How Businesses Are Using SendHustle

If your business uses Google Workspace (or Gmail), you can use SendHustle for everything from one-off messages to personalized mass email blasts.

Here’s how people in different industries are using SendHustle for B2B emails, reaching out to new prospects, internal communications, sending newsletters, and more.

Beat Makers & Music Producers

SendHustle has become one of the go-to email platforms for beat makers, music producers, DJs, and everyone else working to sell their beats online.

Beat sales are a growing industry — now with multiple online marketplaces and tons of rappers (from huge names to first-timers) looking to purchase beats.

Beat makers are using SendHustle for sending cold email to market beats, email marketing follow-ups, and sending newsletters and updates to customers and prospective customers.

Why SendHustle is great for beat makers

On top of SendHustle’s features like integrating with Google Sheets, automated follow-ups, and recurring campaigns, there are also special features built specifically for people selling their beats.

When we started noticing beat makers were gravitating toward SendHustle, we reached out to ask what features could make SendHustle better.

The most popular request was a way to track who was listening to the beats attached to emails. So we build beat tracking in SendHustle — where you can see who listens, how many times they listen, and for how long they listen.

Cold Emailers and Cold Outreach Agencies

As we said in the opening of this article, SendHustle is perhaps best known as a cold email platform. Cold emailers, salespeople, cold outreach teams, and others are using SendHustle to send reliable, effective cold emails and sequences.

Why SendHustle is great for cold emailers

Yes, SendHustle has all the features cold emailers need and love, like follow-up sequences that stop on a reply, email scheduling, easy A/B testing, mail merge, and more.

But SendHustle’s focus on cold email goes deeper than that. SendHustle also has next-level features for cold emailers no one else is doing.

• Use a custom tracking domain with SSL (you won’t find SSL on tracking domains on any other cold email platform).
• Break Gmail’s limits and send virtually unlimited emails.
• Use embedded images rather than hosted ones to improve deliverability.
• The ability to always send emails as replies to previous emails — even if the emails are part of different campaigns.
• List building tools to create new lead lists based on recipients’ behavior in a prior campaign — or via a Gmail search.
• Replies to cold emails with sentiment analysis and one-click responses.
• The ability to test an entire sequence to see how the emails will look in recipients’ inboxes.
• A unique Spam Solver that tests your emails to see their inbox and spam rates, then suggests (and tests) tweaks to improve.
• Free email verification on your list — test every address before you send.

Plus, even with all of that, SendHustle is still the most cost-effective cold email platform out there today.

And while this list of features is great, all of these features are focused on one thing: Helping you send better, more effective cold emails faster — to bring in more sales, clients, and whatever else you’re after.

Colleges, Schools, and the Academic World

Cold email has been growing in popularity in academia — and SendHustle is growing right there alongside it.

But beyond cold email — schools, teachers, students, administrators, and everyone else at all levels of the academic world are using SendHustle for correspondence, newsletters, outreach, and a whole lot more.

College administrators are using SendHustle for personalized mass emails like campus-wide announcements, sending out grades and schedules, hiring faculty and staff, and more.

College admissions offices are using SendHustle to connect with prospective students, send acceptance notifications, collect tuition, and get updated student info.

College departments and faculty are using SendHustle to send out grades, correspond with classes, help with job searches, recruit student participants for groups, and more.

Students have been using SendHustle to email professors and teachers — from cold emails to join a research group to requests for letters of recommendation.

High school, middle school, elementary school, and even preschool teachers and administrators have been using SendHustle as a simple alternative to send personalized mass emails to students and parents.

Why SendHustle is great for everyone in the academic world

SendHustle is an email platform that’s easy to learn and use; it works inside Gmail or Google Workspace so there’s no new software to learn.

SendHustle makes it easy for people in the academic world to send personalized emails with mail merge from a Google Sheet. Auto follow-ups and open/click/reply tracking are also popular features for people in academia.

Teachers and administrators have also jumped on SendHustle’s personalized attachments feature — sending each recipient their own PDF (like grades, schedules, tuition invoices, and more).

Plus SendHustle offers an automatic discount to everyone with a .org or .edu email address — which has also made us quite a few friends in the academic world.

Link Builders

Link builders and link building agencies and teams are using SendHustle to send targeted, customized messages to websites at scale.

