Today I’m proud to introduce the world’s first mail merge service with live email proofreading<\/strong>. Before you send your Gmail mail merge campaign, you can now\u00a0have a live English expert correct\u00a0and improve your email content<\/strong> with the click of a button. No other email marketing or mail merge platform offers this. GMass is launching\u00a0a revolution to perfect your email marketing content.<\/em><\/p>\n

See the demonstration below, using an example email that everyone has seen — a Nigerian 419 scam<\/strong> email:<\/p>\n

A demonstration of the GMass live proofreading feature. Click the animation<\/strong> for a closer look at what’s happening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before hitting the GMass button to send your mail merge campaign, just click the Proofreading<\/strong> button. My email proofreaders are standing by 24 hours a day Monday through Friday<\/strong>, and sporadically on the weekends. A proofreader will correct any spelling<\/strong>, punctuation<\/strong>, grammar<\/strong>, and mechanical<\/strong> errors, as well as improve word choice<\/strong>, sentence structure<\/strong>, rhythm<\/strong>, and organization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your email campaign will be handled in about ten minutes<\/strong>. Every GMass account gets THREE FREE proofreading submissions<\/strong>. We want you to use the proofreading service so you can see just how awesome it is! After that, the cost is $3.95 (USD) per proofreading submission<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After proofreading is complete, click the Differences<\/strong> button to see red\/green markup showing exactly what was changed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Perfect English in your email campaigns will:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Generate a higher\u00a0response rate<\/strong> from your prospects<\/li>\n
  2. Convey that you’re intelligent and in command<\/strong> of your communication<\/li>\n
  3. Make you the envy of email marketers<\/strong> around the world<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n

    Q: My English is pretty strong, and I already write good emails. Should I still use this service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: In most cases, our team of English experts can find at least a few elements to improve in an email campaign. Even if you’re already a good writer, there’s a good chance that the GMass proofreaders will find room for improvement.<\/p>\n

    Q: I already use Grammarly to check my emails. Why do I need your proofreading service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: Grammarly<\/a> is a great plugin for checking the mechanics of an email, and our proofreaders actually use it as a double check to catch spelling mistakes. It, however, is\u00a0far from perfect, and oftentimes, its suggestions miss the mark. Grammarly can’t offer\u00a0what a live proofreader can in terms of substituting stale words with more meaningful ones, and helping reorganize content so that your sentences read well and sound amazing. The proofreader’s goal is to make your emails perfect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Q: How long will it take to proofread my email?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: About ten minutes! When your email is ready, you’ll get an email notification that the proofreading is complete.<\/p>\n

    Q: My emails aren’t in English. Can I still use the proofreading service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: Not at this time. For\u00a0now our proofreaders can only edit emails in English.<\/p>\n

    Q: When are the proofreaders available?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: Proofreaders are standing by 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, CST time (Chicago time). Proofreading is also done sporadically on the weekends, but may take longer than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Q: Can the proofreaders fix my links or optimize my images, in addition to improving my English?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: Right now the editors are focusing on improving your language, but in the future, we may train them to fix links, optimize images, and even fully design your email campaigns.<\/p>\n

    Q: Who are the proofreaders? Are they overseas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: No, all of our editors are based in the United States and are native English writers and speakers. They actually work for GMass’s sister service, Wordzen<\/a>, which is an email writing and proofreading service.<\/p>\n

    Q: Who is eligible to use the proofreading service?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: All GMass accounts are allowed three free email proofreadings. Afterward, we’ll bill you $3.95 USD for each email you submit for proofreading. After your first three, you must be a paying subscriber to continue to use the proofreading service, since only then will we have your credit card on file to bill you.<\/p>\n

    Q: What if the proofreader doesn’t find anything to correct or improve in my email?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: Then the proofreader will inform you of that, and you won’t be billed and it won’t count against your proofreading allotment.<\/p>\n

    Q: How will I know what the proofreader changed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: After proofreading is complete, just click the GMass Settings arrow<\/strong>, and you can toggle between the Before<\/strong>, Differences<\/strong>, and After<\/strong> views. The Differences<\/strong> view has\u00a0a\u00a0red<\/span>\/green<\/span> markup showing exactly what’s been changed. The After<\/strong> view is the final proofread email that should be ready to send. The Before<\/strong> view is your original version, before any edits were made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
