What is GMass?
GMass is a plugin for Gmail that allows users to send mass emails directly from their Gmail account while still making each email feel like a one-on-one message. Unlike traditional email marketing platforms like Mailchimp or Constant Contact, GMass lets you send personalized emails using data from Google Sheets and track detailed email analytics such as open rates and clicks.
GMass is widely used by professionals who want to scale their email outreach while maintaining a personal touch. For real estate agents like myself, it’s an invaluable tool for following up with event attendees, nurturing leads, and sending out market updates.
Key Features of GMass:
Personalized Mass Emails: Send bulk emails with each recipient’s name, company, or other personalized fields.
Email Tracking: See who opens your emails and clicks on your links.
Automated Follow-Ups: Schedule automatic follow-ups for contacts who don’t reply.
Google Sheets Integration: Easily import email lists from Google Sheets.
Spam Checker: Ensure your emails don’t get flagged as spam.
Email Scheduling: Send emails at optimal times.
Avoid Gmail Limits: Space out large email sends to stay within Gmail’s daily sending limits.
How to Set Up GMass in Gmail
Step 1: Install GMass
Go to the GMass website and click “Add to Gmail.”
Follow the prompts to authorize GMass to access your Gmail account.
Once installed, you’ll see a red GMass button inside your Gmail compose window.
Step 2: Connect GMass to Google Sheets
If you have a list of recipients stored in Google Sheets, you can connect it directly to GMass:
Open Gmail and start a new email.
Click the GMass button next to the “To” field.
Select “Google Sheets” and pick the sheet containing your email list.
GMass will automatically pull in the recipient details.
Step 3: Personalize Your Emails
To make your emails feel more personal, GMass allows you to use placeholders like:
Hi {FirstName},If you’ve imported names from Google Sheets, GMass will replace {FirstName} with each recipient’s actual first name.
Step 4: Write Your Email
Craft your email as you normally would in Gmail. You can include links, images, and attachments just like a standard email.
Step 5: Schedule and Send
Click the GMass button to send immediately.
Use the dropdown menu to schedule your emails for later.
How to Track Opens, Clicks, and Responses
One of GMass’s most powerful features is email tracking. Once you send an email using GMass, you can see:
Who opened your email
Who clicked on your links
Who replied to your email
To view this data:
Open Gmail and find the GMass Reports label on the left sidebar.
Click on it to view detailed analytics for each email campaign.
Use this data to refine your email strategy and follow up with engaged contacts.
How to Automate Follow-Ups in GMass
Follow-ups are key to increasing response rates, and GMass makes it easy to set up automated follow-ups. Here’s how:
Compose your email and click on the GMass button dropdown.
Select Auto Follow-up and choose the conditions (e.g., “Send follow-up if no reply after 2 days”).
Write your follow-up message.
Click Save and send your campaign.
Now, GMass will automatically send follow-ups only to recipients who haven’t replied—saving you time and effort.
Best Practices for Using GMass Effectively
To get the most out of GMass, follow these best practices:
1. Use a Professional Email Address
Avoid using generic email addresses like yourname@gmail.com. Instead, use a branded email such as yourname@yourdomain.com to increase credibility.
2. Keep Subject Lines Short and Personalized
GMass allows you to use first names in subject lines, which can increase open rates:
{FirstName}, Exclusive Real Estate Insights Just for You!Including emojis can also make your email stand out in a crowded inbox.
3. Avoid Spam Triggers
Gmail has strict spam filters. To avoid being flagged:
Don’t use ALL CAPS or too many exclamation points.
Avoid spammy words like “guarantee,” “free,” or “earn money”.
Use GMass’s built-in Spam Checker before sending.
4. Space Out Large Email Sends
If you’re sending hundreds of emails, don’t send them all at once. Instead, schedule them to send gradually to avoid Gmail’s spam filters.
5. Always Provide Value
Whether you’re following up after an event or reaching out to new leads, make sure your emails offer genuine value—such as useful resources, insights, or upcoming opportunities.