We did a case study on the Batlinks link building agency after they reached out to let us know they’d seen a massive boost in deliverability, open rates, conversion rates, and cost savings by switching to SendHustle.

Why SendHustle is great for link builders

Link building effort generally takes place in a Google Sheet — a large, complicated, ever-growing Google Sheet. SendHustle’s native integration with Google Sheets makes it simple to connect that sheet to an email campaign… use its data as mail merge fields… then automatically write open, click, and reply data back to that Google Sheet.

Link builders also love SendHustle’s recurring campaigns feature, where SendHustle can automatically check a Google Sheet new rows on a daily, weekly, or even hourly basis and send a campaign to the contacts in those rows. That means a link builder won’t need to send a whole new campaign every time they find a site that’s a good prospect for a link.

Medical Professionals (Dentists, Doctors, and More)

Medical professionals are turning to SendHustle for email marketing needs — because, yes, email marketing is a part of the healthcare world.

We’ve seen dentists, doctors, hospitals and urgent care centers, therapists, chiropractors, wellness pros, and more using SendHustle to stay in touch with patients, discuss new services, and more.

Why SendHustle is great for medical professionals

SendHustle’s ability to send personalized mass emails is great for breaking down a large email list — and making sure everyone receives a message that’s relevant to them.

We’ve also seen medical professionals taking advantage of SendHustle’s spreadsheet filtering and recurring campaigns to send out emails like happy birthday messages, “time to make an appointment” reminders, and other date-driven emails.

Photographers

Photographers are using SendHustle to handle their email marketing needs in a more cost-effective and personalized way than Mailchimp and others.

Why SendHustle is great for photographers

Photographers have been taking advantage of sending personalized images and attachments in SendHustle. You can send each person on your list emails featuring personalized images and/or personalized attachments — and photographers are using that feature for all sorts of marketing and upselling purposes.

We’ve also found photographers love how SendHustle gives you a way to quickly edit the HTML of a Gmail message — which allows photographers to get more creative with their designs.

Public Relations

If you’re in PR, you’ve almost certainly built a list of media contacts. SendHustle is a popular way to correspond with those contacts. Send your press releases, announcements, and more to your list (or targeted segments of your list) with SendHustle — and keep track of who is and isn’t opening, clicking through, and replying to your messages.

Why SendHustle is great for PR

SendHustle’s spreadsheet filtering is an excellent way for PR pros to send a message to a targeted subset of a list. Then, with conditional content, you can deeply personalize messages at scale to show your contacts exactly why your announcement is relevant to them and their audience.

Public relations pros also like SendHustle’s ability to suppress emails to contacts based on the number of days since you last emailed them. That’s how SendHustle has your back to make sure you’re not overwhelming a contact with too many press releases too often.

Real Estate Agents and Brokers

Whether it’s sending new listings to buyers, marketing your own listings, reaching out to other agents, or keeping in touch with former clients (to get future referrals), people in the real estate world have found a wide variety of uses for SendHustle.

Why SendHustle is great for real estate agents

The home buying process is a very individualized process — and SendHustle makes it easy for real estate agents to personalize mass emails to everyone on their current list of buyers. Use spreadsheet filtering, conditional content, personalized PDFs, and mail merge to make each email feel like it’s one-on-one.

Real estate agents also love SendHustle’s list building feature. Create a new email list from a Gmail search (for instance, to find everyone who’s reached out to you about one of your listings).

Recruiters and Hiring Managers

SendHustle is quite popular for recruiting and hiring managers for every stage of the recruiting process — from reaching out to new prospects to sending opportunities to your list to managing the entire hiring process.

Why SendHustle is great for recruiters

Recruiters can use SendHustle as an entire applicant tracking system — keep everything organized right there in Gmail and Google Sheets.

And during the prospect outreach process, SendHustle’s auto follow-ups and conditional content are a popular way to make sure good candidates see the jobs that they should.

Salespeople and Sales Teams

Salespeople love SendHustle for cold outreach — but also for warmer outreach, staying in touch with prospects and past clients, and integrating with CRM software.

It’s why SendHustle has become one of the top sales outreach tools and one of the highest-rated email platforms for salespeople.

Why SendHustle is great for salespeople

SendHustle’s mail merge features, integration with Google Sheets, auto follow-ups, A/B testing, and reporting are all features that (pretty much) all salespeople use.

