What is a mailing list? 

A mailing list is a group of email addresses that are used to send targeted messages to a specific audience. Mailing lists can be used for a variety of purposes, such as sending newsletters, promotional offers, or other types of marketing communications.

It is important to follow best practices and to comply with GDPR when using mailing lists, including obtaining permission from individuals before adding them to the list and by providing an easy way for them to opt out of receiving further emails. The KhooSeller KhooCampaigner email marketing software helps to makes this easy for you and provides detailed analytics on your list once you've sent your first campaign.
