  3. Proprietary and Confidential WHY YOU SHOULD REACH FURTHER THAN THE A-LIST Blogger outreach tends to focus on only identifying and engaging top-25 influential bloggers • Out of those 25, maybe 3 will cover your story over the course of a campaign • We collect every blogger who has ever had a thematic interest in our customers • We collect them all – all of them – into a "universe" – a list • We reach out to each and every one of them – no fewer than 2,000 but often 5,000 – via email • • But then that’s where the work starts 3 #outreachmarketing @chrisabraham

  4. Proprietary and Confidential WHY YOU SHOULD REACH FURTHER THAN THE A-LIST The initial blast is akin to speed-dating • • Most good pitches don’t require a personal relationship Success depends on five things: • 1. Freshness & quality of the list collected 2. Generosity of the “gift” being offered in the pitch 3. The ability of the email to reach the inbox 4. The charm & responsiveness of the responders 5. Following up twice after the initial email outreach 4 #outreachmarketing @chrisabraham
