Over the last week 3 of us have been surfing google collecting email address we now have 250, I want to mass email them all what's the best way to do it?

I have a mail chimp account but when I try and load them into it I get a 'syntax error' message.

I know this is spamming but I thought I would give it a test

[qginsburg]

Lol well done Mike go for it !

[Ian Gourlay]

You have never been afraid of trying new Marketing Ideas

[John Kelly]

Beware, one of our customers lost a domain name address because of this. Thats all I can say on the matter.

[davep]

I had someone telephoning commercial businesses for 8 hrs.  That should yield better results than emailing 

I got one invitation to quote. 

[Mike Halliday]

Was it Becci? Who advertises on here?

Just done 8 hrs for me 3 'quotes' none require carpets cleaning now but want to know for future reference. 6 request for further information

Not as good as I was expecting

[John Kelly]

Probably not the best time for contacting commercial clients. A lot are quiet at the start of the year and not in a spending mood. Springs probably best time as the light increases showing up the dirt more (its not called spring cleaning for nothing ), artificial lighting does tend to hide it. Also a lot of budgets running out at the end of march before the new tax year. I am lead to believe that you have to hit a commercial customer 7 times before getting a response.

[davep]

I've tried hitting them but it didn't work 

[Mike Halliday]

This is the email I'm going to send.....

Hi,
we did a mail-shot in December with some information about the free stain removal service we are offering during January ( we will remove any stain you have on your carpet free of charge )

We had a great response and it has helped us build up our customer base but it comes to an end in a couple of weeks, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OFFER.?

It's a genuine free service which we give to new clients. This gives us the opportunity to introduce ourselves and showcase our cleaning company.

Please feel free to check out our website www.henryhalliday.co.uk 

Why not inspect your carpets and if you find any annoying stains spoiling your professional appearance please give us a call on 01482 805118

Henry Halliday

Ps: we also offer this free service on office chairs or upholstery
PPs: we also are giving 20% off our cleaning prices during the January/February slow season, please contact us for further details

"STOP WORDS"

Here's a list of stop words that I was given a while ago. By stop words, I mean those that can trigger spam filters.

 After all, you don't want to fail at the first hurdle...

Garry, at that rate you might as not bother sending anything   
p.s. you missed out thingy enlargement and Viagra. lol

Mike, how did the service from Becci go? was she calling these same businesses?

[Mike Halliday]

Garry, great minds think alike,

 what you can' t see in my post is the actual title of the email which combines. 2 of the example that you give

[Steve Chapman]

I wouldn't put remove any stain free of charge, which leaves you wide open if you can't remove it, maybe treating stains ?

Steve

[garry22]

To be honest Mike, it's pretty difficult not to use them. The list is for general internet marketing but there are a few surprises in there.

[Mike Halliday]

Garry, great minds think alike,

 what you can' t see in my post is the actual title of the email which combines. 2 of the example that you give

Actually these are stop words so what you are saying is don't use them, might have to rethink the title

Steve, you could be right I might add a small disclaimer about not  being 100% successful.

Dawg....

Stats from her 8hr service...

Overview:
3 appts in green
5 info requests in yellow
1 future callback in blue
39 not interested in grey

[Carpet Dawg]

thanks Mike.

[Carpet Dawg]

yeah, beat not to have the title and subject of the email to sales like.

[Ian Gourlay]

I have just had an email from Thompson local offering 50 Free Ideal Customer Contact details .
I am not taking it up as I do not want to spend hours going through their Sales Pitch.
