Complete Cold Emailing Guide - eCommerce Version

Google Workspace

Our top pick for domain management is Google Domains in conjunction with Google Workspace. Not only is it user-friendly and straightforward to set up, but it also offers some technical perks without the headache. The cost of Google Workspace is $6 per month which IMO is worth it.

For crafting the perfect, personalized opening line for your leads, we turn to the AI tool FirstLineGen. We've tried other options like Smartwriter and Warmer, but this one comes out on top in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness. At just $0.05 per personalized line, it's well worth the investment and can save you the hassle of manually crafting each message. Plus, the AI technology ensures that each line is written perfectly and tailored to the individual recipient.

QuickMail.io

Warming up your domain is key to avoid ending up in the dreaded spam folder. A few weeks ago, I would have recommended using QuickMail for this task, but unfortunately, Google recently announced a ban on auto warming features. As of now, MailFlow seems to be the go-to solution, but it's always best to stay informed as the landscape is constantly changing. In any case, make sure to warm up your domain for at least 2 weeks before starting your outreach campaign. And make sure to never turn off the auto warming feature, as it ensures your domain stays in good standing and prevents being marked as spam.

NeverBounce

Cleaning your email list is a must-do when it comes to cold outreach. The number one enemy you want to avoid is a high bounce rate. This happens when you send an email to a non-existent address, which often occurs when a recipient changes jobs and their company email is no longer active. To avoid this, we, like many other marketers, use NeverBounce to validate which emails are good to send to. In the beginning, stick to sending to "valid" emails and as you progress, you can take on more risk.

When it comes to selecting a client for sending your emails, there are countless options to choose from. We're not affiliated with any specific one, but we've found QuickMail to be effective for maximizing deliverability. While the user interface could be improved, it gets the job done and we haven't found a compelling reason to switch. Other popular alternatives include Instantly, Lemlist, MailShake, and many more. With so many options, the choice can be overwhelming, but rest assured, QuickMail is a solid choice.

Hunter

When it comes to tracking down email addresses, we recommend using Anymailfinder. It's a fantastic option because you only pay for valid email addresses, and it also provides LinkedIn contacts for easy outreach on the platform. It's a win-win! All you need is to enter the domain (website) and job title you’re looking for. Another alternative is Hunter. As you’ve guessed, you can and should organize all these in Google Sheets, for free.

BuiltWith

For eCommerce leads, we suggest checking out BuiltWith or Apollo. While Builtwith's subscription can be a bit pricey, it's worth it once you get things rolling. To start, you can use Apollo as an alternative. And if you're specifically targeting Shopify store design, Apollo allows you to filter through the list of stores and only focus on those using Shopify. There's no sense in reaching out to leads that aren't a good fit, so make sure to narrow down your search to avoid wasting time.
