Sample pitch to Shopify
A starting point, not a send-as-is. Swap in your real details and one specific reference to a recent Shopify product or campaign before you send.
Subject: Build-a-store collab, [your handle] and Shopify Hi [name], Build a store on camera or run a case study around a real seller, with your affiliate links. I make [content type] for [audience], and they are exactly the kind of people who buy from Shopify. My last [post/video] on [topic] hit [number], with strong engagement from [who]. I would love to put together [one concrete idea with clear deliverables]. Would you be open to a quick chat this week? [Your name] · [link to your best work]
Before you hit send
- Reference one specific, recent Shopify product or campaign so it is obvious you actually know the brand.
- Lead with how your audience matches their customers, not your follower count.
- Pitch one concrete idea with clear deliverables, not a vague 'let's collaborate'.
- Back it with one or two honest numbers from your best recent work.
- Keep it to a few short paragraphs and end with a single, easy ask.
- Send from a real address, double-check the name, and plan one friendly follow-up for about a week later.
