    Ceramics for {{company}}

    Hi {{first_name}}, We make handmade stoneware mugs and bowls in small batches, and I think they'd sit well alongside the kitchenware you already stock at {{company}}. Wholesale orders start at 24 pieces, and we can send samples so you can see the quality in person. Would you like a sample box? {{sender_first_name}}

    Re: Ceramics for {{company}}

    Hi {{first_name}}, If you plan buying around a season, let me know when you're choosing ranges and I'll get in touch then. {{sender_first_name}}

{{first_name}} and similar are filled from each lead; after a “|” is the text used when the field is empty. Written for a small homeware brand writing to independent shop buyers.

When to use it

For buyers at shops whose range clearly fits yours.

Why it works

  • Buyers want to know quickly whether a product fits and sells, not the brand story.
  • Mentioning order minimums and sample availability answers practical questions up front.

How to adapt it

  • Say why your product fits their shop specifically.
  • Include your real minimums and terms.
