Dear Michael
I contacted you a couple of weeks ago about getting some sample products. I know it may sound cheeky but please don't underestimate the potential of marketing your O3 Ionic Hair Steamer to the black hair market. I explained about my forum in my first email (I hope you received it) and that it is getting a large number of page views. My forum is dedicated to black hair care. It is new but I expect it to grow exponentially over the next six months. I am looking for products to raffle off as prizes to encourage people to register.
Just to let you know how fast this business is growing: I also have a blog that has been started recently, which has gained nearly 500 views at last count. I have a twitter account that has been running for about 3 months and already I have almost 300 followers.
In my first email to you, I asked for two steamers (one to give away as a prize for the forum) and the other for myself to review - I will then give you a write-up on my blog, which is linked to my twitter account. So there is the potential for several hundred people to view and hopefully purchase one for themselves. In the US, the heutiful steamer is the portable steamer of choice and I notice through Twitter and being involved in the hair care business in the UK, that they are looking to gain a footing over here. I wanted to ask you before I ask them (they are happy to swap products for promotion) as I really want to support UK businesses as it's a UK based hair forum - ***.uk.
I hope that you receive this and look forward to a reply.
Yours faithfully
Shirley
