A contact is an individual in your email list who has given permission to receive your emails. Each contact typically includes an email address, and can also have additional details like their name, email, or preferences. In MailerPress, contacts are the people you communicate with—whether you’re sending newsletters, promotions, or automated follow-ups.
Managing your contacts properly helps you build trust, stay compliant, and deliver more relevant content to your audience.
With MailerPress, you can store unlimited contacts.
