Find their contact details. (Either their contact page, or their whois.)
3.
Send them a snail mail letter explaining your offer.
This seriously gets more high profile bloggers to review your products - because it cuts through the clutter. Its more work, but a lot more effective than email.
- jlees 17y agoDepending on the 'class' of blog, sometimes snail mail seems way too stalkery. If it's a TechCrunch or a VentureBeat, snail mail can really work, but the whois address is a restraining order too far.
- paulsingh 17y ago+1 for the snail mail letter, it worked for my last startup :) Shameless plug: If you're serious about snail mailing people, check out my latest project, SnailPad (http://www.snailpad.com http://www.snailpad.com). Pretty soon, you'll be able to upload a PDF and blast it to anyone you want, etc... my contact info is in my profile if you're interested in checking it out.
- jaggs 17y agoSorry, that's a 100% plain not true. Snail mail gets through OK, but it's a real pain to execute from. If I get a letter I throw it away, because a) I can't easily put it into my process queue to action later and b) I can't easily click through to a website link without laboriously having to key it in manually. Don't use snail mail. Use email but with a) A superb subject line which lays out the differentiator of your product and b) a clear concise intro para which lays out the proposition in one easy glance. That's all. If it's any good, we'll take a look at it. And yes I'm a journalist/blogger.
