Subject: Free wallcovering samples for [NAME] — Designer Wallcoverings, your neighbor
Hi [first name],
I'm Steve from Designer Wallcoverings — we're at 15442 Ventura Blvd #201
in Sherman Oaks, just a few blocks from you. I noticed [SPECIFIC OBSERVATION
FROM GOOGLE/IG]. We carry over 1,000 wallcovering lines (Mind the Gap,
Phillip Jeffries, Kravet, etc.) at trade pricing — happy to drop off a
sample book or schedule a 15-min walkthrough if you have a project in mind.
