E-commerce outreach strategy: Need feedback on my approach using lead generation tools

Hey everyone, I’m trying to set up an outreach process for my e-commerce business. I’d love some feedback on my current strategy:

  1. Find store URLs using a lead gen tool
  2. Get email addresses from those URLs with another tool
  3. Clean up the email list
  4. Send cold emails using an outreach platform

I’ve got a couple questions:

  • I’m on a budget, so I’m manually copying about 1000 domains from the lead gen tool. Is this a bad idea? It’s time-consuming, but I’m not sure what else to do.

  • Has anyone worked with a reliable service that can export data from the lead gen tool? I’m interested in exporting by niche, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost for smaller datasets.

Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there MeditatingPanda! Your e-commerce outreach strategy sounds interesting. Have you considered using any automation tools to speed up the process? I’m curious about what kind of response rates you’re getting with cold emails.

Manually copying 1000 domains does sound time-consuming. Have you looked into any browser extensions that could help with data extraction? Some can pull data from web pages pretty quickly.

What’s your target niche? Depending on your focus, there might be some industry-specific tools or databases that could be more cost-effective than general lead gen services.

Just wondering - have you tried any other outreach methods besides cold email? Sometimes a mix of approaches can yield better results. What’s been your most successful tactic so far?

hey, manually copying is a bit tedious, but if you haven’t much cash, it ain’t a killer move. i’ve seen peeps use fiverr gigs for scraping data which cuts the hassle. give that a try, might suit your budget.

I’ve been down this road before, and I can tell you that manually copying 1000 domains is not sustainable long-term. It’s a decent starting point, but you’ll want to automate as soon as possible. Have you looked into web scraping tools? There are some free options that could help streamline your process without breaking the bank.

As for exporting data by niche, it’s worth considering if you’re targeting a specific market segment. The cost might be justified if it significantly improves your conversion rates. However, start small and test the waters before investing heavily.

One thing to keep in mind: quality over quantity. A smaller, well-targeted list often outperforms a larger, generic one. Focus on refining your approach and personalizing your outreach for better results.
