I am doing a project and need to know what is important to garden club members in order to send them an email?

I am a co-op student and my marketing project is to email garden clubs and offer them free samples of the garden products the company I work for makes. The products are more expensive, electronic items so clubs will be given a choice of one of three products. I need to know how to approach the clubs in my initial email so I want some insight into what they value most (ie free products, education, etc). Should I just email and say “free product” or send them some research on a problem and how the products help solve it? Something else? This will help me choose my approach in order to get the largest response for my campaign. Any insight from gardeners/club members would be appreciated!

Hi, I am the President of a garden club. Garden club members always like free items, but they are devoted gardeners so would want to have some “education” about the products, too. Choose something that would be “catchy” that relates to the product and how a gardener would “be happy to use the item” in order to make their plants grow better, brighter, bigger, etc. Or show them the ‘value” of the product helping them to save $$$ in the long run. People will pay for an expensive item if they know it will really benefit them for a long time. You can email me at: coronadohasitall@yahoo.com and I could even give you email addresses to other clubs or members.
