Dear Raman,
I am writing
this
letter to request to create an online website for my business that I am going to start soon.
As you know, I am a makeup artist and It has been a dream for a long time which has finally
come true with the help of my family and my friends. Also
, a hairstylist is part of our business because my sister is my partner and she recently got a certificate in this
profession.
On this
website, we need some specific features so customers will find it comfortable to use . As well as
add a booking form so customers could do these formalities ahead. Mention our working hours with public holidays and do not forget to add a contact number or email
. If any changes occur then
visitors can make a call or send us an email
for other enquiries. I have sent you an email
where you can check the prices of services and they are reasonable so add a price list too.
I have an idea, you can use images to attract more customers. Use high-quality photos of a business, add some shot clips, and write team members' descriptions including their experience, achievements, and feedback.
If you need any kind of information from my side or help then
give me a call on my new phone number 8954×××× or alternatively send me an email
.
I hope for a positive response from your side regarding this
matter.
Yours lovingly,
Mohit SharmaSubmitted by harmandeep51075 on
