trust. They may look like they’re from a bank, a credit card company, a social networking site,

What Is Bulk Email?

Bulk email is a broad term referring to a wide-range of email marketing sent to a long list at the
same time. Bulk email services broadcast messages to a mass email list, whereas transactional
emails are targeted to a single user based on an action that user completed. As with all mass
email messages, only send to subscribers who have added their email address to your contact list
and opted in to receive marketing emails from you. And don’t forget to include an unsubscribe
link in every message.

Types of Bulk Email

You can send emails to your complete email mailing list or target emails to a specific subset of
subscribers. When you combine an eye-catching email template and subject line with Mailgun’s
email service focused on email delivery for developers, your email marketing campaigns become
more effective no matter what kind of email marketing you’re doing.

build awareness. This email campaign can target both prospects and existing customers in your
contact list to inform them about other products and services that are appropriate for them.
 Email newsletters keep your subscribers informed of what’s happening with your brand. This
bulk email should go beyond updates about your offerings. Provide how-to guides and other
useful insights that help customers effectively leverage your product or service.
 Acquisition emails encourage prospects in your email list to convert into actual customers.
These email campaigns target readers on your contact list who have expressed interest but
haven’t made a purchase yet. You can share special offers and detailed information that helps
them see the value in your offering.
 Retention emails boost customer loyalty and keep them coming back for purchases. Send this
bulk email to customers who aren’t opening your emails, with special offers designed to grab
their attention.
