Any good tool for cold mailing?

What tools do you use to automate cold mailing? Ideally free or just for a few $ in a pricing plan with up to 1k or 2k contacts.

    Time machine.

    You just need to get back to the 1990s, then spamming becomes so much easier, and even legal.

      I don't see anyone in this thread mentioning spamming

      1. 2

        Automated cold mailing to 1000+ contacts is pretty much the definition of spam...

        1. 1

          So it's pretty poor definition. Something like 650 is not spam and 651 starts to be, right?
          If you collected 10000000 mails in a legal - ideally manual way and you send them to people who are close to your target users and do not attack them with extremely direct offer of your product, do you think it's spam?

          If company shows its contact email with disclaimer "all business offers should be sent to this.." and you collect 1000 of such emails, so where is a border of spam?
          If I copy email addresses to BCC it's not spam?.. but if you copy the same addresses to cold emailing tool for better analysis it's spam?

  2. 1

    You better segment your mailing list for better personalization instead of 1k contacts in one go. Otherwise, you're going to put yourself into a spammy loophole.

    Try to break down the 1k contacts into 10 sub-groups (~100 each) based on the parameters you've.

    It's not about the tool but how you execute the cold mailing strategy for an ideal open rate, click rate and eventually sustainable conversion.

    I would recommend these tools for a small mailing list
    MailerLite
    Sendfox
    HubSpot

    All the best. And make sure your 1k contacts were collected legally.
