Gmail is not created for sending bulk emails as it restricts the number of the recipients and doesn't offer professional marketing instruments. So, you'd better use email services with a great choice of advanced features. Still, if you want to reach out to your audience via Gmail, follow this guide.
How to send bulk emails in Gmail?
1. Go to contacts
Go to your Gmail account. Hover your cursor over “Gmail” and choose “Contacts”.
2. Create label
Label is a list of recipients you’ll send your email to.
Select “Create label”, name it and click “OK”.
Step 3. Add contacts
Click the icon with a plus at the bottom of the page to create a new contact.
Step 4. Create a contact
Fill the fields with the necessary information like Name, Company, Job title, Email, Phone, Notes and click “Save”.
Step 5. Add contacts to the list
After you have created the contacts, add them to the previously created list. For this purpose, tick them all, navigate to the top, click “Manage labels” and choose the necessary one, ours is “Test”. Your mailing list is created.
There are 2 variants how to create and send bulk emails in Gmail
1st Variant
Staying in “Contacts”, select the necessary label, tick the email addresses you’re going to send to and click “Send email” (icon with the envelope).
You will be redirected to a new browser window where you can create and send a campaign.
2nd Variant
Being in your Inbox, click “Compose”. In the “To” field type the name of label you’re going to send to and you’ll get the email addresses. Now, you can create and send bulk email.
