Hey there!
Let's chat about how you can set up and fine-tune your campaigns using Stamina. Think of this as a friendly guide to help you get started and make the most out of your outreach efforts.
Getting Started with Your Campaign
Choose Your Email Accounts: First, pick the email accounts you want to use for sending messages. Stamina lets you connect multiple accounts, so you can reach out from different addresses. This can help your emails land in inboxes instead of spam folders.
Stop Emails When Someone Replies: It's a good idea to set your campaign to pause sending more emails to a contact once they reply. This way, you won't accidentally send them more messages when they've already responded.
Track Opens and Clicks: Want to know if people are reading your emails or clicking on your links? Enable open tracking to see who opens your emails and link tracking to see who clicks on the links you include.
Optimize Delivery: Stamina can help your emails look more personal by removing fancy formatting and images. This can improve the chances of your emails being read. Just remember, if you turn off open tracking, you won't know who opened your emails, but you can still track link clicks.
Set Daily Sending Limits: To keep things running smoothly, decide how many emails you'd like to send each day. A good rule of thumb is to send about 30 campaign emails per day from each email account you're using.

Advanced Settings to Consider
Assign a Campaign Owner: If you're working with a team, you can assign someone to be in charge of the campaign.
Add Custom Tags: Organize your campaigns by adding tags. This makes it easier to find and manage them later.
Set Time Gaps Between Emails: Decide how much time should pass between sending each email. Adding a random extra time can make your sending pattern look more natural.
Limit New Contacts Per Day: If you have a big list of contacts, you might want to start with a certain number each day. For example, if you set this to 100, only 100 new contacts will receive the first email in your sequence each day.
Prioritize New Contacts: By default, Stamina sends follow-up emails before reaching out to new contacts. If you'd prefer to contact new people first, you can change this setting.
Match Email Providers: Stamina can match your sending email provider with your contact's provider. For instance, if you're using a Gmail account, it can prioritize sending to contacts who also use Gmail.
Stop Emails to a Company After a Reply: If someone from a company replies, you can set Stamina to stop sending emails to others at the same company. This prevents multiple people at the same place from getting the same message.
Handle Automatic Replies: Sometimes, you'll get automatic responses like "Out of Office" replies. You can choose whether Stamina should pause sending emails to those contacts until they're back.
Add an Unsubscribe Option: It's courteous to give people an easy way to opt out of your emails. Stamina can add an unsubscribe link to your emails, making it simple for recipients to stop receiving messages if they choose.

By setting up your campaign with these options, you'll be well on your way to running effective and respectful outreach efforts. Remember, the goal is to connect with people in a meaningful way, and these settings help you do just that. Happy emailing!
