2021 Planning: How to get a long term partnership

Taylor Talks Newsletter - 11/16/2020

I don't know about you but I am feeling inspired to finally get organized and produce more content. Law school has kicked my butt so I need to focus and make a plan.

I am on a mission to get at least 2 long term partnership in 2021. I don't know how people obtain extended deals but I going to take a shot at it. My strategy is to email brands that I 1) worked with multiple times in the past or 2) had super successful campaigns with. I have pretty good relationships with the media contacts I emailed so I am hopeful that they will counter my offer with something.

I put one of the emails I sent out below. IT IS IMPORTANT to put your campaign results in the email (so you can remind them how awesome you are) and let them know how you have changed for the better in the last # of months.

I will keep you posted on how this goes and if I get any long term deals!

Sample Email:

Hi Media Contact,

Happy Holidays to you! I hope all is well!

I wanted to reach out to you to discuss a long term paid partnership with XXX. Also, I wanted to share the complete results of the XXX x What Taylor Likes (2020) campaign with you.

I created an InfluenceKit report so you can see all my content in one place, along with detailed and overall campaign results.

Long term partnership

I wanted to propose a long term partnership with XXX and What Taylor Likes for 2021. I experienced more growth this year and my audience responded well to your product (I made $2,000 in sales for you in July).

I would love to have a 12 or 6-month paid partnership where I can make and publish content for XXX on my accounts. I envision creating content monthly, bi-monthly, or every season! It would be up to you!

Let me know what you think and if you would be interested in something like this. I would love to work together again.

Best Regards,

Taylor
