Using a mail merge is a smart option if you want to send out personalized messages to your contacts, right from Google Sheets. It's an extremely elegant technique to save time while making your recipients feel as though your email message was written specifically for them.

MailKing‘s Mail Merge for Gmail™Email Campaigns is perfect for sending out bulk emails and texts with personalized messages. For your email, you can either:

✅ Create your own message in minutes using our intuitive creator platform
✅ Select an email template from our free email template library
✅ Copy an email that someone sent you, and change logo/wording/links to make it look and feel like your own email

Once you have your email or text ready, you can think about what you might like to personalize in it. It could be for:

♻️1. FOLLOW UPS:
- An appointment confirmation
- Customer or employee appreciation
- Order followup

🌎2. GEO-LOCATION:
- Location-based event (virtual or real), like a webinar or a conference 
- Rules for employees, like Covid vaccinations, new HR rules, etc. 
- Organizing routes for employees like truckers, or delivery people
- Real estate listings

ℹ️3. MISC:
- Postscript
- Education, like giving specific feedback to each student or their parents
- Anything else you might have that has personalized information based on your contact

This ensures that the basis of all your communication is derived by a simple, time-tested way: using a spreadsheet to collect all your contact information. 

============================================

~~EMAIL LIST BUILDER~~
If you're dreading where to start because you don't have a contact list in a spreadsheet, we have you covered there too. Both the tier 2 and tier 3 plans of this app give you access to an email list builder, where we build your email list in Google Sheets based on all the email addresses in your inbox or Gmail label. 

~~HOW TO MAIL MERGE WITH GOOGLE SHEETS™~~

To mail merge using Google Sheets ™, just follow the steps below: 
1. Open Google Sheets 
2. Open your contact file, or create one with your email recipients' information.
2. Go to the "Add-ons" tab from your menu bar on top in Google Sheets™
3. Select "MailKing," then select "Create Email Campaign," and click on the "Start email campaign" button.
4. Create a new email in minutes using MailKing's intuitive email builder, or select from one of our hundreds of free email templates in our library. 
5. Personalize your email with your merge tags. *Note: All merge tags are actually your header columns in your Google Sheets™ file.
6. Preview your campaign on mobile or desktop, and schedule send your email, or send it immediately.

============================================

~~WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU SEND YOUR MAIL MERGE EMAIL CAMPAIGN~~
Unique to MailKing, you'll get a complimentary email report with your Premium membership detailing who opened your email, who clicked on anything, who replied back, and other pertinent information about your recipients' reaction towards your email.
