Quick question on {{company}} {{first_name}}

Hey {{first_name}},

As a marketer, you certainly know that:

1- Google has just massively changed its algorithm.

2- The ongoing battle between Facebook and Apple over user privacy will result in ad performance being a bit shaky.

Under such conditions, you can't rely on SEO, social media ads, etc.

As we all know, Irina, the most stable, secure, and profitable form of revenue in your business is OWNED REVENUE.

That's the revenue you make from email marketing.

I recently looked at your email sequences and I’d like (with your permission) to make some suggestions.

Would you like me to send them through? Would you love to know the techniques I use to help my clients have better clickthroughs and increased revenue?

Reply YES to this email and I’ll send my suggestions to you.

Protect Hunter's Trademark

Hi {{first_name}},

These ads can be takedown according to the search engines terms and conditions! BrandVerity can help you easily submit all of these ads quickly and easily. Protect your valuable search terms and remove competition from the SERP. Would you be open to a data review and discussion about how we can help?

Hunter's Trademark Protection - Adspend

Hi {{first_name}},

I hope you had a lovely weekend! Did you know eliminating competitors using the Hunter trademark in their ads is more important than just for brand protection?

Why takedown ads which infringe on your trademark?

- Decreased CPCs for Hunter;
- Better click-through-rates;
- Protect your brand image;
- Increased CPCs for competitors.

BrandVerity automates monitoring of ads, identification of infringing ads, and makes submission directly to the search engines for takedown super easy. 15 minutes a week to do all that? Absolutely.

If you're interested in discussing further, please feel free to schedule a meeting with me here!

Sincerely,

How to write a follow-up email template?

  • Add value with each follow-up. With each follow-up, you should provide additional value for your prospects. Try to collect more information about them, spark their interest with something relevant, provide proof of how your current clients are growing using your services by sharing their success studies, results, or feedback.
  • Write a catchy opening line. Start with an intriguing and/or relevant question, mention mutual connection, prospect’s problem, or use a recent trigger event. Try to avoid such opening lines: “Just checking in”, “Thought I would just check-in and find out”, “Just wanted to check-in to hear about”, “Touching base”, etc.
  • Make it short. In your follow-up emails, try to eliminate unnecessary greetings like “I hope you’re doing well.” Being polite is a must, but it could be easily achieved by using the right style for your email. Also, don’t use wordy sentences. Give your writing a confidence boost by eliminating words that weigh down your writing and make your sound uncertain.
  • Personalize on a high level. Besides basic personalization (first name, company name, etc), do in-depth research, and identify the prospect’s niche, mention possible pains, offer relevant solutions, etc.
  • Avoid sounding passive-aggressive. Direct aggression is relatively easy to spot, but more subtle passive-aggressive phrases can sneak into your follow-ups almost without thought. Try to omit such passive-aggressive phrases in your follow-ups: “I’m following up because you haven’t responded to me yet”, “I’ve tried to reach you a few times now”, “I know you’re busy, I’m busy too”, etc.

How to write a good subject line for your follow-up email?

The subject line is the first thing your prospects see, and they may decide whether or not to read your emails based on the subject line only.

So try not to be too obvious by having “Follow-up” or “Just checking in” as subject lines for your follow-ups. Be a bit more creative and write a catchy copy that makes users open your email.

These are the key rules to follow while writing subject lines for your follow-ups: make them personal, keep copy short, ask intriguing questions.

How many follow-ups to send?

At Hunter, our key rule is to focus on writing irresistible emails instead of adding too much follow-ups. So we recommend limiting to three follow-ups for your cold email campaigns. If you are sending too many follow-ups to someone who’s never heard about you, you may seem an annoying person and damage your company brand.

If you still feel three follow-ups is not enough or that you can provide more value/spark interest for your prospects—don’t hesitate to use other channels. Twitter or LinkedIn could easily help you to deliver your message on a personal level.

How often to send follow-ups?

Around 90% of emails are opened on the same day they are sent. The same for the responses—the chances are that your prospects get back to you the same day your campaign was sent are much higher.

So don’t wait for too long to send your follow-up email. Typically, 2–5 days is the best timing to remind prospects about your offer.