SendHustle’s API and Zapier integration allow sales teams to connect SendHustle to pretty much every CRM on the market, including Salesforce and Hubspot. (Plus SendHustle’s advanced handling of CC and BCC on mass emails is great for getting emails into your CRM.)

And SendHustle’s teams features — like global unsubscribes and bounces, and sharable reports — are extremely popular with sales teams.

Sports Clubs and Gyms

Sports clubs and gyms need good ways to get in touch with members. SendHustle is a strong alternative to complex and expensive gym management software or bloated email apps. (It’s also better than posting announcements on social media and hoping the algorithms show those messages to members and prospective customers.)

Gyms, sports clubs, racquet clubs, fitness centers, CrossFit trainers, and other health and wellness businesses are using SendHustle to send announcements, sales and promotions, welcome emails, payment reminders, and more.

Why SendHustle is great for sports clubs and gyms

SendHustle is a less expensive, simpler option for your gym correspondence than gym management software or most other email marketing platforms.

Gyms like SendHustle’s easy integration with Google Sheets to send messages to members (or select groups of members).

SendHustle’s deliverability features are also popular with gyms. We’ve seen a number of gyms who were having trouble with their emails going to spam; with things like Spam Solver, SendHustle makes sure that’s no longer an issue.

And SendHustle’s personalized PDFs are great for gyms who need to send invoices, overdue payment notices, and other individual attachments to members.

How Clubs, Organizations, and Nonprofits Are Using SendHustle

SendHustle doesn’t only thrive in the business world. People are also using SendHustle as their mass email solution for organizations, nonprofits, clubs, groups, and political campaigns.

Here’s how people are using SendHustle for their organizations outside the realm of sales.

Clubs and Other Membership Organizations

There comes a time for every club or organization where sending one mass email with everyone CCed or BCCed just won’t cut it anymore. And that’s when those groups can turn to SendHustle to send more effective, targeted, personalized messages that keep members informed and engaged.

Clubs, organizations, and other membership groups use SendHustle for newsletters, recurring reminders, announcements, fundraising, and more.

Why SendHustle is great for clubs and membership organizations

SendHustle’s mail merge features are popular for membership groups — and help make every email feel relevant to each recipient.

SendHustle is also great for sending an automated series of welcome emails to new members to make them feel welcome into the group.

If you need to run a one-question survey for your group (or collect super quick RSVPs), SendHustle’s email polls can help you get that data in a matter of a few clicks.

And SendHustle’s deliverability tools are useful for organizations who worry about winding up in the spam folder. With the many free deliverability tools in SendHustle, you can feel more confident that your emails will reach members’ inboxes.

Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, and Other Houses of Worship

You need a way to get in touch with the members of your house of worship (since, as we all know too well, you can’t count on them always coming to services to hear someone read the announcements).

Churches, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship around the world are using SendHustle to send newsletters, announcements, fundraising emails, charity opportunities, welcome emails, and dues reminders to members.

Why SendHustle is great for churches and other houses of worship

The most common issue about other email providers we’ve heard from houses of worship is: Why does it always have to be so complicated to just send an email? (That’s also the most common question we’ve heard during conversations with Avril Lavigne, but I digress.)

SendHustle is focused on making it as simple as possible to email your members. Connect your Google Sheet of members and send an email in a matter of minutes. There’s no complex software to learn and no training required. We even have a SendHustle quickstart guide that walks you through the setup process step-by-step.

Once the people at churches and other houses of worship get going with SendHustle, we’ve found they also fall in love with features like automated follow-ups, recurring campaigns, email polls, and sending segmented campaigns.

Homeowner Associations

HOAs send a wide variety of emails, from legally-required meeting minutes to announcements to warnings that you need to take your Christmas lights down because it’s July.

We’ve found HOAs have gravitated toward SendHustle not just for its features, but because it’s built on top of Gmail — which makes it far easier than trying to use a third-party software option.

Why SendHustle is great for HOAs

HOAs like SendHustle’s mail merge, scheduling, and automated follow-up features — and really appreciate the ability to see reports on who’s opened and clicked emails.

Homeowner associations also regularly take advantage of SendHustle’s filtering to send messages to select groups… personalized PDF attachments… and simple email polls.

We’ve also found HOAs like that SendHustle saves every email campaign as a reusable template. That makes it easy to send out a common notice or welcome email; it only takes a few clicks.

