Email best practices

The generated copy is a starting point. Add specific references to the contact’s recent work to show genuine interest.
Focus on what you can offer them, not just what you want. Journalists need stories, bloggers need content ideas.
Busy contacts appreciate brevity. Get to the point in 3-4 short paragraphs maximum.
If you don’t hear back, wait 5-7 days before a brief, polite follow-up.
