Sending a direct email is a tall order when you’re trying to grow the reach & impact of your organization. Aren’t able to have a volunteer or intern on staff for this task? The next best option is a bulk email tool.
Look for the 👍. These are my personal favorites.
There are certain situations in life when you just have everything you need. For a brick-and-mortar business or nonprofit, it’s when you are operating in a community that likes you and needs your offering. All you have to do in the morning is open the doors and enjoy as people come to you.
You don't have the same visibility if you run an online wing of your organization. You usually want to reach beyond your local community, and you need to help people get to know you.
Finding the best cold email tool for your business will give you a very cheap and fast way to get in front of other companies or nonprofits. Search engines only work if you have great content and SEO. Social media and organic marketing usually require a team to see real success. Email is the front door of someone’s house, not the town square, and the door is almost always unlocked.
With that in mind, use these tools wisely. I recommend connecting with other businesses and nonprofits on Linkedin first… It’s like calling ahead before inviting yourself over. Happy emailing ~ Andy

Looking for a stylish, powerful cold email sending tool with a great UX? Woodpecker has you covered.
I’ve personally used this tool to send several thousand emails. Both the features and lack of features it brings to the task of prospecting leads are what make it so great and satisfying to use.
Uploading email lists and scheduling emails is a breeze. You get visual analytics and performance scores, and you can categorize your email recipients by actions, in addition to the automatic categorizations Woodpecker provides.
This is not an exclusive feature, but something I have enjoyed is the ability to automatically stop sending emails in a sequence once an email recipient has replied to an email. That’s when it’s time for you to jump at the opportunity to build a relationship with direct emails outside of a tool like this.
Who is this for?
The best feature of all is the site design. It’s just fun to work in, there’s lots of space, and the whole interface is simplified, perfect for small businesses and one-person operations.

Support4Good, I will detail several email discovery tools, some free and some paid. FindThatLead, as the name implies, is such a tool.
Rather than focusing on its email collection strengths, I want to focus on the email sending capabilities inside FindThatLead.
Imagine you’ve just gathered together 2000 highly relevant emails using FindThatLead. You’re ready to blast out a series of emails and start selling the product you know people are excited about.
Using an autoresponder like Mailchimp or Aweber you would quickly run into CAN-SPAM restrictions (find the law here) that could threaten to hurt the deliverability of your campaign.
But with Find That Lead, your Gmail account will do the work, and Gmail has the best deliverability. What’s better, you can find your leads and create email campaigns to deliver them all in the same interface!
