The Migration Process (from Google Contacts/CSV to ESP):

Choose Your ESP: Select a platform that aligns with your needs, budget, and features required (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Klaviyo, Sendinblue, ActiveCampaign). Start with a free trial or a free tier if available.
Export Contacts from Google Contacts (if applicable): Go to con europe cell phone number list tacts.google.com, select the label(s) you wish to export, and choose the "Export" option (typically as a CSV file).
Prepare Your CSV File:, and only contains the data points you need (e.g., email address, first name).
Import Contacts to Your ESP: Follow your chosen ESP's specific instructions for importing contacts. Most ESPs have a straightforward wizard. Crucially, during import, you'll need to confirm that these contacts have given explicit, verifiable consent to receive marketing emails from you. If you imported cold contacts without consent, you risk immediate account suspension or deliverability issues.
Set Up New Opt-in Forms: Use your ESP's tools to create all your future professional sign-up forms for your website, social media, and any other collection points. This will ensure proper consent and automation.
Configure Double Opt-in (Highly Recommended): Within your ESP, activate the double opt-in process for all new sign-ups. This sends a confirmation email to verify their subscription, significantly boosting list quality and compliance.
Create Your Welcome Series: Design the automated email sequence that new subscribers (whether imported or newly signed up) will receive, delivering your lead magnet and properly onboarding them to your brand.
This transition from rudimentary contact management in Gmail to a professional ESP is not merely an upgrade; it's the foundational step for unlocking the true power and potential of email marketing for your business.
