Dear sir,
My name is Claire Cororaton and I am an IB Business student at Marshall High SChool. Im am doing a business paper regarding “Asian Imports”, a small store which contains Filipino, Indonesian, Malaysian store. I am exploring the possibilities of expanding the reach of their promotions policy, and venturing out into the use of advertisements in newspapers or magazines.
In this context, I would like to ask for
information regarding the distribution of your paper (ex. Where is it sold?
What area has the greatest amount of subscriptions?) and also, the cost of
placing an ad in your newspaper. Any type of information or statistics
regarding your paper would be extremely helpful as well.
Thank you for taking the time to read my
letter.
Hoping for your prompt response,
Claire Cororaton
