Email service for sending 1 mass email?

8 replies
I have a list of several hundred emails of customers that have bought a product of mine. The emails are held in an Excel file currently and I do not have an autoresponder system in place.

I would like to mass email them a single email to offer them a free upgrade of the product they have already bought, along with telling them about the new product I am about to release on my website.

Is there any email service that would allow me to send a single announcement email to several hundred people just once? Could I just send the email manually from my own personal Gmail address, or would Google consider that spam?

I don't want to sign up for a monthly fee autoresponder for sending out just one email.

    In my experience with Gmail, this is possible. No doubt. The catch is, it has a daily limit of send out. You are only allowed 500 emails sent per day. This is based on personal experience - plus I've done it for years. If you will be doing it manually it will take a lot of time, but by the sound of it, you are very dedicated.

    Goodluck to you buddy.

    Spam alarms would likely go mental if you mass-emailed from Gmail.

    I'd say your best bet would be to use an AR like Getresponse and send out a broadcast. Delivery rate should be higher that way also.

    Just sign up for the free trial...

    there are a lot of email service providers that give you a free account up to a certain amount of emails, you can find them on google. I dont remember which one offer it but you can check out pinpointe, getresponse, icontact and many more.

    Not sure if this matters to you or not, but without a mail service list system, how will you know who opened, who clicked, who bounced, and who no longer wants your mail? You could be wasting that list without using a proper system to handle the actions/activity.

    Besides that, my email to that list would be asking them to show me interest in my new product by clicking a link to a page discussing the product and getting them to take another action like "yea, I'm interested in your new product" kind of thing. Maybe subcribing them to a "interested buyer" list.

    Otherwise, to answer your question... you could use a mail plugin in a wordpress site, a mail sending script, etc... just make sure that the blast is slow to send and not just spewing out all the emails at once.

    Good luck!

    Honorable Senior ,

    Feel Lucky for intouch with valuable discussion on your topics. I'm so little in all respect of you & many more. With due respect I participate here for place some my little experience ...

    Here is the 2 problem that was I have seen-
    One is......... Google banned your Gmail acount cause they have some limit.
    2nd is.......... subscriber think that the mails are spam.

    Once upon I tried manualy to send my some email to my subsciber (That was test based)
    then my that concern Gmail ID was banned without any notice . At this case my maximum subscriber not read my mail. They think that was spam. As a result my test mission is faill. I'm not frasteded about that cause that was my test campaign.

    Next time I try with Get respond, Benchmark and many more free trial auto responder. At this stage I think Get respond is the better & most effective then the others. Its easier & friendly to use. Mass more attractive template & fetured with it. Many more marketers use & like this software. Hope it is helpfull for you and you'll be satisfied with it . My apology for any mistake in discusion. Have a expect to particopate another Discusion ! Wish your good health.

    Kind Regards...

      Do they send out spam emails to my email list?

      I've heard that some free email services do that. I don't want my list to be spammed.
