For the next few week/months I'm going through every business of every town and city in all 50 states to email them about my coffee dropshipping business. Is this a good idea? Is there a fast way to do it?
I've already gone through a few cities in my state.

Here's the email I send.

The header is: Do you like coffee?
Here is the body of the email:
I have just opened a subscription coffee company. We have some of the freshest coffee you can buy on the internet. We ship whole bean coffee the same day that it is roasted. We ship ground coffee the day after roasting. Our focus is on flavor and region. We have over 40 different coffee types from all over the world.

I am emailing you to offer you coffee for your business or for yourself at home or both. We offer many different sizes. You can make a one time purchase or buy it once a month on a subscription purchase. Subscription purchases are cheaper than one time purchases.

We are a small business just starting out and need all the business we can get. Please take a look at our selection of coffee and see if anything interests you. Also, be sure to refer friends and family if you'd like. No pressure. No hassle. Just check it out.

Enjoy and have a great day!​

Rewrite the entire thing and stop using "I" and "we" interchangeably.

easybrewcoffee.myshopify.com
No one will take you seriously if you don't even have a domain name for your business. Get a strong .com - it's only $10.

Thanks. I'll get a domain name. Should I just use "we"?

For the most part yes.
  • "I" is very personal and can be very powerful in some specific contexts.
  • "We" shows that we're a company and we're doing business here.

Is this a good idea?
the outcome is set before you even started.

would you buy from your website?
would you buy from someone with 20 times the same bad photoshoped image without any good branding?
would buy from easybrewcoffee.myshopify.com domain?
would you buy from someone random sending you a mail about there small business talking me, me, me not you, you, you?

go through this points with brutal honest. its mostly no right?
