Outbound email marketing is one of the best ways to approach people who are unfamiliar with your offerings.

However, for your outbound campaign to succeed, you’ll need to build a targeted email list, craft compelling outbound email messages, develop a solid follow-up strategy, and do so much more.

Don’t worry.

In this article, I’ll cover what outbound email marketing is and the four critical differences between outbound and inbound email marketing. I’ll also go over seven practical tips to help you run an effective outbound email marketing campaign.

(Click on links to jump to specific sections)

Let’s get started.

What Is Outbound Email Marketing?

Outbound email marketing is a type of direct marketing where you email people who haven’t heard about your product or service.

Generally, sales reps and digital marketers use outbound email marketing to:

  • Establish a connection with a potential customer.
  • Gauge interest in a product or service.
  • Build brand awareness.

Outbound emails are usually unsolicited since the recipients haven’t given you prior permission to contact them.

However, it doesn’t mean that outbound emails are spam.

What’s the difference?
This comes down to the cold email vs spam debate. Unlike spam emails that are indiscriminately sent to anybody and everybody, outbound emails are only meant for relevant leads who can actually benefit from your offerings.

Now that I’ve covered what outbound email marketing is let’s go over how it’s different from inbound email marketing.

Outbound Vs. Inbound Email Marketing: 4 Key Differences

Outbound and inbound email marketing mainly differ based on four aspects:

A. Approach

1. Outbound Email Marketing

Outbound marketing (direct mail marketing, telemarketing, Google ads, social media marketing) is proactive.

You initiate the conversation by sending cold email outreach messages to a potential customer, even if they haven’t expressed interest in your offerings. This message would be a cold email designed to capture the recipient’s attention in the case of outbound email marketing.

Check out my complete guide to cold email for cold email writing tips, templates, and best practices.

2. Inbound Email Marketing

Inbound marketing leverages helpful resources like blogs, whitepapers, case studies, etc., to attract and retain customers.

Once someone signs up for your email list or purchases a product from your website, you send them relevant messages to keep them interested in your product. These messages can be a welcome email, a promotion email, an abandoned cart email, and so on.

B. Engagement

1. Outbound Email Marketing

Outbound email marketing tends to have a lower engagement rate when compared to the inbound email marketing method. (The benchmark for the average cold email reply rate across all industries is around 1% to 5%.)

That’s because you’re emailing recipients who haven’t opted-in to receive your communications.

2. Inbound Email Marketing

You send inbound emails only to targeted leads who’ve opted-in to hear from you.

As a result, inbound email marketing generally has higher open and response rates than outbound email marketing.

C. Speed

1. Outbound Email Marketing

Reaching out to a large number of outbound leads is easy — you don’t have to wait for them to opt-in to your communications.

All you need to do is build an email list and send out your outbound email marketing campaign.

2. Inbound Email Marketing

Approaching a large lead pool with an inbound marketing campaign takes time.

You’ll first have to build awareness about your offerings, get people to opt-in for your communications, and only then send out your inbound email marketing campaign.

D. Cost

1. Outbound Email Marketing

As the engagement rate for outbound emails is low, you’ll have to send a massive volume of emails to convert a good number of sales.

However, since email services typically charge you based on the number of emails sent, you’ll end up paying a higher amount for outbound email marketing. (Note: At GMass, we do not charge per number of emails or contacts.)

2. Inbound Email Marketing

With inbound email marketing, you email a very targeted prospect list.

As a result, your email provider cost will be lower and more cost-effective — research shows that inbound marketing tactics cost around 61% less than the outbound marketing method.

Next, I’ll share some tips to make the most of your outbound email marketing campaign:

7 No-Nonsense Tips for Outbound Email Marketing Success

Here are seven practical tips to help you run an effective outbound email marketing campaign:

1. Build a Targeted Outbound Email List

An email list allows you to send an outbound campaign to many people at once.

But for your outbound email campaign to work, your email list must be well-chosen, containing only those leads who can genuinely benefit from your product or service.

In other words, you shouldn’t buy an email list off the internet.

Not only is that illegal on most occasions (read our article asking “Is cold email illegal?” for more on that), but your outreach emails also run the risk of ending up in the spam folder when relying on this strategy.

What can you do instead?
Start by defining your ideal customer profile (ICP).

For example, if you’re a marketing firm working with tech startups, your ICP can look like this:

  • An early-stage tech startup in California.
  • The company has an annual recurring revenue of $1 million.
  • Their marketing budget is around $50,000.
  • Content marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) are their go-to strategies for lead generation.

Once you define the ICP, build an email list of potential clients matching these criteria.

Fortunately, building an email list is a breeze when your email marketing or sales team uses a robust cold email tool like GMass.

With GMass, you can simply search for keywords relevant to your target audience on Gmail and build an email list from your search results at the click of a button.

You can also connect your email list stored in an Excel or Google Sheets file to GMass and start sending emails in an instant.

2. Set Up a New Domain to Send Your Outbound Emails

Many email marketers and salespeople use the same email address and domain for critical business communications and sending outbound campaigns.

However, this is almost always a bad idea.

Why?
Even if you follow email best practices, some of your outbound email recipients may still mark your emails as spam.

When they do, your sender reputation and email deliverability take a hit, causing your emails to land in the recipient’s spam folder instead of their inbox.

Here’s what you can do to prevent that from happening:

  • Create a dedicated domain with an email account different from the one you use for business communications. This way, your outbound email campaigns do not affect the deliverability of your critical business emails.
  • Remember to choose a domain name relevant to your business, making it easy to recognize. For instance, if your business domain name is “tadpoletanksusa.com”, pick “buytadpoletanksusa.com” as the domain name for your outbound campaigns.
  • Pick an email service provider that lets you send your target number of emails daily. Email providers like Gmail limit the number of emails you can send to 500 with a regular account, so you’ll need an email marketing service to overcome this sending limit. With GMass, you can even break Gmail’s limits to send virtually unlimited emails.
  • Leverage security mechanisms like DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) to prevent hackers from sending emails on your behalf and avoid triggering the spam filters.

GMass’ email analyzer feature lets you quickly check your emails’ SPF and DKIM records to ensure the best email deliverability.

3. Craft Compelling Outbound Email Messages

It’s time to craft your outbound email message.

Keep these three points in mind to create compelling outbound emails:

  • Ensure that your emails are brief and to the point. Ideally, you’ll want to keep the length of your outbound marketing email to 100 words.
  • Add social proof, like case studies, press mentions, etc., showcasing your know-how and how you’ve helped similar customers with their pain points..
  • Personalize your outbound email message around the recipient’s specific interests to stand out in their email inbox. If you’re sending a generic email like most sales reps, you’re sure to be ignored.

Fortunately, personalizing your emails at scale is a cakewalk with GMass.

GMass lets you automatically personalize everything about your outbound emails, including subject lines, paragraphs, images, links, and attachments.

4. Send Out Your Outbound Emails Campaign at Optimal Times

Your outbound email campaign must reach the prospects’ inboxes at optimal times to ensure that your potential prospects open your emails.

What is the optimal time to send cold emails?
The optimal time depends on who your target audience is.

