Yeah, you've gotta become that annoying little email that won't go away. A lot of people forget that the sort of people we're emailing are directors, etc. that don't sit around checking emails all day. It's about getting in front of them during that 5-7 minute break they have between meetings, with a catchy subject heading.
Someone else mentioned subject headings, remember that this is your only opportunity to capture someones interest before they swipe you away into the read folder, or worse still the junk.
Whoever mentioned just putting the domain in the subject, that's mostly how I do it too. If you are sending to a public mailbox, do your research and think about gatekeepers who might discard your email before the person you want to read it, even sees it. I sometimes put things like FAO: Director Name — Forecasts for Example.uk or something that a gatekeeper might think is important and forward to the right person. Often times you can find the name of the person you want to speak to on Companies House.
It's a bit of a rough edge, but, sometimes I even look at the dates of birth and try to figure out who might be most technical minded by their age, Google them, get their LinkedIn, or find an email for them on their website and then email them.
This exactly my point.
I have a lot successful with subject heading only putting domain name, but this working from 2005-2009.
I don't know what's work this time
