Link builders are busy people.

During your link building campaigns, you might have noticed that even though your open rate can be pretty high with very few bounces, the actual response rates are usually pretty low.

That can be because your initial email either got buried by dozens of other pitches, your prospect got distracted by something else, or simply forgot to reply.

I would say that about half (or even more) of all replies to my link building and email marketing pitches come after a follow-up.

So, there is absolutely no shame in giving your prospect a gentle nudge.

With that said, let’s get started with the first reminder email example we have in our list.

Template #1:

Subject: Updating {page name}

Hello {Name},

I’m reaching out to follow up on the possibility of {updating/adding the link} to {Page Title} on {website}.

I think we’re a great fit for {page} because (describe what value does your link provide them with).

Let me know what you think,

BlizzardPress recently removed all of their 404 errors, and almost instantly climbed up 1713 spots.

As a little bonus, we have also prepared the answers to 8 of the most common questions about sending reminder emails.

Q1. How do you send a reminder email?

You can either send it manually from your Gmail or use email outreach software to automate it for you. Generally, replying within the same thread is better, but sometimes (like with event reminders), it’s better to start a new email thread with a different email subject line.

Q2. How do you politely remind someone to reply?

First of all, people  tend to reply to people that they already know, so try to keep it in the same thread as much as possible. Start your reminder email message with a friendly tone, be polite and clear to who you are and what you want. Include a call-to-action in the end, rather than asking them to reply in a plain text message.

Q3. What is a gentle reminder?

A gentle reminder email is just a polite way to follow-up and remind somebody to do something

Q4. Can I say “gentle reminder”?

Technically, you can, but it doesn’t actually add anything to your reminder, and in some instances may even be inappropriate.

Q5. Is “kindly reminder” correct?

Again, you may be just trying to sound more polite, but a simple “reminder” is enough.

Q6. How do you politely follow-up on an email?

In order to avoid sounding pushy, try to ask people if they’ve had the chance to look at your previous email or whether they have received it rather than asking them why they didn’t answer.

Q7. When should you send a reminder email?

Don’t send your reminder the next day after getting no response. 3-5 business days is the perfect time to have between your reminders.

Q8. What’s the best cold email outreach software for sending reminder emails?

There exists a variety of cold email outreach software, but the easiest to get started with is Respona.
