Promotional materials – sent to notify subscribers about special offers and deals while improving brand awareness. These emails may also contain suggestions for a certain group of clients. Such bulk mailing requires proper email list segmentation.

Acquisition messages – aimed at clients who haven’t yet made a purchase. They usually contain special deals for new clients or information that may push the person to convert.
