Reaching out to influencers can seem like a daunting task. What do you say? How do you start the conversation? It’s common that brands newly starting their influencer outreach ask us for advice about their email templates. Luckily, we’ve put together a few email templates that will help make the process a little bit easier. Just copy and paste these templates into your email, and customize them to fit your needs.

Using the DM: Influencer outreach strategy.
In terms of direct messaging for brand marketing, Instagram influencers may be the most contacted. They are more active on the platform and have open DMs. They are more responsive and can answer your queries.
One way to avoid having people feel that you’re spamming them is to send them a template. Your DM template would be a short message that they could save and use to reply to you with a more personalized message. To add some customization, include some personalization so that you aren’t impersonal like a one-line email. In terms of language and text style, the best way to write a paraphrase is to match the style of the original article
You’ve Got Mail
Email is a tried and true way to approach an influencer to ask them to follow you on social media. Once the influencer responds, it is worth following up with further messages in order to continue the conversation.
The Influencify dashboard will include influencers’ social media details. That will allow you to directly message them, or if you want to use the Quick Invite function you can do that too.
To do email outreach, the best approach is to craft a compelling subject line. People won’t open your message if it doesn’t catch their attention. Try to do a little trial and error to find out which subject lines work the best.
You’ll build your small influencers army if you keep reaching out at a steady pace. You never know which one will be your next big influencer opportunity!
Your influencer marketing outreach isn’t only about copywriting.
Just like any marketing channel, it takes testing & optimization. Track what’s working, analyze and experiments to improve low performing campaigns, and rapidly iterate. If you don’t, you’ll never know how powerful your outreach can really be!
