What is Cold Email?
Quick Answer
Unsolicited emails sent to people who haven't opted in to your mailing list, typically for sales outreach.
Cold email is reaching out to prospects who haven't subscribed to your list. It's legal in many jurisdictions if done correctly (CAN-SPAM compliant, includes unsubscribe, not misleading). Cold email best practices: personalize heavily, keep emails short, follow up 2-3 times, and respect opt-outs immediately. MisarMail's AI can personalize cold outreach at scale.