When cold emailing a B2B lead, aim to reach the recipients’ inboxes at 10 am on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. But if you’re sending a B2C email, try to reach the prospect’s inbox at lunchtime or after-hours, when they’re more likely to check their mailboxes.

Meanwhile, the best time to email an entrepreneur is on the weekend.

In any case, manually scheduling your outbound email campaigns is a pain.

With an email marketing automation tool like GMass, you can schedule your outbound campaigns in advance so that they reach potential prospects at optimal times. If your marketing strategy changes, you can also easily reschedule your outbound email campaign.

5. Follow Up on Your Outbound Emails

Chances are, your first outbound email doesn’t convince your prospect to respond.

The best strategy here is to send a follow-up email to your first outbound email.

Sending follow-ups can significantly improve your open rate and response rate — research shows that just one follow-up email can increase your response rate by 65.8%.

And the more follow-ups you send, generally, the better your engagement chances.

Just remember not to send too many follow-ups, or you’ll annoy the recipient.

However, following up with a large lead pool is challenging and taxing. But it doesn’t have to be.

GMass allows your sales team to set up automated workflows to send follow-up emails.

You can also personalize these follow-ups extensively, including the:

  • Trigger to send follow-ups.
  • Time interval between consecutive follow-ups in your email sequence.
  • Total number of follow-up emails to send out, and more.
  • Desired response to stop the sequence (e.g., the person receives emails until they reply).

6. Leverage Email Templates in Your Outbound Email Campaigns

Creating an email from scratch every time you send an outbound marketing campaign may not be practical when you have a massive email list.

A smarter idea is to create outbound email templates you can reuse in future campaigns.

This way, you can spend more time finding and cold emailing quality prospects instead of getting hung up on crafting emails. Moreover, once you’ve created an email template, you can easily plug personalization data into it to quickly create personalized outbound emails.

When you’re using GMass, every email you send gets automatically saved as a template you can quickly reuse in future outbound email campaigns.

You can directly load these templates from the Compose window on Gmail and make edits. Once you’ve made edits, just add recipients in the To field and send out your outbound marketing campaign!

7. Keep an Eye on Your Outbound Email Metrics

Gauging email metrics is crucial to understanding the effectiveness of your outbound emails.

By analyzing these metrics, you’ll have an idea about which outbound emails bring you the best results and which campaigns need more fine-tuning to be successful.

But how do you track your outbound campaign performance?
GMass generates a detailed analytics report for every campaign that you send.

This report shows the:

  • Total Recipients: how many email addresses the outbound campaign went to.
  • Open Rate: number of unique recipients who opened your outbound email.
  • Reply Rate: number of unique recipients who replied to your outbound email.
  • Unsubscribe Rate: number of unique recipients who unsubscribed from your campaigns.
  • Bounce Rate: total email addresses that came back undeliverable because they were invalid, and more.

You can use this B2B cold email template when you’re unsure if you’re approaching the right person.

The recipient will most probably let you know if they’re the one to contact or someone else is.
Otherwise, you’d be wasting time on someone who’s not a decision-maker.

Our customers love us for [unique selling proposition].

7. Voicemail Follow-Up Email Template

There are differences in a cold email versus a cold call, but one key similarity: In both cases, you aim to establish contact with a prospect.

If a prospect doesn’t pick up your cold call, sending a quick follow up email that explains why you called is a smart idea. The email lets you stay on top of the prospect’s mind, increasing the chances that they’ll engage with your next cold call or email.

     Subject line:     Couldn’t reach you on the phone, [prospect’s first name]

Hi [prospect’s first name],

Sorry, I couldn’t reach you on the phone today, [prospect’s first name]. I called to talk about [short, specific reason]. Since we couldn’t connect, I left a voicemail mentioning that I’ll call again at [date/time].

But feel free to call me anytime before at [your phone number].

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks,
[Your name, title, company details, social media icons, etc.]

8. AIDA Template

AIDA, which stands for Attention-Interest-Desire-Action, is an effective cold email approach.

At first, you grab the prospect’s attention with your subject line. Then, you generate interest through the intro of your email copy and ask if the prospect desires the benefits you offer.

Finally, you add a CTA (call to action) at the end, prompting them to respond or click on a link in your email.

     Subject line:     The strategy that helped [company A] achieve [stunning goal]

Hello [prospect’s first name],

While every [prospect’s job title] looks to achieve [goal], very few actually do.

However, by working with [your company name], the [prospect’s job title] at [company A] was able to reach [stunning goal]!

Would you like to know the strategy we used for [company A]?

If yes, feel free to schedule a meeting with me here: [URL]

Regards,
[Your name, title, company details, social media icons, etc.]

9. Compliment Email Template

A genuine compliment goes a long way in building rapport.

You can use that rapport to gradually help a potential customer develop an interest in your offerings.

     Subject line:     Huge fan of your work at [prospect company name], [prospect’s first name]!

Hi [prospect’s first name],

I’ve been following your work at [prospect company name] for some time. Recently, I saw how you turned [specific problem] into [specific opportunity] — it was clever, quick-witted, and inspiring.

Best,
[Your name, title, company details, social media icons, etc.]

10. Virtual Event Email Template

Use this B2B cold email template to invite a potential client to a virtual event like a webinar.

But before inviting someone, ensure that your event is relevant to them and remember to establish that relevance in your cold email campaign. You can do this by going over who will speak at your event, the agenda, etc.

     Subject line:     Don’t miss out on our [virtual event] on [topic of interest], [prospect’s first name]!

Hello [prospect’s first name],

Navigating the [prospect’s industry/niche] world as a [prospect’s job title] is no cakewalk.

That’s why we’re organizing a [virtual event] on [topic of interest] [date] at [time].

The [virtual event] will have:

  • [Speaker #1] talk about [subtopic of interest]
  • [Speaker #2] discuss [subtopic of interest]
  • [Speaker #3] share insights on [subtopic of interest]

Sounds interesting?
Register your interest here: [link to webinar registration form]

See you there,
[Your name, title, company details, social media icons, etc.]

11. Testimonial Email Template

Sharing social proof like a customer testimonial in your cold email helps build credibility.

When the prospect sees how other customers have benefited from your product or service, they’ll be curious and inclined to give you a response.

     Subject line:     Improve your [KPI] by [X]% with [your product/service name]

Hi [prospect’s first name],

[Company A] improved their [Key Performance Indicator (for example, conversion rate)] by [X]% in less than [Y] months using [your product/service name].

Here’s what [company A] had to say about us:

[Customer testimonial]

Want to be our next success story?
Drop me a note, and I can show you how to reach [milestone] in [Z] months.

Best,
[Your name, title, company details, social media icons, etc.]

12. Product Launch Email Template

Cold emailing a lead to ask for feedback about a new product or service works for several reasons:

  • It demonstrates that you value the lead’s opinion.
  • The cold email lets you showcase your product’s or service’s unique selling points.
  • You get to show the potential client what they’re missing out on when not using your offerings.

     Subject line:     Would love to hear your thoughts on [your product/service], [prospect’s first name]

Hello [prospect’s first name],

We just launched [your product/service name].
It’s like [your competitor product/service name], but better.

