Example: Beauty Brand Lead List

# 🎯 Beauty Brand Leads - OEM Manufacturing

## High Priority (Indie, Growing)

| Brand | Website | Products | Why Good Lead |
|-------|---------|----------|--------------|
| Brand A | branda.com | Clean SPF | Growing, likely needs manufacturer |
| Brand B | brandb.com | Skincare | VC-backed, scaling |
| Brand C | brandc.com | Indie makeup | Small MOQ, founder-led |

## Medium Priority

| Brand | Website | Products | Why Good Lead |
|-------|---------|----------|--------------|
| Brand D | brandd.com | Beauty | Established but could be expanding |

Tips for Higher Response Rates

1. Reference something specific about their brand (a product, campaign, review)
2. Lead with value, not pitch - "We helped brands like X do Y" is stronger than "we make Z"
3. Keep it short - 150 words max for cold email
4. Follow up once - 5-7 days after first email
5. Find founder's name - "Hi Sarah" beats "Hi there" by 40%+
