There is only one goal to your initial emails: Getting a response!
What we always suggest is to think about the contacts you already have. Maybe friends, family or colleagues working in the travel industry. Our product is flexible to adjust to DMOs, hotels, travel agencies, transportation, airlines, mobility, train companies, bus companies and much more!
1.1 First Email Template - (Day 1)
Subject line - Choose one of the following:
- Option 1: I want to write a {Neighborhood / Destination} Guide for {Travel Brand Name}
- Option 2: Grow user engagement rate with Arrivedo solutions!
Message:
Hi {Contact Name},
It's a pleasure to meet you! I am {Writer Name}, Freelancer Writer at Arrivedo interested in creating personalized content for {Travel Brand Name}.
What do we have to offer? We digitalize routes, tours and travel experiences in a dynamic interface that enhances travel brands’ web experience, giving more visibility (better average time spent, bounce rate, retention and SEO) and attracting more clients.
For example, with Mevoydeviaje.com, an OTA from Peru, we are developing blog recommendations like this one - example. There’s this demo of a multicity circuit here too - example - and how we changed the routes’ interface of Ytuqueplanes.com, the internal tourism website of PromPeru - example.
You can tag the places on the map, draw routes, include photos, videos and if you want more information about the place you can use the integration we have with Foursquare.
I would love to have a 15-minutes call to go into details and understand your current goals.
Looking forward to your answer!

Hello {Contact Name}
Hope you are doing great! This is the last email. Sorry if I sent too many, but I wanted to be sure that you are not interested in knowing more about Arrivedo.
I'll be here if you want more information in the future. Meanwhile, if you want, you can download our recent White Paper on "Full-Cycle Destination Content Strategy".
Have a great week!

Closing Thoughts
-
If the travel brand still does not respond after 4 follow-up emails, chances are that they may not be interested in our offer, or have not been receiving your emails... and this is okay!
-
If you are a very persistent person like we are at Arrivedo, you can try Cold Calling, Cold Voice Mailing, or Social Media Messaging.
- If these options still do not work, please do not become discouraged, as this is part of sales. You can move right onto the next travel brand.
[Pro Tip: You can also save travel brands that have not answered you in a separate folder in your mailbox and try to reach out again in a month or two.]

I do not see where we can send these emails from in the Arrivedo system. I only see writer's admin and profile, then there is Slack and then I have the Help section. I assume these emails need to be sent from the Arrivedo system (and not from our personal email addresses) but I cannot figure this part out.
thanks!
I'm sure someone has already contacted you but if not, there is no Arrivedo email system. I'd recommend making a gmail account with your name dot biz (example: janedoe.biz@gmail.com). Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Jeremy-actually no one answered my question. Slack doesn't seem to be a great way to ask a question about Arrivedo things and get a timely answer.
Obviously I have my own business email addresses but since Arrivedo asks us to send these emails saying we are Arrivedo writers I assumed this must be done through an Arrivedo system-so that it appears more professional and like it is coming from Arrivedo.
thanks for letting me know!
Cheers,
Brooke