[Your product/service name] helps you:

  • [Unique selling point #1]
  • [Unique selling point #2]
  • [Unique selling point #3]

We’ve already onboarded companies in [prospect’s industry/niche] like [company A] and [company B]. However, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve [your product/service name].

Since you’re a [prospect’s job title] with [X] years of experience in [prospect’s industry/niche], your opinions and suggestions would be invaluable.

Can I send you more information about [your product/service name]?

Thanks,
[Your name, title, company details, social media icons, etc.]

Now that we’ve gone over several effective templates, I’ll cover some B2B cold email best practices you should follow.

3 Best Practices for B2B Cold Email Success

Follow these three best practices to boost your B2B cold email response rate:

1. Write Personalized Emails that Get to the Point Quickly

When sending cold emails, the ground rule is: always personalize your emails.

Why?
The prospect probably doesn’t know who you are — so if your B2B sales email is generic like the other emails in their inbox, you’re sure to be ignored.

In contrast, personalizing just the email subject line can increase your open rate by 22%.

For writing a personalized email, you can include prospect details, like their:

  • Name.
  • Company name.
  • Specific interests.
  • Relevant social proof, and more.

However, while there’s no ideal length for a B2B cold email, you’ll want to keep your personalized email sweet and short. Essentially, your email should get to the point quickly without beating around the bush.

2. Remember to Follow Up on Your B2B Cold Emails

Research shows that sending just one follow-up email can boost your reply rate by 65.8%.

A follow up email essentially provides your sales team another chance to make your case with the prospect.

But how many follow-up emails should you send?
Although sending more follow-ups can help improve B2B cold email engagement, I recommend limiting the number of follow-ups to five.

Any more, and you may end up annoying your ideal prospect and ruining any chances of closing a sale.

3. Scale Up Your B2B Outreach Efforts with Cold Email Software

Next, I’ll answer a few commonly asked questions about B2B cold emails:

2 B2B Cold Email FAQs

Here are my answers to two commonly asked questions about B2B cold emails:

1. Is It Illegal to Send a B2B Cold Email?

It depends.

Is cold emailing illegal? No… as long as what you’re sending is relevant, defensible, and follows some important guidelines.

Sending a cold email to someone who works at a company related to your product/service is generally allowed under U.S.- and European-specific regulations (CAN-SPAM and GDPR, respectively).

However, you may be required to:

  • Provide an opt-out or unsubscribe link.
  • Specify how you’ll store the recipient’s data and for what purpose.

On the other hand, buying an email list of B2B companies may violate such regulations. It’s better to avoid this practice entirely and stay on the safe side of the law.

Read my detailed post on GDPR email marketing for more info.

2. How to Avoid the Spam Filter When Sending a B2B Cold Email?

There’s a big difference between cold email vs spam. Keep these pointers in mind to prevent your B2B cold email campaigns from going to the spam folder:

  • Ensure that your outbound email list is up-to-date and has only valid email addresses.
  • Don’t mention words/ phrases like “cheap”, “bargain”, “cash bonus”, “risk-free”, etc. in your email subject line — essentially, avoid anything that sounds spammy.
  • Request your recipient to add your email address to the safe sender list.
  • Avoid adding attachments to your emails; instead, provide a link to the document’s location on the cloud.
  • Limit the number of hyperlinks you include in your cold email — ideally, keep the number of hyperlinks under five.

15 Best Outreach Email Software to Use in 2024

Here’s a curated list of the top 15 outreach email software solutions:

1. GMass

Gmass

GMass is a powerful outreach email tool that works entirely inside Gmail.

Its advanced features have made GMass a top choice for startup founders, small business owners, salespeople, influencers, and even employees at social media powerhouses like Twitter and LinkedIn.

GMass Key Features

Here are five robust GMass features that can ramp up your email outreach efforts:

1. Automated Email Personalization

To grab a prospect’s attention, your email must stand out in their inbox — instead of getting lost in the flurry of other emails.

How do you do that?
A great practice is personalizing your outreach messages based on who you’re emailing.

However, manually personalizing each outreach email is impossible with a long prospect list.

Enter GMass’ automatic personalization feature!

As one of the best cold email software solutions in the market, GMass lets you automatically personalize almost everything about your email, including:

Personalize

2. Automatic Follow-up Emails

There’s no guarantee that a lead or prospect will interact with you right after cold emailing them the first time

You’ll need to send follow-up emails to drive them forward in the sales process.

However, manually sending follow-up emails to prospects is a daunting task.

With GMass’ auto follow-ups feature, you can create an automated workflow and follow up with prospects until they respond to your email.

GMass also lets you customize:

  • The triggers for your follow-up sequences.
  • The number of follow-ups to send.
  • The interval between subsequent emails, and more.

Automated Followups

3. Mass Email Scheduling

Your outreach efforts will be in vain if your email fails to reach the right inbox at the right time.

GMass provides you with a bulk email scheduling feature to maximize prospect engagement through timely outreach emails.

This outreach software lets you schedule your outbound messages to be sent at a pre-determined time or at a custom date/time of your choosing. You can also reschedule the email by altering its date/time in Gmail’s “Draft” folder.

Mass scheduling

4. Campaign Reports

It’s not enough to just send out an email campaign.
You also need to ensure that your outreach email campaign performs well.

How do you do that?

Every time you send an email campaign through GMass, a detailed report gets generated in your Gmail inbox.

It shows key metrics like:

  • Recipients: The number of people to whom you sent the outreach email campaign.
  • Open Rate: The number of unique recipients who opened your outreach email.
  • Click Rate: The number of recipients who clicked on a link in your outreach email.
  • Bounces: The number of outreach emails that failed to reach your prospects’ inboxes.
  • Unsubscribes: The number of subscribers who have opted out of your mailing list.

Campaign Reports

5. Email List Builder

Your email outreach efforts become successful only if you reach out to the right people.

By creating an email list with GMass, you can send an outbound cold email campaign to a targeted group of people easily.

Email List Builder

How do you do that?
Just search for keywords related to your target audience in Gmail, and GMass will automatically build an email list from your Gmail search results.

12 Great Cold Email Automation Software Picks for 2024

Here’s my hand-picked list of the 12 best cold email automation software:

1. GMass

GMass home page

GMass is a powerful cold email outreach and automation software that works inside Gmail.

Its robust cold emailing capabilities and ease of use make it the go-to cold email tool for salespeople, marketers, small business owners, and even employees at large companies like Google, Uber, and Twitter.

Curious about what GMass offers you?
Let’s find out.

GMass Key Features

Here are five key GMass features that make it perfect for your cold outreach needs:

1. Automatic Email Personalization

Your prospect’s inbox is probably flooded with outreach emails. That’s why sending a generic cold outreach email won’t cut it.

You’ll need to personalize the outreach message based on the prospect’s unique persona and interests. This makes the email relevant to the prospect, improving your chances of receiving a response.

But isn’t personalization time-consuming?
Not when you’re using GMass!

With GMass, you can create an automatically personalized email campaign easily.

You can add personalized:

Automatic Email Personalization

2. Bulk Email Scheduling

GMass lets you schedule your cold email to go out at a future time automatically. You can choose from pre-configured dates/times or enter a custom date/time. This way, your email will reach the recipient’s inbox when they’re likeliest to read your email.

