[Bloggers & Brands] How To - Not Write A PR (Public Relation) Email - 2

Since hits are still in growing phase (I don't know what people are looking for! *eye-roll*) it attracts emails that look less like a legit PR (Public Relation) email and more like I-don't-know-what-I-am-doing .

Let's see this one that came in today-

This email fails in professionalism and email etiquette at all levels. This also shows the kind of brand they are working for that would go and hire such a PR company.

HERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR BRANDS

• Always ask your PR team to "bcc" you in every email pitch they are sending to bloggers/influencers.
• High reach or low reach sites, pitch with professionalism. 
• Proper greeting, respect for the blog and good attitude towards accepting the refusal from bloggers should be taught to PRs.
• Never underestimate the power of "written communication".

Please don't forget to share your experience and pain in the @$$ emails by any person and you handled it.

Till later!
