Writing In Business: Audience and Purpose
Understanding the functions of interoffice memos is crucial when choosing the best

memo.
Your task is to read the following memo to analyze the audience and purpose.
Write one-two sentences of analysis of the memo using the following questions.
1. Is this an example of horizontal, downward, or upward communication? Why do you
think so?
2. Did the writer choose the best delivery channel for this message?
3. Is this a persuasive, negative, or positive message?
4. In your own words, describe the purpose of a memo in a business setting.

Written Communication
You are a regional manager at the Walk-In Closet clothing store and you just received the
most recent feedback from a mystery shopper’s in-store experience report. One thing that
caught your eye in this report is the mystery shopper had a hard time identif ying a staff
member to help them get a changing room. They go on to mention that it was difficult to
distinguish between who was a sales associate and who was a customer because there was
no standard work uniform. This is not the first time you have read a comment like this. You
decide it is time to take action by establishing a dress code for all staff. You are aware there
may be some push back from the staff, but if you provide each employee with at least one
Walk-In Closet shirt (short or long sleeve) the dress code transition may be easier.
Your task is to write a three-paragraph (minimum) memo addressed to the store managers
in your region on the decision to implement an employee dress code program that will be
fully implemented by the start of Q3. This memo will discuss the rationale, benef its, costs,
and time frame involved in executing the new dress code policy. Be sure to address the
audience properly and write as a concerned executive. You may also draw from your
personal work experience with appropriate examples to support your referenc es.
If you’re not familiar with the Memo style, you can view a sample memo. (Note: Your memo
does not need to contain every section included in the sample memo. Just be sure to
include the date, recipient, sender, subject, and at least three paragraphs addressing the
topic.)
