Hello {{first_name}} 👋,

I love using hunter.io! It's such a great service I had to reach out to you to show you how I'm using it. 🔍

My name is Justin Higgins and I'm a software engineer who knows nothing about sales and marketing.

So I built the world's best advertisement in order to get good at those skills. 💪

It's called 24hourhomepage.com and it is composed of 86,400 individual ads that are shown for every second in the day. It's a creative piece of advertising for lovers of the internet. 💙

It'd be a cost effective way to advertise your company and fun way to show promote Hunter. 📈

You can join for less than the price of lunch and advertise your website every day to our visitors.

I'd love to have you in the project and am happy to answer your questions.

Enjoy the day!
Justin

PS
If you want to know more about why I built this or how it will benefit you, give my launch post a read!

Hi {{first_name}},

Do you pay attention to your personal email inbox enough to see the promotions, job alerts, and coupons you've subscribed too?

Probably not as closely to the text notifications you receive with similar offers. That's because, factually speaking, text messaging is the #1 fastest form of communication.

I noticed that {{company}} isn't doing SMS today to complement its email marketing and wanted to discuss with you how [[Bandwidth]] can help get you started.

We've worked with similar companies who didn't want all their eggs in one basket. Email is a great channel, but combined with SMS is even stronger.

Let me know when a good time to schedule a discussion would be.

Best regards,
[[your name]]
