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,
[[your name]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I’m [[name]] from [[company]]. I just wanted to say that I love the [[product/service]] you offer. It’s not only a favorite of mine, but our audience seems to really like it as well.

At a guess, I’d say we send about [[X]] visitors per month to your website. We have [[X]] social media followers, and our site gets around [[X]] visitors per month.

I noticed that you share [[product/service]] testimonials on your website [[page]]. I’d be happy to share a testimonial or recommendation of the [[product/service]] that you could use in your sales or marketing material.

All the best,

Hi {{first_name}},

I am doing some research with the [[industry]] and found that [[pain point]] is one of the biggest challenges in this market.

Is this a challenge for you also?

As I have a keen interest in this market I thought I would share with you this [[content]] explaining [[pain point]] as I thought it may be beneficial.

If you would like to have a chat with me about the market or how I’ve helped other [[industry]] companies such as [[customers]], please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Hello {{first_name}},

I have an idea I can explain in 10 minutes that can help {{company}} get its next 100 best customers.

I recently used this idea to help our client [[SaaS company/competitor]] almost triple their monthly run rate.

{{first_name}}, let's schedule a quick 10-minute call so I can share the idea with you. When works best for you?

Namaste {{first_name}},

I'm [[your name]] from Relax Like A Boss, a site about wellbeing and stress. And this is a pre-meditated approach.

(My zen teacher says it’s ok to send emails - just no attachments.)

Anyway, I recently ‘found myself’ on your page about meditation - [[their url]] - it was cosmic.

We actually just posted our ultimate guide to meditation journals, which I thought would really compliment your page. Would you consider linking to it?

Boom, chakra lacka - here’s it is: [[your url]]

If you did link to it, I'd be happy to promote any of your blogs to my social media followers as a way of saying thank you (and spreading good karma)

Please let me know what you think?

Peace out,

Hi {{first_name}},

I hope you’re well.

Did you know that 41% of marketers say that link building is the hardest part of their job? Research from Social Media Today suggests that this critical part of SEO is one that professionals struggle with most.

I’d like to write an article covering the basics of link building – the types of links available, why backlinks are most important and share some of my best tips on how to achieve them. As a marketing professional, I’ve spent the past ten years specializing in the backlinking process and have plenty of tips and tricks of the trade to share.

Please let me know if this is of interest or send more information or answer any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

[[your name]]
