Well, that’s exactly what this guide is here to help with. So let’s get started.
Here’s how you can create your own Gmail mailing list to save time
The benefit of creating a mailing list for those you frequently contact as a group is that it saves time. More accurately, it saves time entering multiple email addresses or contacts. But it also goes a long way toward ensuring that you don’t miss anybody. Specifically, that you don’t miss anybody when sending out emails to multiple recipients. That’s useful if you happen to have a lot of coworkers who are on projects with you. But it’s not just helpful in business or enterprise situations. It can also be incredibly time-saving and useful if you need to email multiple people for other reasons. Such as putting together and sending out wishlists to the family for children’s birthday and holiday presents. Precisely how much time that ultimately saves, of course, comes down to how efficiently you use the feature. And that isn’t, in and of itself, the most intuitive process. So let’s take a closer look at how this can be accomplished.
Create a new group for your mailing list in Contacts
First, you’ll need to create a contact group — Google calls these “labels” — via the Contacts service. This is what you’ll utilize later on in Gmail. It’s worth noting, right from the start, that this doesn’t seem to work for any labels containing contacts that don’t have an email address. So you’ll likely need to create wholly separate Contacts groups for your Gmail mailing list. Setting that aside, the steps are really quite simple.
Here’s how to use your new label in Gmail
Now that you’ve gone through the trouble to create a group to use for your mailing list in Gmail, it’s time to see how you can actually use it. Although it’s also worth noting that you won’t necessarily, at least not for most users right now, be able to use these groups in emails sent via mobile. As is sometimes the case with our guides, the mobile version, unless Gmail is used online in Chrome or another browser, simply doesn’t support it. And this part is incredibly simple.
