A few quick steps and your account will be ready to send:
When you start, let us know your email marketing or deliverability skill level. This helps us tailor instructions so you’ll see feature explanations that match your background—whether you’re brand new or a seasoned pro.
Compliance is key. Every campaign you send must include a valid footer mailing address. Add your address under the Account tab. You can update or add multiple addresses later if needed.
Save time by setting up default values (such as from name, from email, or reply-to address). These can be changed at any time and are especially useful if you’ll be sending on a regular schedule. If you don’t have this information ready yet, you can skip and set it later.
Verify your Sending Domain, so you will be allowed to use this sending domain for your campaigns. Domain authentication ensures inbox providers recognize your messages as legitimate. This step improves deliverability, helps your emails avoid the spam folder, and ensures your brand appears clearly to subscribers.
Upload your contacts by importing a file, connecting to another system, or manually creating a small test list. A healthy, permission-based list is the foundation of successful email marketing.
Use our editor to design your first mailing, choose a prebuilt template, or upload your own HTML design. Make sure to include your branding, engaging content, and a clear call to action.
Before sending to your entire audience, send yourself a test message to check formatting, links, and personalization. Once everything looks perfect, schedule your campaign or send it immediately.
By default, DKIM, SPF, and link tracking use ReachMail-managed (shared) domains and DNS records. For better deliverability and brand control, we recommend implementing your own domain records:
Tip: These DNS records are now required by major inbox providers including Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. Setting them up early ensures smoother sending.
