Clear, effective communication is at the heart of a strong business, yet many businesses regularly send out letters, leaflets and advertisements that are badly written and full of basic errors. Writing for Business not only shows you how to get the basics right, but how to create powerful communications, so you can be confident that everything you send out makes a good first impression. The course begins by looking at the core skills of good writing before moving on to look at different types of business writing, including letters, e-mails, memos, press releases, direct mail, reports and advertisements. We also look at the importance of clarity and simplicity in business communications, as well as key elements of layout. During the assignments you will have the opportunity to submit some of your own writing for tutor feedback, helping you to develop your writing skills further. You will learn how to create writing with real impact.
