UGC Pitch Email Template

A good pitch is short, specific, and leads with proof. Start from this template instead of a blank subject line.

Quick answer

A strong UGC pitch email is short: who you are and your niche, one line of proof (a result or a link to your work), a clear, specific offer, and a low-pressure close. This free template covers all four in a ready-to-send structure — fill the brackets and send.

UGC pitch email template

Subject: UGC for [Brand Name] — [your niche] creator, [your platform]

Hi [contact name / "there"],

I'm [your name], a [your niche] creator on [platform] ([follower count] followers,
[engagement rate]% engagement). I've been using [brand product] for [length of time]
and think it'd be a great fit for a UGC collab.

What I'd bring:
- [1 line: your content style — e.g. "clean, product-first GRWM videos"]
- [1 line: a recent result — e.g. "my last skincare UGC hit 40k views organically"]
- [Link to your portfolio / media kit / best 2-3 videos]

What I'm proposing:
- [1–2 videos / a photo set / a monthly retainer]
- [Organic only, or ad-usage rights if you're open to it]
- Rate: $[your rate] — happy to adjust based on scope

If this sounds interesting, I'd love to jump on a quick call or just keep it to
email — whatever's easiest. Let me know if you'd like to see more of my work.

Thanks for your time,
[Your name]

FAQ

How do I pitch a brand for UGC?+

Keep it short: who you are and your niche, one line of proof, a specific offer (what you'd deliver and your rate), and a low-pressure close. This template has that structure ready to fill in.

Should I include my rate in a first pitch?+

Yes, if you have one — it filters out brands who can't afford you and speeds up brands who can. A range is fine if you're not sure of the exact scope yet.

How long should a UGC pitch email be?+

Short enough to read in 15 seconds. Three to five sentences plus a link to your work outperforms a long introduction every time.

What if I don't hear back?+

Send one follow-up after 5–7 business days — see the Follow-Up Email Template. After a second follow-up with no response, move on.
