Quick Question!

Unread post by dramalicious »

Hi,
Just got a quick question, as I'm quite new to sending out requests and was just wondering if what I am doing is correct (want to make it perfect before I send!)
Put my LOR in a stamped adressed envelope, and a self adressed stamped one folded in half inside. Do you have to send your own photots? Or can the celeb send out their own?

Thanks in advance

Hi dramalicious,

Welcome to fanmailbizz.

Yes you can send your own photo of the celeb in question, but like myself, there are a few people that send index cards to be singned, and I ask for a signed photo. The reason why I'm doing it that way is because I don't have a good printer at the moment. But some like to send their own pics some just index cards and request a signed pic. It's a personal choice.

Okay, thanks!
I think I'll just send out a request for photos!

I would suggest doing your homework before you send a "photo-less" request. Make sure the celebrity does indeed send out thier own picture. Sometimes it is better to enclose your own just to be safe. If sending VV, always enclose a photo.

Ok your right, but sometimes it's not possible to find out, when the celeb is 'lesser know' you can't know until you try.

I find if you leave the celebrity nothing to do but sign,you get a higher success rate,send one or two photos and give them the choice,if you dont,chances are you get a PP.
