To answer what are mass emails we can say that it is sending an email, newsletter or bulletin, to a previously prepared email list  The emails that make up that list are obtained from information provided by the client or follower, that is, they gave their consent to integrate that list, otherwise the sending is considered spam.

When creating an emailing campaign, emails are sent to the contact list. There are email marketing managers, which are used to send the entire list at once. These email platforms facilitate the task. They offer a wide variety of templates for the design of the campaign. The sending can be done at the moment or schedule a date and time for it to be completed.

Mass emailing is used as a means of communication, to carry a message to the previously prepared contact list. These messages can be promotional, informative or for sale. The attractiveness of the title should invite you to open the email to continue reading. Not everyone can be sent the same message. For this, segmentation is applied, which is nothing more than dividing the contact bases into groups that share common characteristics. Thus, the sending is carried out with valuable information according to the interests of the receiving group. The effectiveness of this strategy

Sending mass emails is one of the most effective and most accessible tools for small and medium-sized companies.
