Re:Help with e-mailing providers

My POV

Without a sample of your usual e-mail it's hard to say what you are doing wrong.  I can tell you from my experience a few things that annoy me and sometimes make me delete or delay answering an e-mail.  Which is not to say that I always do, just that I might if I'm busy or in a bad mood.

1.) Ask a question that I answer on my website
2.) Ask right away for more pics

LOL, I guess that's it.  I like notes that are brief but contain some kind of personal comment.  For example, "I went to your website and noticed that you seem to be interested in art..."  As a consumer you probably shouldn't have to work that hard, but we're people and respond best to flattery and such. :)

Hope that helps.

I've e-mailed a few providers here in SD about setting up get-together.

But out of the 3-4 providers I've e-mailed, I only got a response from one. And the one provider I got a response from, I received one reply and that was it.

I'm not being graphic overly forward in the e-mails. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Do you guys have any tips for e-mailing providers? Also, if you don't get a response right way, do you keep e-mailing? Or do you just take the hint and move on...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The providers can be busy.  They may not have time to respond.  Don't take it personal.  And don't flood their in-boxes with emails.  If you have a phone number for them, try that instead.

I like e-mailing cuz I'm sitting right here at the computer and its so easy to just fire one off.
Some providers you can have an e-mail relationship with because they are so good with their mail.  Others you will never hear from.  
Send an e-mail, but don't rely on hearing back as an indicator of if she wants to see you or not.  If I'm planning something weeks in advance I'll start with e-mail.  Short notice, the phone is always the way to go.