Should your plans change, you can quickly reschedule the email from the Gmail “Drafts” folder.

Bulk Email Scheduling

3. Auto Follow-Ups

In most cases, only a few leads will engage with your first cold email.

But that doesn’t mean cold emails are ineffective.

Instead, it means that you need to follow up on your initial conversation — a study reveals that just one additional follow up email can increase your response rate by 65.8%.

However, managing the follow-up process is tedious if you’ve got a long contacts list.

Is there an easier way to follow up with leads?
There is!

In GMass, you can easily set up an automatic workflow to follow up till a potential customer replies.

And the best part is that you can personalize everything about these follow-ups, including the:

  • Follow-up triggers.
  • Number of follow-ups.
  • Time interval between follow-ups, and more.

Automated Email Follow-Up

4. Campaign Analytics Reports

When cold emailing a potential client, there’s no guarantee your emails will work.

But to understand the effectiveness of your cold emails, you’ll need to measure email performance metrics.

Fortunately, every time you send a cold outreach email with GMass, a detailed Campaign Report gets auto-generated in your Gmail inbox.

The report shows crucial metrics like your:

  • Open Rate: Number of unique recipients who opened your cold email.
  • Reply Rate: Number of unique recipients who replied to your cold email.
  • Click Rate: Number of unique recipients who clicked a link inside your cold email.
  • Bounce Rate: Number of cold emails that went undelivered due to invalid addresses.
  • Unsubscribe Rate: Number of recipients who opted out of your cold email campaigns.

Campaign Analytics Reports

5. Email List Builder

Emailing your cold leads one by one is inefficient.

A better approach is to build an email list of your leads and send them a targeted cold email campaign.

But how exactly do you build the email list?

In GMass, building your email list is as simple as doing a Google search. Just head to your Gmail account and search for keywords related to your target audience. GMass will then automatically compile an email list from your Gmail search results.

Now that I’ve covered the essential features to watch out for, let’s explore the best sales outreach tools available today.

Top 12 Sales Outreach Tools

Here’s my curated list of 12 robust sales outreach tools:

1. GMass

GMass home page

GMass is a powerful sales outreach and marketing automation tool that works inside Gmail.

Its advanced outreach functionalities have made it a popular email automation tool among sales professionals, sales managers, small business and startup owners, and even employees at powerhouses like Google and LinkedIn.

GMass Key Features

Here are five GMass features that make it one of the most sought-after sales prospecting tools:

A. Automatic Email Personalization

As you’re a stranger to most new customers, your outreach efforts will likely be ignored if you send a generic cold email.

Instead, you should send emails customized to your lead’s unique interests and needs.

But isn’t personalizing emails time-consuming?
Not with an email outreach tool like GMass!

With GMass, you can automatically personalize:

Personalize

And since you’re sending emails personalized to the prospects’ interests or needs, they’ll be inclined to respond.

B. Bulk Email Scheduling

With GMass’ scheduling feature, you can automatically send your sales outreach campaigns at a specific date/time. This way, your email reaches the prospect when they’re most likely to open your messages.

Simply set up your email schedule, and your recipients will receive the campaign at the right time, irrespective of their time zone.

And if you wish to reschedule the campaign, you can easily modify its date/time from the Gmail “Draft” folder.

Bulk Email Scheduling

C. Email List Builder

Consolidating a list of your prospects’ email addresses makes it easier to reach out at scale.

GMass lets you quickly build an email list from your existing contacts. All you’ve got to do is search for keywords linked to your target audience in Gmail, and GMass will automatically consolidate email addresses from your search results.

Email List Builder

For maximum flexibility, you can also import an email list saved as a Google Sheet, Excel, or CSV file to GMass.

D. Automated Email Follow-Ups

You can’t rely on a single sales outreach email to engage leads. Following up with more messages is essential if you wish to hold their interest.

However, manually following up with many leads can exhaust your sales rep.

Fortunately, with a sales engagement platform like GMass, you can automate the follow-up process and keep sending messages until the prospect responds.

When setting up your follow-up workflow, you can choose:

  • The actions triggering your follow-up sequence.
  • The number of follow-ups to send.
  • The interval between follow-up emails, and more.

Automated Follow-Ups

E. Detailed Analytics Reports

When you send a sales outreach campaign with GMass, it automatically generates a Campaign Report in your Gmail inbox.

The analytics report helps your sales professionals gauge email metrics like:

  • Open rate: number of unique recipients who opened your cold outreach email.
  • Reply rate: number of recipients who replied to your sales email.
  • Bounces: number of outreach emails that didn’t reach the prospects’ inboxes.
  • Unsubscribes: number of recipients who opted out of your mailing list., and more.

GMass Campaign Reports

That’s not all!
GMass also equips your sales reps with other features to elevate their sales outreach game.

Additional GMass Features

Here are four more GMass features helping you achieve your sales outreach goals:

  • Behavior-Based Campaigns: Create customized email marketing campaigns based on prospects’ responses to your previous campaigns.
  • Email Templates: Save your outbound sales emails as templates to reuse in future outreach campaigns.
  • A/B Testing: Identify the variation that secures maximum leads by split testing different email variations.
  • Sentiment Analysis: Check the sentiment scores of responses to find your most interested prospects.

If you go to connect to your Google Sheet only to find a strange dialog box that looks like this…

The alternate interface you’ll be presented with if GMass can’t list your Sheets because of an administrative block

…it’s because your Google Workspace Admin has blocked third-party apps like GMass from accessing your Google Drive. Therefore, we can’t display the normal interface where you can choose your Google Sheets from a pretty drop-down menu — but we do generate this alternate interface so that you can still connect to your Sheet without losing any functionality.

But, you can still connect to your Sheet! There’s just a little bit of extra work involved.

The steps are:

  1. Pull up your Sheet in a separate browser tab.
  2. Find the Sheet’s ID in the URL and copy it to your clipboard.
  3. Paste it into the GMass field.

Pull up your Sheet in a separate browser tab.

Navigate to your Sheet just like you would anytime you want to see or edit your Sheet. Start at sheets.google.com if you’re not sure how to get to your Sheet. Once you’re looking at your Sheet, your browser will look like this:

We’re interested in the URL for the Sheet, and specifically the part of the URL that represents your Sheet’s ID. If the URL is:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1adSMhi3qqfWWk8f0jpnydSp75gCYgQdwu0fGqZOIUSw/edit#gid=0

then the Sheet’s ID is:

1adSMhi3qqfWWk8f0jpnydSp75gCYgQdwu0fGqZOIUSw

Copy it to your clipboard

Copy that to your computer’s clipboard using CTRL+C (Windows) or CMD+C (Mac).

Paste it into GMass

Now all you need to do is paste it into the GMass field in Gmail, and GMass will load the specific worksheets in that Sheet and ask you to choose — just like in the regular interface.

That’s it, and now you’re on your way!

Read on if you’re interested in the technical details behind this alternate workflow.

Why isn’t the Google Picker working?

