have you tried follow up phone calls, if the letter reached the correct person than when you ring them they might know what you are talking about. but like d woods said you have to send out loads to get anywhere, its a numbers game!! try ring up a few and see if they last least recieved it.

Hi Marcus,

The biggest problem with any campaign to get new business is that it generally requires a follow-up call to jog prospective customers memories .
 
For most people that  is the worst part of marketing/selling.  I did post a script sometime ago as I was asked what to say during this follow-up call but cant find the link.  Will keep looking though and modify this post when I find it.

The first batch I sent produced two jobs and I have just got a contract with our local authority for a total of  £4K for 2006.  I have been chasing this particular one since last October when I initially sent them the same letter.

Another 30 went out today which I will follow up in about a fortnight.

Hope that helps,

Sarah

Its on page 2 Marcus.  Its only the bones and you can add so more if you need to but should help if your not used to canvassing for business by telephone.
