Cold email introduction – copy this campaign
Want to use cold emails as part of your customer acquisition? We get dozens of approaches by digital media agencies usually picked up by our clients’ spam filters.
Today we’re publishing one of the better ones as a crib for you to copy for your own use if you want to buy email lists and try to start working cold call emails for your B2B brand.
Here’s the copy
Subject: Oneupweb would like to work with you
Cold Email example text
What do you think?
A short, neat message. Starts with reassurance – do what you’ve always done. But we all know how that sentence ends…. “and you’ll get what you’ve always got.”
Nice use of the word “earn” in the second sentence – they are going to work for you to gain trust. I like that.
The words for the services list are all hotlinks with custom tracking codes – good practice to see where your campaign is working. I clicked on the link and it took me to a standard page… no special landing site after the page had rendered using the tracking code.
Bullet points
A neat filtering tool is used here. By quoting fees or likely media costs for services, they filter out any brands who can’t afford to pay $2,000 per month for Search Marketing or $15k for social media campaigns.
Be attracted by the big names they’ve worked for but be put off by the fees = you are not my target customer.
Interesting that it came in to my private email address. It’s a dot com so maybe the list buyer figured I must be in USA and it’s a long-registered domain (2001 approx) and short so again, it maybe didn’t filter me out for being a person not a business.
Call to action
A question as a call to action is a subtle approach. Do I think next week is a good time to talk?
Enough time to get into my diary and a question that can be easily answered. Interestingly, no easy-call buttons for direct line phone numbers added here. Wonder why?
Footer has company contact information and the usual range of social media links plus an unsubscribe.
