Hi [Name],

I’ve been following [Blog Name]’s deep dives into BigCommerce optimization for a while—your recent piece on [Previous Article Topic] was particularly insightful regarding [Specific Detail on Checkout Optimization].

I’m the founder of [Your Company Name], a platform focused on helping BigCommerce merchants streamline [Specific Process, e.g., order fulfillment, inventory management]. We’ve recently analyzed anonymized data from our [User Segment, e.g., 1,000+ SMB BigCommerce store owners] user base and discovered a surprising trend: BigCommerce merchants are now [Trend Detail, e.g., experiencing 25% higher cart abandonment due to slow page load speeds on product variants] at a rate that explains the recent dip in [Industry Metric, e.g., Average Order Value for high-ticket items].

I’ve put together a draft (or I can write one from scratch for you) titled: 'The Hidden Cost of [Process]: What our data from 1,000+ BigCommerce merchants reveals about 2026'.

It’s less of a 'how-to' and more of a 'why-this-is-happening' piece that I think your audience would find incredibly valuable, focusing on actionable insights for merchants using the platform.

Would you be open to an exclusive first look at this data?

Hi [Name],

I noticed [Blog Name] has been doing an incredible job covering BigCommerce workflows lately. One thing I didn't see mentioned in the recent articles is the impact of [Specific Sub-Topic/Emerging Trend, e.g., headless commerce implementation challenges, advanced B2B feature utilization] on [Target Audience, e.g., enterprise-level BigCommerce users].

At [Your Company Name], we’ve spent the last 6 months solving exactly that for our BigCommerce clients. I’d love to contribute a technical 'deep dive' guest post that fills this gap.

Specifically, I can cover:
1. Why [Current Method, e.g., traditional theme development] is creating a bottleneck in [Workflow, e.g., scalable front-end customization for BigCommerce stores].
2. The 3-step framework for integrating [New Solution, e.g., headless CMS with BigCommerce APIs] to improve [Key Metric, e.g., conversion rates and page performance].
3. A ROI checklist for [Persona, e.g., E-commerce Directors] evaluating this technical shift.

I’ve written for [Notable Publication 1, e.g., Practical Ecommerce] and [Notable Publication 2, e.g., BigCommerce's own blog] before, so I can ensure the quality matches your high standards.

Are you open to a guest contribution on this right now?

Cheers,

Hi [Partnership Lead Name],

We’ve seen a lot of overlap between the [Your Company Name] community (focused on [Your Area of Expertise, e.g., conversion rate optimization for BigCommerce]) and your readers at [Blog Name]. Both are intensely focused on [Goal, e.g., driving more sales through the BigCommerce platform].

I’ve put together a 'Tactical Workflow' guide on how our mutual users are using [Their Feature/Integration, e.g., BigCommerce's abandoned cart saver] alongside ours ([Your Feature]) to achieve [Big Result, e.g., a 15% uplift in recovery revenue]. It’s a very practical, 'zero-fluff' guide with step-by-step screenshots and BigCommerce backend configurations.

I’d love to publish this on your blog as a way to provide more value to our shared merchant ecosystem. We’ll also be promoting it to our [Number, e.g., 20k+] subscribers and across our social channels targeting BigCommerce users.

Let me know if you’d like to see the outline or a rough draft!

Hi [Name],

I came across your guide on [Topic, e.g., optimizing BigCommerce stores for search] ([Link]) while researching [Related Topic, e.g., schema markup for product catalogs]. It’s still one of the best resources out there for BigCommerce merchants.

However, with the recent [Industry Change/API Update/Market Shift, e.g., Google's Core Web Vitals update, BigCommerce's PWA Studio enhancements], some of the advice around [Specific Part, e.g., on-page SEO technical implementation within the BC theme editor] has become a bit outdated for the current 2026 landscape.

I’ve built a modernized '2026 BigCommerce Playbook' that incorporates [New Technology/Strategy, e.g., advanced structured data for variants, server-side rendering for BC themes]. I’d love to write an updated version for you that serves as a 'Part 2' or a 'Complete Refresh' for your audience.

My goal is to help you maintain that page’s authority and keep it as the #1 resource for [Topic] specifically for BigCommerce users.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi [Name],

Hi [Name],

Most guest posts are just 'how to be perfect.' I want to pitch you something different: Why we spent $50k on [Niche Strategy, e.g., a custom ERP integration for BigCommerce] and why it was a total disaster for our clients.

At [Your Company Name], we’re big on transparency. I’d love to share the technical 'post-mortem' of this experiment with [Blog Name] readers, specifically focusing on the pitfalls for BigCommerce merchants.

It’s a cautionary tale with very specific data points on what [Target Persona, e.g., E-commerce Operations Managers] should avoid when implementing [Specific Technology], and the 3 'pivot moves' that actually ended up doubling our [Metric, e.g., order processing efficiency] on BigCommerce.

I think your audience would appreciate the honesty and the tactical, BigCommerce-specific takeaways.

Does this sound like something you'd publish?

Cheers,
[Your Name]
