Perhaps you have fantasized about one day owning your own company, or maybe you have already started a business. Proposals are offers to a very specific audience whose business you are soliciting. Think of a product or service that you like or know something about. Search the Internet or research databases, and study the market so that you understand going rates, prices, and costs. Search the Small Business Administration’s website (https://www.sba.gov) for valuable tips on how to launch, run, and manage a successful business.

Your Task. 

Choose a product or service you would like to offer to a particular audience, such as a dating consulting service, a window cleaning business, a bakery specializing in your favorite cakes, an online photography business, a distributor of e-bikes, or a new specialized hair care line. Discuss products and services as well as target audiences with your instructor. Write an informal letter proposal promoting your chosen product or service to the target audience you have identified.
