Maximizing Email Marketing Results With MailKing
So now that you have an awesome email template for Halloween, you can send it to as many people as you like individually.
Orrrrr, if you plan to have a Halloween sale or want to distribute your Halloween email to your entire email marketing list, MailKing does just that. This small business email marketing software is designed to serve email lists of 10,000 email addresses or less, and lets you send your email marketing campaign straight from your own Gmail, so there’s nothing too complicated to have to learn.
How to Start Sending Emails With MailKing
Step 1: Install MailKing
Pull up MailKing by cloudHQ in a Chrome browser window. Click Add to Chrome.
Step 2: Design your campaign
With your email customized and ready to go, click the MailKing button in your composer window’s options bar: it’s a blue button showing a white chess piece. Give your email campaign a name to help you remember it in the future.
Step 3: Craft your emails
You can add email recipients manually by clicking “Add” and entering email addresses, or you can upload in one of three ways:
- Import from Google Spreadsheet
- Upload from CSV or Excel
- Import from Google Contacts
Choose the “From” name for your emails. This can be your business name, personal name, event name, or anything else.
Then add a spooky email subject line that gets your audience’s attention. We even recently wrote an article about 100 Halloween Email Subject Lines to help you get this fun project off the ground!
Friendly Tip: If you don’t have an email marketing list, and want one, just run our app Email List Builder through your Gmail account, and it’ll export every single email address you ever exchanged emails with in your entire Gmail inbox, or a Gmail label (it’ll ask you which you want to do). Once it’s exported into a Google Sheet, you can simply upload that spreadsheet as your email list for your email campaign.
Step 4: Review
Above the “From” name, you’ll find “Edit” and “Preview.” Use these buttons to view your email just as your recipients see it. Be sure to check the “Desktop” and “Mobile” options to see how your campaign will be delivered on both platforms. Make edits accordingly.
Step 5: Send
Now comes the fun part; hit send! Your campaign is on its way, sticking to Google’s send limits. Once the campaign is sent, you can view the results by clicking on the name of the campaign in your MailKing dashboard. There, you’ll find all of the statistics you need before crafting your next campaign, such as open rates and link clicks.