Nonprofits

A solid email list is essential for a nonprofit — and SendHustle is a great way to stay in touch with that list.

Whether you’re sending fundraising emails, newsletters, membership renewal reminders, announcements, job openings, event invitations, or any other piece of important correspondence — SendHustle is a simple way to do it.

Why SendHustle is great for nonprofits

Nonprofits often have large donor lists — and it can be time-consuming to manage who has and hasn’t unsubscribed. SendHustle’s unsubscribe management takes the burden off of you. It’s easy to add an unsubscribe link to emails and when someone unsubscribes, SendHustle will automatically suppress future emails to that contact. There’s no manual work required on your part.

And if you’re using SendHustle with your entire team, you can use global unsubscribes. When that’s turned on for your account, SendHustle will make sure not to send your emails to anyone who’s unsubscribed from anyone sharing the same email sending domain as you or on your SendHustle team plan.

Plus, SendHustle offers an automatic discount for any accounts with a .org email — so many nonprofits see a big benefit there.

Politicians

Political emails — for donations, to promote events, to share updates — are extremely popular on SendHustle.

Politicians and their campaign offices are using SendHustle to reach out to voters, constituents, and donors — often on a daily or near-daily basis.

Why SendHustle is great for politicians

Political campaigns and politicians often have some of the largest email lists of anyone. SendHustle is one of the rare platforms that allows you to break Gmail’s limits to send virtually unlimited emails. Fundraising, especially fundraising off real-time events, is a process where you can’t wait for Gmail’s daily send limit to reset.

Politicians also love the targeting and list building features, which make it a smooth, quick process to put together lists (say, to everyone who donated from a certain email or to everyone who attended an event).

How Individuals Are Using SendHustle

Once you’ve been using SendHustle in business or with your club or organization, there’s a moment when the light bulb goes off: Oh, this would be great for my personal email too.

Here are some of the ways people are using SendHustle for their own personal correspondence, career development, and other non-professional needs.

Career Development and Job Hunting

There’s no need to run your job hunt through Gmail without using SendHustle. SendHustle can help at every stage of the process — from cold emailing for jobs to networking to applying and following up.

Why SendHustle is great for job seekers

SendHustle is built for cold emailing for jobs — using highly-individualized emails with mail merge and personalized paragraphs is key to getting responses. And since SendHustle can write reporting data back to your Google Sheet, you can get a nice overview of who’s been receptive to your outreach.

The auto follow-up features (with the ability to skip weekends), scheduling, and A/B testing are also helpful for the job hunting outreach process.

SendHustle’s tracking features are a useful way to see when someone opens your emails (and to build a list of companies who’ve replied).

Personal Uses

Think back to the last few emails you’ve sent. There’s probably some way SendHustle could’ve helped.

For example, instead of sending a mass invite to a birthday party with everyone CCed (or sending an Evite that people ignored), you could’ve sent personalized, individual email invitations.

When you were trying to buy a car, you could’ve reached out to multiple dealers asking for personal offers.

When you were organizing your fantasy football draft, you could’ve used SendHustle for better individual accountability (and to send automated messages to the inevitable slackers).

SendHustle can help you send better emails — no matter what it is you’re doing.

Why SendHustle is great for personal use

Not only can you save time with mail merge in SendHustle — but you’ll also get better results. Instead of sending mass emails, you’ll send personalized ones — which will compel everyone to respond.

You can send quick polls, schedule future messages, even automate birthday emails.

And at the very least, if you send emails with SendHustle, you’ll be able to see when people open and/or click — so you’ll know if they’re getting your messages or not.

Wedding Invitations and Planning

Weddings are becoming increasingly digital. You may decide to send everything digitally and not use paper at all. But even if you send some paper invitations, you’ll still need to email additional details, last-minute reminders, and updates to your guests.

We’ve seen couples, brides, grooms, wedding planners, maids- and matrons-of-honor, best men, and others look to SendHustle to handle every aspect of a wedding.

Why SendHustle is great for wedding invitations

We’ve written several guides to wedding emails here at SendHustle. First, some advice on how to choose a wedding email address and set up your account. We also have complete guides on sending save the date emails, bachelorette party invites and correspondence, bachelor party invites and correspondence, and online wedding invitations themselves.

SendHustle is an affordable option (much more affordable than paper invites, and decidedly more affordable than digital invitation services) you can use through every step of the wedding planning process.
