    I've created an online resource that will be beneficial to secondary school teachers, and in particular career guidance teachers. What would be the best way to make them aware of this resource? I was thinking of contacting them via email. I can find generic email addresses for most secondary schools that I checked. I'd put in the title that its for the Career Guidance teacher. But I'm wondering how likely is it that the person managing the generic email account would pass the mail on to the relevant teacher? Would it be better to contact the schools/teachers via post?

    Pick up the phone and ask to speak directly with them. You’ll get a chance to tell them why they need your services. Even if they got your email or letter, they probably won’t click through to your website. Think of the unsolicited emails and junk you get through your letterbox that you ignore.
    If you speak and make a personal connection they’re much more likely to check out your site.

    From experience of working with cg teachers in a former role, anything that might be perceived as helping or doing their job is often immediately dismissed. I found going directly to the principal and having them onboard and championing the idea bore more fruit than going directly to the individual.