You might notice that if you click the “Choose Sheet” link, you’ll get a screen that looks like this:

GMass uses the Google Picker (to work around Google Drive access restrictions that your Google Workspace Admin has imposed) to let you pick a file, and when you are able to pick a file, you don’t have to hunt down your Sheet’s ID manually and copy/paste it. Recently, though, it seems that the Google Picker has stopped working, and until we see an update from Google about it, there’s not much we can do.

What should my Google Workspace Admin change?

If you want to see the normal interface where you can choose your Sheet from the standard dropdown menu, your Google Workspace Admin needs to lift the restrictions in place on your Google Drive account. There are two places inside the Google Admin Console where restrictions on Drive may be in place.

Under “Drive and Docs” settings

Change OFF to ON

Hit SAVE.

Under “API controls” settings

Go to third party access.

Under Google services, go to “View list”

Select Drive and change it to Unrestricted if it’s currently Restricted.

Lastly, you can take one final step and whitelist GMass

For good measure, you can “whitelist” GMass by forcing it to be a trusted app. However, even making GMass “trusted” doesn’t avoid all the blocks that your administrator has in place. Trusting GMass will not override the “Drive and Docs” setting above that allows access to the Drive SDK. As long as the Drive SDK API is disabled, the alternate Sheets interface will show in GMass, even if GMass is trusted. However, whitelisting GMass will solve an issue is if Google Drive is marked “Restricted” under “API Controls.” If Google Drive is “restricted” here, then the only way to use GMass with Sheets is to put in an exception for GMass by “trusting” it specifically.

To trust GMass:

1. Choose to “View list” under Configured apps.

2. Then go to Add app and search by OAuth App Name.

3. Then just search for “gmass,” and choose the first “GMass” app that comes up.

4. Choose the only OAuth Client ID that shows up.

5. Set “GMass” to “Trusted.”

Email outbound software helps you send outbound emails to prospects.

And unlike inbound emails you send to subscribers, outbound or cold emails are personalized emails you send to people you haven’t interacted with before but with whom you would like to connect.

However, since the recipient might not know you, you’ll have difficulty engaging them.

Don’t worry.

With the right email outbound tool, salespeople and marketing teams can send successful outreach campaigns effortlessly.

In this article, I’ll go over what features to look for in an excellent email outbound tool. Then, I’ll cover 12 top email outbound software offerings, including their key features, pricing, and customer ratings.

(Click on links to jump to specific sections.)

Let’s get started.

What to Look for When Choosing Your Email Outbound Software

Here are five must-have features in email outbound software:

  • Email Personalization: Since recipients usually ignore generic outbound emails, you’ll need the capability to send personalized emails at scale.
  • Email Reports: Without email performance reports, you won’t know which outbound emails are effective and which ones aren’t.
  • Automated Follow-Ups: You can’t manually follow up on each outbound email, so you’ll need the functionality to send automated emails as follow-ups.
  • Email Scheduling: Scheduling features help your email reach the right inbox at the right time for better open and reply rates.

Now that I’ve covered the essential features, let’s explore the top email outbound software available today.

12 Best Email Outbound Software to Boost Your Sales

Here are 12 email outbound software tools you can use to approach and convert leads:

1. GMass

Gmass

GMass is a powerful email outbound and email marketing automation solution that works inside Gmail. Its advanced cold email outreach functionalities have made it a popular tool used by employees in powerhouses like Google and Twitter.

This cold email tool is also perfect for sales and marketing professionals, startup founders, and small business owners — essentially anyone who uses email.

GMass Key Features

Let’s explore five GMass features you can leverage in outbound email campaigns:

A. Automatic Email Personalization

Most outbound email recipients may not know who you are. Naturally, if you send them a generic email like some amateur sales rep, it’s almost guaranteed to be ignored.

What do you do instead?
Simple: you send them tailor-made emails.

But isn’t that time-consuming?
Not when you’re using GMass!

With GMass, you can automatically personalize:

This way, you can quickly personalize your emails at scale for each recipient, increasing your chances of connecting with them.

Personalize

B. Bulk Email Scheduling

GMass lets you specify a date/time for your outbound email campaign. When it’s time, the tool will automatically send your emails.

This way, you:

  • Don’t have to be online when the sales or marketing campaign goes out
  • Can approach prospects across time zones

The best part?
Your emails reach prospects when they’re likeliest to engage, boosting your email open rate.

Bulk email scheduling

C. Detailed Analytics Reports

When you send an outreach or marketing campaign with GMass, it automatically generates a Campaign Report in your inbox.

This analytics report gives a clear picture of the performance of your tracked emails, including:

  • Open rate
  • Reply rate
  • Bounces
  • Unsubscribes, and more

Campaign reports

D. Automated Email Follow-Ups

A single follow-up email can boost reply rates by 21%. Imagine what multiple follow-ups can do!
However, manually creating and sending follow-ups is tiring.

Fortunately, you can automate the process with the GMass cold email software and send follow-ups until you receive a reply.

You can also choose:

  • What triggers the follow-up sequence
  • How many follow-ups to send
  • The time interval between follow-ups, and more

Automated followups

E. Email List Builder

An email list lets you send an outbound campaign to a large number of people easily.

Here’s how you can build an email list:

  1. Place “lead magnets” on your website to collect email addresses.
  2. Create an email list from your current contacts.

The #2 approach is much quicker and helps create a more targeted email list.

To create an email list in GMass, all you have to do is perform a Gmail search with keywords related to your target audience, and GMass will automatically build the email list for you.

Email list builder

You can also easily connect an email list stored in Google Sheets, Excel, or a CSV file to GMass.

But that’s not all!

GMass supports various other advanced features to take your outbound email campaigns to the next level.

Other Powerful GMass Features

Here are some more useful GMass features:

  • AB Testing: Perform an AB test to identify which email variation has the best responses.
  • Mail Merge: Create a mail merge campaign by connecting your Google Sheets file to GMass. You can also convert your Excel or CSV file to Sheets and connect it to GMass.

From automatically personalizing emails to sending them at the right time, sales email software helps you spend less time managing your emails, giving you more actual selling time with customers.

But finding the right sales email software for your business can be tiring — you’ll need to review tons of product pages and slog through never-ending lists of customer reviews.

And even after all that effort, you may still pick the wrong tool.

To help, I’ve curated a list of the 12 best sales email software programs, including their key features, pricing, and customer ratings. Use this info to select the ideal email software for your sales team.

Before we get started with the top 12 tools, I’ll cover some must-have features you should look for when picking your sales email software.

What to Look for When Choosing Your Sales Email Software

Here are six essential features to look for in sales email software:

  • Bulk Email Personalization: Since it isn’t feasible to create a custom email for each lead manually, the functionality to personalize emails automatically at scale is vital.
  • Email Scheduling: If you can’t schedule emails, it will be challenging to reach prospects’ inboxes at optimal times and overcome time zone differences.
  • Auto Follow-Up: Manually following up with leads is tedious, so you’ll need the capability to set up workflows to send automated follow-up emails.
  • Campaign Analytics Reports: Not every sales email will elicit positive responses; by analyzing metrics like the open rate, you can identify which emails worked and which didn’t.
  • A/B Testing: While it’s impossible to predict accurately how an email will perform, A/B testing lets you easily identify the type of email that’s more likely to succeed.
  • Email List Builder: Reaching the right audience is crucial to converting sales. But for that, you’ll need the functionality to compile an email list of your target audience quickly.

