Brevo.com: A Versatile Tool for Email Campaigns
Brevo.com, primarily designed for newsletters, can also be used for cold outreach if utilized correctly. Here are some steps to ensure your campaigns are successful:
- Ensure High-Quality Data: Start with a clean and verified email list. High bounce rates can damage your sender reputation, leading to blocks. Use tools like NeverBounce or ZeroBounce to clean your list before importing it into Brevo.
- Create a Fake Email List for Warming Up: I maintain a list of 100 fake emails that I use to warm up my campaigns and create fake discussions. This helps in building a history and improving deliverability rates. If you need access to such a list, feel free to message me.
- Start Small and Gradually Scale: When you first sign up for Brevo, run a few small campaigns using the free version, which allows up to 300 credits daily. This helps you build a history under the radar. As your sender reputation improves, you can gradually increase the volume of emails sent.
- Monitor and Adjust: Pay close attention to your campaign metrics. High open and engagement rates are indicators of a healthy campaign. If you notice any issues, adjust your strategy accordingly.
Gmass: A Treasure Trove for Email Marketers
Gmass is another excellent tool for mass emailing, thanks to its robust features and own SMTP server. Here's how to make the most of it:
- Accessing the SMTP Server: Previously, Gmass made it easy to access their SMTP server. Although they have changed their strategy, there's still a way around it. You'll need to run several fake campaigns and back-and-forth communications before requesting access to their new system.
- Application Process: Gmass now requires an application process for accessing their new system. Be prepared to apply and wait for approval. The process can be lengthy, but it's worth the effort for the increased deliverability and functionality.
- Campaign Strategies: Use Gmass to send personalized emails and follow-ups automatically. This can significantly improve your engagement rates and keep your emails out of the spam folder.
EmailOctopus.com: Sneaking Around for Cold Emails
EmailOctopus is primarily for newsletters, but with some clever tactics, it can be used for cold outreach as well:
- Signing Up: Signing up for EmailOctopus can be challenging as they don't accept just anyone. However, once you gain access, you can leverage their platform for effective email marketing.
- Cold Emailing Tactics: While EmailOctopus is designed for newsletters, you can sneak around and send cold emails by carefully crafting your messages to avoid spam triggers. Focus on personalization and value to keep your emails relevant and engaging.
- Monitoring Deliverability: Keep an eye on your deliverability metrics. High open and click-through rates indicate that your emails are reaching the inbox. Adjust your content and strategy based on the feedback you receive from these metrics.
