One day special offer on all barbecues and garden furniture this Saturday.
Dear Mr Smith,
Are you looking forward to lazy summer evenings lounging on a recliner with a glass of wine and delicious barbecue fragrantly cooking by your side? We have some great offers on barbecues and garden furniture at our store in Brickside this Saturday.
This example paints a picture of what you can do with a barbecue and furniture as the old saying goes “you are buying the sizzle not the steak”. The paragraph paints a picture and tells the reader what is on offer where and when

We are delighted to offer all our customers new and old some very special offers on our fantastic barbecues including our range of gas barbecues and garden furniture.
Dear Mr Smith,
Our range of gas powered and charcoal barbecues and garden furniture are on offer at our shop where you can see them displayed. We have kettle barbeques, Australian griddles and Hibachis and a range of tongs to go with the same and chairs.
The sentence structure and wording is clumsy and not easy to read, plus it just lists what there is rather than what you can do with it
