Home exchange contacting others.
Do you just send one inquiry at a time or mass contact?
If you send out mass inquiries, please keep track of which listings you contacted and with which organization. When I
reply to a home exchange offer from someones inquiry to my listing, it is disheartening to receive a reply saying, "Please remind me of your city, listing number and home exchange club."
Some members like to send out one or two inquiries then wait for responses while others mass contact with 50 to 100 inquiries sent the same day. Which ever method you choose please make you emails appear personable. Just be precise in what you want and what you are offering in the exchange.
Keep track of each listing you contact
Keep your contact personable