Now, let’s get started with the best sales email software for 2022:

12 Best Sales Email Software Software for 2024

Here are 12 great sales email software that your sales team can use to approach and convert leads effectively:

1. GMass

Gmass

GMass is an all-in-one email outreach and marketing automation tool that works entirely inside Gmail.

Its easy-to-use and advanced capabilities have made it a popular tool used by employees in powerhouses like Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Uber. This email marketing service is also perfect for sales and marketing teams, startups, and small businesses.

GMass Key Features

Here are five GMass features that’ll level up your sales email game:

1. Automatic Email Personalization

Your prospects receive tons of generic emails every day.

To stand apart, your email should look tailor-made for the prospect. But manually personalizing each email isn’t feasible when your sales rep handles an email list of 100+ prospects.

Don’t worry.
With GMass, you can automatically personalize bulk emails, including:

Personalize

2. Automated Follow-Ups

Follow-ups help ensure that your outbound emails get responses — research shows that sending a single follow-up can increase your response rate by 21%.

However, managing the follow-up process is challenging when you have several leads in the sales pipeline.

GMass’ automated follow-up feature is handy in such cases. You can create workflows inside this email sequence software to send automated emails as follow-ups to previous sales emails.

Additionally, you can customize everything about these follow-ups, like:

  • What triggers the follow-up sequence — for example, a prospect clicking on a link
  • How many follow-ups to send
  • The time interval between subsequent follow-ups, and more

Follow ups

3. Campaign Reports

It’s not enough to simply send sales email campaigns; you’ll also need to ensure that they’re performing well.

But how?
When you send an email campaign with GMass, a Campaign Report is generated in your Gmail inbox.

This detailed analytics report shows key email metrics, like:

  • Recipients: Number of people to whom you sent the sales email campaign
  • Open rate: Number of unique email recipients who opened your sales email
  • Click rate: Number of recipients who clicked on a link inside your sales email
  • Bounces: Number of sales emails that didn’t reach the prospects’ inboxes
  • Unsubscribes: Number of subscribers who chose to opt-out of your mailing list

Campaign report

4. Email List Builder

Building your sales email list is a breeze with GMass.

Just open your Gmail inbox, type in keywords relevant to your target audience in the search box, and hit Enter. Once Gmail displays the search results, click the magnifying glass button near the search box to build an email list from Gmail search results.

Email list builder

When your sales email list is compiled, GMass will open a Compose window with those email addresses in the To field. Then, enter your message and hit the GMass button to send a sales email to your new email list.

5. Mass Email Scheduling

To maximize engagement, your sales email must reach the right inbox at the right time.

GMass’ bulk email scheduling feature lets you send emails at a specific date/time, ensuring that these emails reach prospects when they’re most likely to respond. You can choose from pre-configured times or select a custom date/time.

After you’ve scheduled an email campaign, you can also reschedule it by going to the Drafts folder and picking a new date/time.

Email marketing in the European Union has gotten trickier thanks to GDPR.

However, by adopting some easy-to-follow practices, you can ensure that you comply with the EU’s GDPR email marketing requirements.

In this article, I’ll first briefly explain what GDPR is. I’ll then cover its implications for email marketing and highlight five best practices for GDPR compliant email marketing. Later, I’ll describe what impact GDPR may have on your email policy.

As a bonus, I’ll also answer two GDPR email FAQs.

This Article Contains:

(Click on links to jump to specific sections.)

Disclaimer: This article is meant to provide a high-level overview of how GDPR affects emails. It’s not a substitute for legal advice. 

For legal advice and specific questions on email regulations, please reach out to your attorney or talk to your data protection officer.

Let’s get started.

What Is GDPR?

GDPR means General Data Protection Regulation.

It’s a European Union data protection and privacy law that regulates how the user data of individuals in the EU can be collected, stored, and processed.

There are three key things you should know about GDPR:

  1. GDPR applies to any organization (referred to as the “data processor” or “data controller”):
    • Operating within the European Union
    • Outside the European Union, but offering goods and services to people in the EU
    • Outside the European Union, but processing the personal data of EU individuals
  2. Under GDPR, an EU individual (referred to as the “data subject”) can monitor, control, and delete any user data relating to them. These provisions are applicable even when an organization has a legitimate interest in processing customer data. If a data subject were to object to data processing, the organization would have to respect the individual’s choice and delete their data.
  3. Violation of this personal data protection law can result in hefty fines — up to €20 million or 4% of the organization’s total global turnover.

Essentially, GDPR protects the data privacy and data security of individuals in the EU, levying hefty fines on organizations that violate its rules.

Now, let’s go over how GDPR impacts email marketing:

What Does GDPR Say about Email Marketing?

The connection between email marketing and GDPR may not be evident at first glance. And even when you explore GDPR, you don’t see many references to email requirements per se.

Does that mean GDPR has nothing to do with email marketing?
No — GDPR does apply to email marketing.

GDPR mandates that organizations must:

  • Ask recipients for an affirmative opt-in to receive direct marketing communications
  • Provide recipients with a clear, unambiguous way to opt-out of marketing communications
  • Offer a method by which customers can request the deletion of their personal data

In short, GDPR seeks to ensure that consumers receive only direct marketing communications to which they’ve consented and that add value to their lives.

Note: If you email an existing customer about similar products, you may not require express consent according to a lawful basis under GDPR. However, it’s always better to stay on the safe side.

Now that you know what GDPR says about email marketing, I’ll go over what it says about cold emailing your prospects:

Is Cold Emailing Allowed under GDPR?

The answer is a conditional yes.

Under GDPR, marketers can send cold emails to people at companies — aka B2B cold emails. But this doesn’t mean that you can send cold email campaigns to any person in some random company.

Your business should be logically connected to the business activities of the prospect’s company. And you’ll need a solid basis to claim how the prospect’s company can benefit from your services.

Moreover, you’ll need to add a disclaimer in your email copy informing the cold email recipients:

  • What personal data you’re collecting about them
  • How you’ll store their personal information
  • How you intend to use customer data
  • How the recipient can remove their user data from your email list

That’s not all.

You shouldn’t process or store the lead’s personal data longer than necessary. To stay on the safer side, consider deleting the personal data of leads who don’t respond to you after 30 days.

Note: While you’re allowed to send B2B cold emails, businesses cannot send cold emails to individuals (B2C) — for lead generation or other marketing purposes — according to GDPR.

Next, we’ll take a look at some email best practices you can follow to ensure that you’re complying with GDPR.

5 Best Practices for GDPR Compliant Email Marketing

Here are five best practices you can follow for email compliance with the GDPR:

Best Practice #1: Get Re-Permission from Your Email Subscribers

Your mailing or subscriber lists may include EU residents you added before GDPR came into effect (May 25, 2018).

These are your legacy contacts, and you’ll need to check how you got these subscribers.

You may encounter two categories of people in your mailing list:

  1. People who have explicitly opted-in to receive your marketing communications — in this case, you can continue to send them direct marketing emails and don’t need to ask for permission again.
  2. People who got automatically opted-in (for example, from a pre-checked box or purchased email lists) — in this case, you’ll need to ask for their explicit consent to send them marketing communication messages.

