Exciting news! Doe's will be opening 37 new stores nationwide this summer. Keep an eye out for the one opening near you – we'd love to see you there!

How to Write this Acknowledgment Letter: Expert Tips and Guidelines
A brief acknowledgment of an order or subscription is a way to build goodwill and trust with a customer. The letter assures the customer that you have received the order and that you are acting on it. It also gives you an opportunity to communicate other information such as when the mailing will arrive, how you will deliver it, and what other products or services you can offer. Maintain a positive and appreciative tone throughout. Highlight specific details like discounts, new store openings, and product features. Remove redundancies and rephrased sentences for a clearer message. Consider adding a call to action in some letters, depending on the context. For example, you could mention visiting their new store.
