Can You Send Mass Emails With Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:52 am

There’s no doubt that email marketing is still one of the most effective ways to reach your audience. And while there are a number of platforms and services you can use to send mass emails, you might be wondering if Squarespace can be used for this purpose.

The short answer is yes, you can send mass emails with Squarespace. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you do so.

For starters, Squarespace offers two email marketing tools: Email Campaigns and Announcements. Email Campaigns is designed for more traditional newsletters and bulk email sending, while Announcements is better suited for one-time announcements or sending emails to a smaller list of contacts.

If you’re planning on using Squarespace to send mass emails, we recommend using Email Campaigns. This tool includes a number of features that will make it easier to manage your contact list, create beautiful email templates, and track the success of your campaigns.

Before you start using Email Campaigns, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

PRO TIP: Sending mass emails through Squarespace is not recommended. The platform is not built for this purpose and it can cause deliverability issues for your email list. Additionally, Squarespace’s spam filters are quite aggressive, so your emails may end up in recipients’ spam folders.

First, you’ll need to sign up for a third-party email marketing service like MailChimp, Constant Contact, or Drip. These services will provide you with the ability to create and manage your contact lists, as well as send bulk emails. Once you’ve signed up for a service, you’ll need to connect it to your Squarespace account.

Second, it’s important to note that Squarespace’s deliverability rates may be lower than other platforms because we don’t specialize in email delivery. This means that some of your contacts may not receive your emails if they have strict spam filters in place.

Third, while Squarespace’s email templates are beautiful and customizable, they may not be ideal for every situation. If you’re planning on sending mass emails with important images or large amounts of text, we recommend working with a professional designer to create a custom template.

Finally, keep in mind that sending mass emails can be time-consuming and expensive. If you’re not careful about managing your contact lists and monitoring your results, you could end up wasting a lot of time and money.

If you’re looking for an easy way to send beautiful emails to your audience, Squarespace is a great option. Just be sure to keep these things in mind before getting started.
