What is Cold Emailing?

Cold email marketing is a strategy used by businesses to reach out to potential customers or clients via email, without any prior relationship or permission.

The aim is to generate leads, build brand awareness, and ultimately, drive sales. It can produce great results.

The emails are typically personalized and may include a value proposition or offer to entice the recipient to take action.

Cold emailing requires a lot of steps to get setup. So we’ve created a guide to walk you through it, viewable as a PDF or website.

Get More Engagement with Personalised Images

Emails that include images with personalised text typically provide higher engagement and click-through rates. Often, people glance over text (not reading it), but they do look at images.

We provide a really easy to use service that enables you to add personalised text onto images. This is achieved with merge tags, in the same way that you would add personalised text in the subject or body of an email.
