sentences. Otherwise, the spacing will go out of whack every time you write additional sentences.

OR

Pay a company to do it for you. I've used several and I've been pretty happy with Yellowletters.com (not affiliated, just a happy customer). There plenty of others out there, so call a few and see who you think will do the best job.
