For our B2B email blast
Financial sponsors also qualify for a dedicated B2B email blast to our network of 15,000+ brick-and-mortar FFL transfer dealers (independent of your show appearance timing).
This program, delivered in partnership with 2APricer.com, helps manufacturers expand their dealer base quickly and cost-effectively.
Timing of our B2B email blast is independent from your scheduled appearance on our weekly show.
Why This Program Is Valuable
- Direct Access to 15,000+ pre-qualified FFL dealers—no need to build your own list.
- Targeted Audience — firearms professionals who handle transfers and sales.
- Cost-Effective compared to trade shows, custom campaigns, or traditional ads.
- Increased Sales through promotions, discounts, or new-product announcements.
- Stronger Brand Exposure when combined with your TV appearance.
- Fast Distribution for time-sensitive offers (e.g., limited deals, inventory moves).
- Competitive Advantage in a crowded market.
How we handle your B2B Email
We offer flexibility based on your preference:
– **Build it yourself**: If you prefer to create the full HTML email (or have your team do it), just send us the complete coded version along with any images.
– **Let us build it for you**: Use our dedicated B2B Email Builder form — provide your offer details (subject, preheader, headline, bullets, body, CTA, images, etc.), and we’ll assemble everything in our proven, high-performing template. We’ll send you a proof for review and any tweaks before sending to the 15,000+ dealers.
Most manufacturers choose the builder option for faster turnaround and optimized results (mobile-first, dealer-focused layout). Head here to get started:
Step-by-Step: How to Build Your B2B Email
If you’re building the email yourself (or just want to see our recommended structure), follow this proven format. (Many partners use this as a checklist even when submitting via our builder form.)
Note: When using our B2B Email Builder form, you’ll provide these same elements (subject, preheader, greeting, headline, bullets, body, CTA, images, P.S., etc.) directly in the fields. We handle the layout, personalization, mobile optimization, and compliance footer.
Follow this proven structure (modeled after high-performing examples like the BOAR Products campaign) to maximize opens, clicks, and responses:
- Subject Line
- Full control — keep under 50 characters (ideal: 30–45 for mobile).
- Make it dealer-focused, urgent, and benefit-driven.
- Use words like “New Dealers ONLY”, “Exclusive”, “FREE”, “% Off”, “Limited Time”.
- Example: “FREE Musket Ball Glass + 50+10 from BOAR — New Dealers Only”
- Tips: Front-load the biggest benefit; avoid ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation.
- Preheader (Preview Text)
- 40–100 characters; appears after subject in inboxes.
- Tease added value or urgency (don’t repeat subject).
- Example: “Use code 2AP – deepest new-dealer discount BOAR has ever run”
- Tips: Add curiosity, FOMO, or personalization.
- Greeting / Opening
- Personalize: “Hey {firstname|there},”
- Jump straight to value in a friendly, conversational tone.
- Example: “Hey {firstname|there}, BOAR Products just dropped the best new-dealer intro we’ve seen:”
- Main Headline / Hook
- Bold, prominent; summarize the offer.
- Emphasize exclusivity (e.g., “New Dealers ONLY – Welcome Offer from BOAR Products”).
- Tips: Benefit-focused and scannable.
- Key Offer Details (Bullet List)
- 3–5 clear bullets.
- Include specifics: free items, discount tiers, promo code, restrictions (e.g., first order only), portal link.
- Bold key elements (percentages, codes).
- Focus on dealer benefits (e.g., high turnover, customer demand).
- Body Copy / Persuasion
- Short paragraphs highlighting product strengths (e.g., “This citrus-scented 100% organic gun cleaner flies off shelves…”), made-in-USA appeal, margins.
- Add urgency: “Grab it now—this welcome package disappears fast.”
- Keep total body concise (<200–300 words excluding header/footer).
- Call to Action (CTA)
- One primary button: prominent, colorful, large text.
- Action-oriented: “Claim My 50+10 + Free Glass →”
- Link to dealer portal/order form/signup.
- Tips: Use contrasting color (blue/green); center it; repeat if needed; mobile-friendly.
- Additional Elements
- Optional short P.S. for extra urgency/scarcity.
- Include social proof (e.g., “MADE IN THE USA”).
- Add product images early for visual impact.
- General Best Practices
- Use our B2B Email Builder form for guided submission — it ensures all required pieces are included and formatted correctly.
- Mobile-first: Short lines, large fonts/buttons, responsive design.
- Compliance: Adhere to firearms industry rules (focus on dealer offers; no direct consumer sales unless FFL-compliant).
- Personalization: Use merge tags (name, code).
- Urgency/Scarcity: Limited time, first-order only.
- Testing: A/B subject lines, CTAs, images if possible.
- Tone: Professional, enthusiastic, partner-oriented.
- Length: Scannable—bullets, short paragraphs, visuals.
