About Pearl Lemon Catering

Pearl Lemon Catering is a London-based catering company specializing in corporate events, private parties, and bespoke catering services. With a reputation for excellent service and high-quality food, they cater to a range of events, from corporate functions to personal celebrations.

Problems

Prior to working with Pearl Lemon, Pearl Lemon Catering faced:

  1.  Struggling to generate a consistent flow of qualified leads from corporate clients.

  2.  Low response rates from outreach emails and LinkedIn messages, leading to fewer booked appointments.

  3.  Difficulty in reaching and converting decision-makers within larger organizations for event bookings.

What We Did

Pearl Lemon implemented a simple, four‑step outreach program:

  1. Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) & Segmentation
    Defined the target list based on company size (50–500 employees), focusing on decision-makers in HR, event planning, and administration at mid-sized corporate organizations.

  2. Outreach Materials
    Developed personalized email copy, LinkedIn scripts, and a one-pager PDF showcasing Pearl Lemon Catering’s services and past success stories, designed to increase credibility and drive engagement.

  3. Campaign Setup & Cadence
    Launched a 5,000-email monthly outreach campaign, with a 4-step email sequence sent over 4 weeks, and supplemented with LinkedIn connection requests and follow-up messages to reinforce outreach efforts.

  4. Ongoing Optimization
    Monitored open/reply rates and made adjustments to subject lines, email copy, and follow-up timings based on feedback and performance metrics. Hot leads were passed to the sales team for immediate follow-up and closing.

Key Benefits of Hiring a Cold Email Marketing consultant

Here are a few advantages of cold email marketing and some information to persuade you to add
this supplemental tactic to your marketing efforts.

Cold Email Consulting For Big Budgets

The fact that email marketing requires less money than other marketing methods is one of its most obvious advantages. You will not be charged any costs for visibility on search engines, social media platforms, magazines, or television networks. Utilising software to automate, track, and evaluate emails does come at a cost. Still, compared to the price we must pay for paid marketing channels, the cost is negligible and much lower when sending a large volume of emails simultaneously. Furthermore, several free methods are available for obtaining a prospect’s email address. Even the expenditures associated with buying email lists are minimal. Thoughts on whether you ought to purchase email lists should wait for another article. However, the costs associated with cold email marketing will primarily be related to either purchasing email addresses or keeping up a client database.

Our Strategies

Cold emailing offers an unrivalled chance to customise the experience for a potential consumer. But there is a tenuous connection between the experience and aesthetic appeal. A cold email can be delivered in various ways, not just visually.

You may, for instance, send a general email highlighting your business and your products and services. Or you can choose to personalise the email, which is the superior option. A study found that tailored emails result in transaction rates that are 6X greater. 

You only need to conduct thorough research on your prospects and their offerings to ensure that you are the one attaining this achievement. You must modify the email’s layout and tone to reflect their current circumstances. The chance to directly address their issues or products is unparalleled and extremely helpful.

Networking

Cold email marketing is about exchanging information with individuals and creating social or professional contacts. Through email, brands communicate with potential customers who may not be familiar with the goods or services they are connected with. You would adore it if you were seeking project management software that was served to you in your mailbox. Therefore, cold emailing helps spread brand recognition while also connecting with individuals who may have mutual needs.

A Chance To Warm Out Cold Leads

Another major advantage of cold email marketing is generating leads. You can produce fresh, hot leads. Furthermore, we all understand that generating leads is the first step in any transaction. The seller’s job is to advance a lead to the sales stage once they have initiated a business conversation. But effective cold emailing does the task of warming up the leads.

Improved Response Rates

Since getting any response is the primary goal of sending cold emails, the response rate that goes along with them is typically higher than that of other emails. Response rate is something that many marketers battle with. 

Any response here refers to your attempt to get the prospect to schedule a call with you on Calendly or even your attempt to get them to indicate whether they want to continue getting your emails. Your chances of reaching inboxes without coming across as spam emails increase with higher response rates since engagement rises.

Additionally, the level of customisation in cold emails attracts many prospects, who then reply and convert into genuine customers. Prospects who appreciate information are compelled to respond to you.

Lead Generation FAQs

In 2023, the typical conversion rate for a cold emailing campaign was 15%. Never assume that a prospect’s lack of response indicates that they are uninterested in your offering. You can persuade prospects to reply to your request with the help of carefully crafted follow-up emails and persistence.

The general idea is to start small (10–20 emails per day) and progressively expand your sending volume while monitoring your reputation and deliverability. Not to mention, there are restrictions set by email service providers.
