Should I Buy an Email List to Speed Up Growth?
No. Buying email lists violates ESP policies, damages deliverability, and reduces trust. Click to see why organic growth always outperforms shortcuts.
urchased email lists are not only low-quality—they are often illegal to use. Most email platforms like Mailchimp or Klaviyo will block your account if they detect bulk-imported, non-consenting users.
Additionally, cold contacts result in low open rates, high spam complaints, and IP/domain blacklisting. You waste effort emailing people who never opted in—and hurt your reputation in the process.
Build your list the right way by offering relevant incentives and using Gleam’s opt-in tools with verified consent.
