I've been sending cold emails to business owners to see if they're interested in a website.

For ones that get no response, should you communicate further, or just move on?

If a follow up is a good idea, how would I do it in this situation? I was considering calling them by phone after a cold email gets no response. But, I don't know what to say, and I don't want to seem too intrusive.
