You have to do some leg work in order to find relevant actions you can email them about.
Here is one way to find “actions” that you can use as a reason for your email:
Use LinkedIn or a Google Search to find businesses
Identify potential needs of these businesses and how you can fill those needs. Can you write blog posts? Articles? Facebook Ads? Video
Use a Google Search to determine “new” things that have shown up on their website lately. You can also use social media or LinkedIn to see what these businesses have been up to recently.
To do this, type “site:URL” into a Google search, using
Next, select tools, and pick a recent time frame (1 month usually works well) to see what new things they’ve been working on or releasing.
Skim the search results for recent happenings, events, launches, or publications
Brainstorm how you can help and make it the basis of your email.
This is not the ONLY way to find recent actions to email prospects about.

David Ogilvy is the King of Copywriting.
And in 1982 he writes a 38 lesson manifesto titled
"How to create advertising that sells"
Here are the top 7 tips that you can use today:
We Make the Wrong Promise
A promise is not a random claim or stupid slogan.
It is a benefit for the consumer.
And the product delivers that benefit.
Awards are Dumb
"Pursuing creative awards seduces creative people from pursuing sales."
Translation:
If your job is to sell, focus 100% of your energy on selling the product.
Not selling yourself to voters to win an award.
"Nobody was ever bored into buying a product."
Give it some magic and charm.
The iPhone vs. Blackberry is a modern
Hit the Headline
"On average, 5 times as many people read the headline vs. the body."
People are scared of writing clickbait titles.
But the truth is that clickbait exists only when you fail to keep your promise to the reader.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.
Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:
He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
