An Ad from WalkScore.com

I occasionally get these soliciting emails where a company offers to write a post for my blog at no cost to me so you, the readers can benefit from great content. It’s a win-win.

I usually give the companies a hard-time over email but I figured they wanted some free-press so I’m just going to share the email with you all here:

Hi there!

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit it, but until I went to visit my brother and sister-in-law recently, I hadn’t ever considered taking a trip to New Hampshire. Prior to my visit, I could point the state out on a map (because I was always attentive in Geography class), but if someone had asked me anything else about it, I would not have been able to tell them much.

I want to tell you that after spending only a week in New Hampshire, I cannot wait to go back. My brother lives just outside Claremont. He and his lovely wife drove me to Manchester to do some shopping and have dinner. I was amazed that it only took about an hour and a half to get there. In some of the big cities where I have lived, it takes that long to get across town! We spent the night there, and drove another few hours to get to the beach. And that was just one of many fun-filled days on my trip.

I currently work for a company called Walk Score, which was recently purchased by Redfin. At Walk Score we provide information about cities and neighborhoods like the ones that I visited while in NH. I’d love to spread the word about what a great time I had in New Hampshire by writing a guest article for your website. It will highlight some of the things I did on my visit. The piece will be free of charge. I think that your home state deserves some attention!

Let me know if you think this is something your readers would enjoy, and I can get started writing!

Sincerely,

Megan Smith

Good luck Megan on your marketing effort.

PS: Claremont and Manchester are not New Hampshire. They’re extensions of Boston, suburbs if you will. I live North of Claremont, aka real New Hampshire which is basically a tax-free version of Vermont. Get it right.
