Cold Outreach Template (Email/DM)
Subject: Noog Weekly + [Partner Name] — cross-promotion idea Hey [name] — I run Noog Weekly, a free newsletter that spotlights local business owners in Chattanooga. Every Thursday we publish Q&A interviews with the people behind local businesses — trades, manufacturing, service, retail, food. I'm not selling anything — I'm looking for cross-promotion partners. Here's what I'm thinking: What you'd get: • Regular business owner features in our Thursday newsletter • Your organization mentioned as a partner What I'd ask: • A mention in your [newsletter / social / email] letting people know we exist • Or: introductions to business owners who'd be great to interview Totally flexible on what this looks like. If there's a better fit, I'm all ears. Here's our site so you can see the format: https://noog-weekly.pages.dev Want to chat? Reply here. — Dimitri Noog Weekly noogweekly@agentmail.to
