So why is it so important to know about email marketing during influencer outreach? Let’s break it down before going over a couple of tips and tricks that you can check out to simplify the process and make it easier to go through your outreach.
In order to help you go through the initial outreach smoother, there are templates that you can use in your email marketing endeavors! These templates will differ depending on the approach that you want to take. However, there are plenty of reasons to use any of the 5 that we will be introducing below! Go through them and see if any of them suit the needs of your own campaign strategies!
A large part of email marketing, or general marketing, is to establish connections with others. The template below is used after the initial outreach. It’s not just the invitation for collaboration that’s important, after all. You need to make sure that you keep connected to the people that you work with and make sure to give them notice when they’ve been mentioned on your blog or social media account (as they are more likely to re-share your content with their own followers.)
This next template is an invitation towards a collaboration — primarily, one where the brand has creative ownership over the content but are hoping to pass it onto an influencer who is okay with sharing the content. This is better used for contacting blog influencers. However, there’s definitely still use for this kind of email marketing template for contacting social media influencers as well.
If you’re looking at the first template on this list as the ‘middle’ stage of a certain outreach, then this template signifies the ‘first’ or ‘early’ stage of outreach. In this case, you’re reaching out to a stranger in hopes of establishing a connection that will allow you to work together more in the future. In the case of the template shown below, a large part of making it work is to make sure that the tone used is both courteous and kind to the influencer in question.
This is a more common email marketing template that you see a lot when asking influencers to work on a collaboration. Primarily, this is used by brands that have a product that they want the influencer to review. In exchange, they hope to provide a sample of the product (as well as several extras for the influencer to giveaway to their own subscribers.) It’s a very generic, but endlessly effective influencer outreach template that everyone should learn by heart.
This template, much like the previous, is very standard. However, unlike some of the initial templates on this list, this focuses more on a ‘warm’ tone. With this personalized email, you’re telling the influencer that you respect and follow their work. It’s a lot of effort to make this type of outreach, but they are definitely something that you should always strive for — especially when reaching out to influencers who probably receive multiple collaboration invites a week.
For this last portion, we’re going to be introducing a couple of tools that you can use for the email marketing stage of influencer outreach. There’s a range of these tools available out there, and not all of them are used for the same reasons. So, make sure to keep that in mind as we introduced and go over the key features of each of them!
