SiteGround Email Marketing is a powerful CAN-SPAM & GDPR-compliant tool for communicating with your audience. This service stores your subscribers’ contact information in one central location, simplifying your email list management. By manually importing contacts, you can craft and send targeted promotional emails to boost conversions.

In this post, we’ll show you how to add contacts to your SiteGround Email Marketing service manually, so read on.

How do I manually add contacts to the Email Marketing service?

When managing your Email Marketing service, there may be instances where you need to add single contacts to your email list. This manual addition can help you expand your reach and engage with a broader audience.

To add contacts sequentially, navigate to your Client Area > Services > Email Marketing > Contacts > Contact List.

The Email Marketing service also allows you to add contacts to your list by importing them from a CSV file.

When in the Contacts > Contact List section, enter your contact’s information, like names and email address, in the Create Contact fields. Optionally, you can put a Group on the contact, although you can also assign one later.

That’s it! You’ve manually added a contact to your list. From here on, you can keep adding more contacts, using the Add New Contact button.

Why would I need to add my contacts manually?

There are several reasons why you may need to add contacts to your email marketing contact list:

  • Personal Interactions. When you meet potential subscribers or customers in person, such as at networking events or conferences, you may need to manually add their contact information to your email marketing contact list. This lets you stay connected with them and inform them about your products, services, or updates.
  • Compliance with Regulations. Managing your email list through an email service ensures compliance with regulations such as CAN-SPAM or GDPR laws.
