How can I send mass emails to 2000 contacts?

In CRM, you can send only 250 mass emails per day. Mass emailing includes emails sent using the following features: 

  • Autoresponders
  • Mass Email
  • Scheduling Mass Emails     
There are two options by which you can easily send out bulk emails from CRM to 2000 contacts.

First Option - You can increase your mass email limit up to 2250 per day for a reasonable price to increase your mass email limit. See Also Mass Email Limit 

Second Option - You can send bulk emails in batches. Suppose you need to send bulk emails to 2000 contacts from USA, you can do the following:
  1. Create a custom pick list field for contacts, namely Mail Sent Status. You can specify the values as 'Sent' and 'Not Sent'.
  2. Create a custom list view that filters only those contacts to whom you need to send emails. The criteria can be, Country is USA and Mail Sent Status is Email Not Sent.
You can select 250 contacts from the list view and send mass email. Once the email is sent, you need to use the Mass Updatefeature to change the Mail Sent Status as 'Sent'. Doing so will exclude the contacts (for which email is sent) from the list view. This way you can make sure that an email is not sent twice to the same contact.
