HOW TO CONDUCT COLD EMAIL OUTREACH FOR PUBLICITY
by Gem Comm Investor RelationsWould you want to understand how to do PR outreach via cold email? Cold email marketing is an excellent approach for public relations agencies to get your company's name out there. Cold emails can be used to pitch articles to journalists, offer them special discounts or items, or even advertise an event you're hosting. Cold email outreach for publicity involves some experience; it's not as straightforward as it seems, but it can be done with the right technique and planning. We'll look at how to execute effective cold-email outreach in this piece, so your emails are more likely to get viewed and responded to!
Best Practices for Publicity OutReach via Cold Email:
Did you know that cold email marketing is one of the most efficient ways to get your company's name out there?
Yes, it is correct! Cold emailing is a terrific approach to reach out to journalists and influencers you don't know, but it can be difficult to know how to do it effectively. So, how can you craft a compelling media pitch that will pique the interest of bloggers, journalists, and influencers alike? Here are five cold email strategies to help you make the most of your cold emails and enhance your chances of gaining huge media coverage.
1) Don't use the standard cold email subject line: The subject line is the most important component in determining email open rates. You may spend hours crafting the perfect email body text, but if no one reads it, you've wasted your time and work. So, how can you craft a compelling cold email subject line that will entice them to open the message?
The best subject lines are succinct, descriptive, and entice recipients to read more of your material.
2) Be specific about why you're contacting them:
In your opening sentence, state who you are and what you desire. Make it clear why you're approaching them in the first place. The best proposals demonstrate why you were drawn to that particular person. Mention how well his or her profession would suit your target audience and why you think it would be a great match.
3) Make a point of mentioning the one thing you'd like them to do:
It's never a good idea to leave your reader guessing what you're about to say. So, rather than wasting their time with extended opening paragraphs and justifications, get to the point in your cold email. If you need a prospect to do anything specific, such as fulfil a request, make sure to ask for it right away. It will be easier for them to comprehend what you want, and they will be more inclined to comply as a result.
4) Make it unique:
In the email, use the recipient's first and last name. It will appear as if you spent a few minutes researching them, which will add an added layer of individuality to your cold email. A courteous acknowledgment of their recent blog post or comment on a post would also be a good strategy. This will give them the impression that you care about them.
5) Use social proof and results to back up your claims:
Make it plain why people should be interested in what you're saying or offering, and include any social proof or results that support your statements. The more people who have utilized your product or service you can name, the better.
This is because people are more likely to believe you if they believe a large number of other people are happy with your service. This might be future customers, clients, or just friends and family members who have used what you're offering, and make sure to mention the results they've had.
6) Keep It Short, Simple, and Humanly Written:
Use straightforward, easy-to-read language to make your cold email sound like a normal discussion. You don't want it to appear stiff and formal, causing the receiver to become uneasy and decide to disregard it. Don't go overboard with fancy words and extended sentences in your cold email. An email that is brief, concise, and to-the-point has a better chance of being read.
7) Follow Up:
If you haven't heard back from the recipient within a few days, contact them again. Just make sure you wait long enough for them to read your initial email first. Before you get a reaction, it normally requires a lot of conversation. You can send another cold email to a business contact, but make sure your follow-ups are as "personalised" as possible.
