I Made Cold Email Pitch Proposals

Hey there! For the next 30 days, I will be creating marketing material for a startup called In Stock to expand their customer base and build new business partnerships. Below, you’ll find my sample email pitches that I created. To explore my entire project, click here.

Below, you’ll find my email proposals for potential business partners. Each pitch has its own theme: Personal, Motivational, and Inclusive. I used different approaches in the hopes to later test run these pitches on potential partners for In Stock and find which is the most effective.

For the personal pitch, the recipient is driven to follow up. Making it seem as if they are missing out while their competitors are gaining an edge, will push them to act quickly.

The motivational pitch comes off as warm and inviting. I wanted the recipient to feel as if they were getting special treatment. By reaching out, I am looking out for their best interest so they can do well.

The inclusive pitch is meant to invoke feelings of togetherness. By pushing the “team” idea, the recipient is likely to be driven by their longing to be a part of a winning group.
