David Schneider said that as marketers, they typically send and receive hundreds of emails a week. Occasionally, those emails are sent to people they even do not really know that well, or do not know at all.

This is cold outreach, and for better or for worse, it has its purpose. Sometimes, in order to further marketing campaigns, it is helpful to send a few cold emails. But how to do this without being seen as spammy? And how to do this to actually get results which are expected? (David, 2015)

Let me introduce some methods to you:

  • Relevance

If it is related to consumers’ lives, they definitely would open and read it, isn’t it?

  • Timing

You should make sure that there are not a lot of words in emails, but in essence, it says everything it needs to say (David, 2015).

  • Creativity

In order to stand out from the hundreds of emails people receive weekly, you have to be creative (David, 2015).

  • Credibility

This point is very important. If you are asking someone to take a chance on you and your brand, remember to build credibility by referencing your following as well as additional brands you have worked with (David, 2015).

  • Personalization

This is the last method. You should build up your own person branding and make sure it is positive.
