Hi Sarah,
I hope you're having a great week so far! I’m ------ from ------- , a
platform that helps --------------. I was reading your blog and wanted
to let you know about a city nightlife spending study we've put
together that you might find interesting. We've surveyed the
nightlife spending habits of event goers in 5 different cities,
because some of our biggest users are nightlife and entertainment
promoters.
Now, I'm asking some favorite bloggers to check out our survey
results and see how their nightlife spending habits compare. Which
city does your wallet belong in based on where you spend your
money on a night out? Share your preferred nightlife experience
on The Prosecco Diaries. We'll be checking out every post and
sharing some of our favorites on Twitter.
If you're interested, I'll send over our nightlife breakdown and
some great graphics. Hope to hear from you soon!
Hey Sarah,
My name is ---------, and I’m the PR director for an
event we are organizing in Barcelona, it’s a new
concept of music and yoga that will take place in
a 5* hotel and it will last for 3 days with the
assistance of well-known dj’s.
Do you think you can work this event into a story?
I believe ------- fits perfectly with your target, and it could be a great value content, the event counts
with several partners like Jaguar or Ice Watch. I like
the way you write and would love to hear your
take on what we are up to! Looking forward to
hear from you!

Bloggers Are Storytellers
In marketing terms thing about:
* Added value from a blog post
* Additional social media exposure* Word of mouth recommendations
How much is this worth to you as a brand and as a business?
Where should your budget go?
How will you manage outreach?