To get GDPR consent in case #2, you have to send re-permission email campaigns asking subscribers whether they’d like to re-opt to your email list.

After your re-permission campaign, any subscriber who has consented to receive your email marketing messages should be added to your new mailing list. People who haven’t responded will need to be removed.

How to Send Re-Permission Email Campaigns

When sending re-permission campaigns, personalizing your emails can encourage existing subscribers to re-subscribe to your mailing list. But doing all of this can be tedious and error-prone, which is why you would use a robust email marketing service like GMass.

With GMass, you can:

Best Practice #2: Be Clear about Your Communication and Privacy Policies

Building a list of email addresses using lead magnets on landing pages is a common marketing strategy.

For example, let’s say your website offers a free ebook on “How to Do a Keto Diet.” To gain access to the ebook, a visitor needs to complete an online form on your website by providing details such as their email address.

Now, this raises a simple question: does this violate GDPR?
That depends.

I’ll cover two scenarios to illustrate when you may be in the clear concerning GDPR and when you violate GDPR:

Scenario A

Your opt-in form includes:

  1. A link to your comprehensive communication policy, which clearly specifies the kind of emails you’ll send (transactional emails, marketing or promotional emails, etc.)
  2. A link to your detailed data privacy policy, which unambiguously explains how you use and safeguard user data
  3. The relevant checkboxes (not pre-ticked) an individual can click to indicate that they consent with your communication policy, data privacy policy, and other terms & conditions.

In this scenario, you’re likely compliant with the GDPR regulation.

Scenario B

Your:

  1. Communication policy is ambiguous or is unnoticeably tucked in within your terms and conditions
  2. Privacy policy doesn’t mention for what purpose you’ll use user data
  3. Webform contains pre-ticked boxes that indicate implicit consent but don’t ask for explicit consent

In this scenario, you’re likely violating GDPR rules.

Essentially, you need to provide — clearly and openly — all the details consumers may need to make an informed decision. Moreover, you shouldn’t trick potential customers into agreeing to your terms and conditions.

Best Practice #3: Include an Unsubscribe Link in All Your Marketing Emails

GDPR emphasizes the consumers’ right to reclaim ownership of their data and easily opt-out of marketing communications.

Now, you probably send emails only to people who’ve explicitly consented to receive your marketing communication messages.

But what if an existing customer or subscriber wishes to opt-out?
You need to give them the option to unsubscribe!

Not just that. You must also make it straightforward for the existing customer (or subscriber) to opt-out.

For this, you can include an unsubscribe link when you’re marketing by email.
Something along the lines of:

  • Click here to stop receiving emails from us.
  • Unsubscribe from all our marketing communications.
  • Opt-out of our emails.
  • You may unsubscribe to stop receiving our emails.

Unsubscribe option

And when someone clicks on the unsubscribe link, you must remove them from your email list and delete all data you’ve stored on the data subject for marketing purposes.

Additionally, you can provide subscribers with options to customize their email subscriptions.

You can let subscribers decide what kind of marketing communication (new products, offers, etc.) they’d like to receive and how often they’d like to receive them. This way, the subscribers have better control over the communications they receive from your marketers.

Best Practice #4: Rethink Your Marketing Automation Strategy

With the right tool, automating your email marketing activities is effortless.

However, in light of the GDPR regulation, you may need to rethink how you leverage marketing automation software in your campaigns.

Why?
For starters, you can’t send automated emails to people who haven’t explicitly consented to receive your marketing emails.

There’s also the issue of how you may segment and process your mailing list.

For example, let’s say you’re a company that offers a suite of marketing tools. Under the EU GDPR, you can send targeted emails to customers (who’ve signed up for your mailing list) with location-specific special offers.

However, let’s assume that you use an algorithm to process the customer’s personal data to identify users who’ve been heavily using your tool and could benefit from your other offerings.

As a result, you use marketing automation software to send targeted emails (with discount offers) to these people.

Doing so could be a violation since the GDPR regulation limits how organizations and businesses can use user data to profile European customers and make automated decisions.

But this is a gray area, and the legality can vary on a case-by-case basis.

Anyhow, it’s best to evaluate how you segment your mailing list and any associated info.
Then, check to see if there are any potential vulnerabilities in how you process consumer data for your automated marketing campaigns.

Best Practice #5: Create a GDPR Compliance Checklist

Ensuring that your email marketing efforts comply with GDPR rules can be tricky.

That’s why I strongly recommend you create a GDPR compliance checklist to evaluate your email marketing strategy.

Here is a list of questions you can use to get started:

  1. Have you received consent from subscribers to send them marketing emails?
  2. Are you aware of which data is protected under the EU GDPR?
  3. Do you maintain detailed records showing evidence of consent from your subscribers?
  4. Do you have a clear idea of how each contact ends up on your mailing list?
  5. Are you aware of where your email subscribers are located?
  6. Do you share your marketing communication and privacy policies with subscribers before signing them up?
  7. Does your communication policy clearly describe what kind of emails you’ll send to subscribers?
  8. Does your privacy policy clearly explain how you’ll collect, process, safeguard, and retain data relating to your email subscribers?
  9. Do all your marketing emails contain an opt-out link?
  10. Do you ensure that all your new email initiatives are in compliance with GDPR requirements?

Next, I’ll explain how GDPR requirements can impact your email policy.

How GDPR Affects Your Email Policy

Your organization may need to make some changes in its email policy to comply with GDPR rules.

These changes include:

A. Email Encryption

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that your organization adopts suitable, proactive measures to ensure data security.

And one feasible way to secure user data is through encryption.

But is it possible to encrypt your emails?
Email encryption is a given when you’re using an end-to-end encrypted email provider like ProtonMail and Tutanota or other cloud-based, secure email services.

Alternatively, you can send encrypted emails using Gmail or Outlook.

Note: Gmail uses TLS encryption preventing hackers from reading your message while en route to the recipient, but Gmail can still read your messages. With Outlook, you can use Message Encryption in Office 365 to ensure that only the recipient can read the email.

B. Organizational Email Security

Your organization must take proactive measures to protect the user data of EU residents and individuals and your employee data against a data breach, accidental loss or destruction, and so on.

How is this different from email encryption?
Unlike email encryption, email security isn’t just about adopting technical measures to protect consumers’ personal data. Instead, your organization needs to develop and put into practice internal policies regarding email safety best practices.

For example, your email and data security policy can specify how to proceed when employees receive emails with a suspicious From address, or how to report phishing or malware emails.

C. Email Retention

Data erasure is one of the key data protection principles under the EU GDPR.

And there are mainly two sides to this principle:

  1. Organizations may retain (or store) data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which the consumer data was collected.
  2. People in the EU have a “right to be forgotten,” meaning that individuals can request immediate deletion of their personal data.

Wondering how this impacts emails?
We generally don’t delete our emails, especially at work. And there are valid reasons for this, such as:

  • We want to maintain a record of our activities.
  • We wish to retain emails for any potential litigation.

In any case, the more emails you store, the more sensitive data (consumers’ personal data, employee data, etc.) you collect, and the higher the risk in case of a data breach. As a result, your organization might consider reviewing the emails it stores and deleting any non-essential emails.

