Cold emails + physical gift, good idea?
I build an AI email sequencing tool to create outreach that isn't just a personalized opener, but a fully personalized message, but I can't help but feel like emails are no longer effective and people are tired of it. The hurdle is too low for anyone to blast out emails.
I've been thinking about ways to differentiate... what if i add the ability to combine cold emails / LinkedIn msg, with sending a small physical gift, like treats, snacks, merch or even smoothies for the whole team... to someone's office. So you can send a normal emails, then add a gift + a card with a message.
Might be a bit of a crazy idea for cold outreach/marketing and there are some logistical things to figure out, but wondering what you think?
(i know there are services like snappy etc but they are not integrated into a funnel, and more towards larger gifts / not personalized).
