Blind Copy: Learn How to Do It For Your Newsletter

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the process of using the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) feature in email programs to protect recipients' privacy when sending newsletters. Users are instructed to select contacts from their address book and utilize the BCC field, which may need to be enabled in email preferences. The method involves sending the email to oneself while including other recipients in the BCC field, ensuring that their addresses remain hidden from each other. This technique is applicable across various email platforms, including AOL.

How do you do the blind copy:confused: Would like to do a newsletter, and I see where you do that so that not everyone gets their addy. I think after the new year I will try the one Ann's using but for now I would like to know how to do this. Thanks for anyone that can help. Happy Holidays to all:angel:

Click into your address book - click on the person you want to send to - then click on BCC and it will insert parentheses around your contact and they will be blind carbon copied in your email. In the first area - send the email to yourself and that way they will see the email is from you and to you and the rest of the addresses won't be seen by everyone else. Hope this helps!
 
Blind copy is an option in your email program. Below the "To:" field, there's usually a "CC:" field, which stands for "Carbon copy," a throwback to the days of typewriters. If it's available (sometimes you need to turn in on in your preferences), there will be a "BCC:" field next - that stands for "Blind carbon copy."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Blind Copy in the context of newsletters?

Blind Copy, often referred to as BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), allows you to send an email to multiple recipients without them seeing each other's email addresses. This is particularly useful for maintaining privacy and ensuring that your newsletter recipients feel secure about their information.

How do I use Blind Copy when sending out my newsletter?

To use Blind Copy, simply enter your recipients' email addresses in the BCC field of your email client. This way, each recipient will receive the newsletter without knowing who else received it, keeping your mailing list confidential.

Are there any limitations to using Blind Copy for newsletters?

Yes, some limitations include the maximum number of recipients you can add in the BCC field, which varies by email service provider. Additionally, some email clients may flag emails sent to many BCC recipients as spam, so it’s important to monitor your delivery rates.

Can I personalize my newsletter while using Blind Copy?

Personalization is challenging with Blind Copy since all recipients receive the same email. To personalize newsletters, consider using email marketing platforms that allow for dynamic content and personalization features, rather than relying solely on BCC.

Is it legal to use Blind Copy for sending newsletters?

Yes, it is legal to use Blind Copy for sending newsletters, but you must still comply with email marketing laws such as the CAN-SPAM Act. This includes providing a way for recipients to opt-out of future emails and including your business's contact information.