Next, I’ll answer some frequently asked questions connecting GDPR and email.

2 GDPR Email FAQs

Here are the answers to two commonly asked questions regarding GDPR requirements and how they affect emails:

1. Should All My Outbound Emails Include an Unsubscribe Link?

GDPR specifies that your outbound or email marketing message must provide an easy way for recipients to opt-out of receiving your emails.

Now, GDPR doesn’t explicitly state that you need an unsubscribe link.

But including an unsubscribe link in your marketing message is standard practice. It allows your recipients to opt-out of receiving outbound and marketing emails. For that reason, I’d recommend that you include the unsubscribe link in all your email marketing campaigns.

2. If I’m Based in the United States, Do I Still Need to Be GDPR Compliant?

The answer to this question depends on whose data you may be processing.

If your company has absolutely nothing to do with storing or processing the personal data of people in the EU, you don’t need to be GDPR compliant. On the flip side, you’ll need to comply with GDPR requirements if your company’s subscribers, prospects, partners, or clients are EU residents or individuals.

Moreover, if you’re a data processor (or data controller) company processing the personal information of an EU citizen or individual, the GDPR applies to you. And this is regardless of whether the data processing activity occurs within the EU or outside.

Not just that.

Generally, GDPR also applies if you’re a business in the EU, and your client is not an EU citizen or resident but has purchased your product/service while in the EU — for example, a tourist traveling in France.

Final Thoughts

For email marketing in the EU, email marketers must obey the personal data protection law — the GDPR.

And this includes sending re-permission campaigns to get explicit consent from your EU subscribers, telling recipients how you’ll be processing customer data, adding unsubscribe links inside your marketing emails, and more.

By implementing the best practices I’ve covered above, you’ll have no trouble enacting GDPR compliant email marketing going forward!

When I started GMass almost six years ago, it was just a simple extension for Gmail that let you send a few personalized emails at the click of a button. Today, GMass is a powerful email platform that rivals the biggest email companies in the world. To reflect this giant leap in the product’s evolution, we’re updating our pricing on November 15, 2021. Both the pricing plans and what we bill for are changing.

Hopefully you’ve kept up with all the investments we’ve made in GMass recently. In the last few months alone, we’ve added the following to your plan: A/B testing, sentiment analysis, The Gate, a stand-alone SMTP service, webhooks, a Zapier integration, and much more. In fact, over the last five years we’ve added over a thousand features, many of which we invented and are industry firsts.

Nobody likes paying higher prices, but in our case, GMass would not be able to sustain itself at our current pricing. Our current pricing was set over 5 years ago, when the world was a very different place and building apps on top of Gmail was much simpler. Much has changed during this time, including costly compliance requirements set by Google, worldwide wage growth, and just regular inflation. Many software companies adjust prices yearly. We haven’t done that. I really hope you’ll stick with us so we can keep building.

Individual Plans

For GMass to continue on this path, it’s necessary to adjust our pricing — our first adjustment in a 5.5 year history. You can read the details of the price adjustments here, but in essence, our Standard Plan will go from 12.95/month to 19.95/month, our Premium Plan will go from 19.95/month to 29.95/month, and we’re introducing a new Enterprise plan for 49.95/month that will include priority support.

The benefit of subscribing before November 15

Users who are subscribed to the Standard or Premium plans prior to November 15 will have the benefit of being legacied into their current feature sets, whereas starting November 15, certain features that were previously available on the Standard plan will only be available on the Premium plan or higher. These features include A/B testing, API access, and conditional logic.

Team Plans

Team plans will have similar adjustments.

Plan Old Pricing New Pricing Per-User Overage Savings
Team 5-user $89/month $125/month $28/user/month beyond 5 users $5/month/user
Team 10-user $159/month $225/month $25/user/month beyond 10 users $7.50/month/user
Team 25-user $348/month $500/month $23/user/month beyond 25 users $10/month/user
Team 50-user $597/month $900/month $20/user/month beyond 50 users $12/month/user
Team 100-user $994/month $1500/month $15/user/month beyond 100 users $15/month/user

Team Plan Overages

Additionally, for certain team accounts, we’ve had a long-standing bug where overages for team plans weren’t being billed. Meaning, if you’ve been on the Team 5-user plan, but actually had 7 users in your team, we weren’t billing for those 2 extra users. Starting November 15, we will be correcting that and billing for team overages.

Non-profit discount

If you have our 15% non-profit discount attached to your subscription, that same discount will still apply to the new pricing. As a reminder, that discount is automatically given to accounts with a .org or .edu email address.

Team Plans subscribed using PayPal

We’ve always offered subscribing via PayPal as an alternative to traditional credit-card based subscriptions which are handled by our payment processor, Stripe. The issue with PayPal though is that their APIs aren’t nearly as robust, and therefore we aren’t able to allow you to modify your subscription once you’re subscribed via PayPal. Meaning if you want to switch your plan from Standard to Premium, and you’re subscribed via PayPal, you have to cancel your Standard subscription and re-subscribe to the Premium plan. Another consequence is that we’re not able to bill for overages on the team plans. For this reason, starting November 15, users subscribed to a Team plan via PayPal won’t be able to add more team members than their plan allows.

Annual Plans

Just like before, going forward, all annual plans, both Individual and Team plans, will be priced at the monthly price x 10 instead of 12. Meaning, all annual plans offer a discount of 2 months off the monthly rate in exchange for pre-paying for the year. So, there are two benefits to subscribing or upgrading to an annual plan before November 15: a) locking in current pricing for up to a year and b) getting the additional savings of 2 months off.

Usage-based billing for emails sent via SMTP

We have some users who send millions of emails/month through GMass and an integration with a third party SMTP service but still only pay a nominal monthly fee on the Standard plan. This isn’t really fair because this type of account uses far more resources, both with storage, and handling heavy-load features like open tracking, click tracking and auto follow-ups. Therefore in addition to the monthly fees, we’ll also begin billing for high volume senders that send via a third party SMTP service or via our in-house SendGrid account. Regardless of which SMTP service you’re integrated with, we’ll charge a nominal $0.40 (40 cents USD) per 1,000 emails transmitted to an SMTP service, with the first 10,000 emails being free. For 95% of users sending via SMTP, this will have no impact on billing.

Super old legacy pricing

A small minority of users are on some of our very old plans that we no longer offer. These plans were at the price points of $6.95/month and $8.95/month. All of these plans will be migrated to the Standard plan of 19.95/month.

You’ll soon be receiving an email from us about the change to your specific plan.

You can always make changes to your plan by logging in to your dashboard. If you have any questions about these changes, you can reply to the individual email you’ll soon be receiving or comment below.

The price change only goes into effect with your next renewal after November 15, 2021. If you upgrade to an annual plan, such that your renewal does not happen monthly, then you can lock in savings compared to the monthly price and postpone the price increase for up to a year.

In addition to everything we’ve packed in this year, we’re soon going to be launching native Salesforce and HubSpot integrations. For GMass, 2022 will be the year of integrations, with the goal of making it even easier and faster for you to send an email campaign. Here’s to your future success with email!
