Conference Follow Up

Posted by Anonymous on 3/21/2005 at 6:36 AM ET 125 Points
Hi Everyone

We recently sponsored and sent 4 members of staff to an industry conference of 200 people. As part of the sponsorship we have access to the delegate list. I would like to send out a post conference letter and more detailed info on our consultancy services. Some of the delegates we've spoken to, others we have not. Does anyone know of a good website where I may find sample follow up letters for this type of situation?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

    Hi

    You can get a whole range of templates on EasyLetters software from WriteExpress:

    But, my suggestion is don't do it! If you've taken the time and money to send 4 people to a conference, get them to brainstorm the letter. Make it relevant to the meeting; refer to events which they attended and other items of interest. Personalise it as a follow up to a mutually beneficial event.

    Separate the people out who you met and treat them differently, referring to the specific things they will remember. Be a little more formal with the delegate list and don't pretend that you somehow got to know them a bit or were recommended to write to them.

    Invite some feedback and offer some further chance to interact - a meeting, a call etc. Be respectful of their privacy - also allow them to opt for no further communications.

    Canned letters are useful if you have literacy problems, but even using one as a template exposes you to being spotted as someone who can't be bothered to be original.

    Regards

    Steve

    We are facing the same issue with a follow-up to conference attendees. I would like to simply say "thank you for coming" and let them know what our services are. How do I word such a letter when I am not the one who actually organized / put on the conference?
