Best practice
Use these emails at the beginning of the Buyers Journey to nurture contacts (Awareness to Consideration). Use Marketing emails to send emails to contacts where you don’t expect a reply. The emails should be promotional, informational, or related to the blog.
Use these emails at the end of the Buyers Journey (Consideration to Decision). Use Sales emails to send emails to contacts where you want them to reply. These emails should be used during the sales process or for customer support inquiries.
@Chris_Hughes HubSpot's Acceptable Use Policy defines that the marketing email tool may only be used for contacts who have verifiably opted into your brand. Opt in means a contact has personally provided both their email address and permission to be sent promotional content to your brand directly. The marketing email tool may not be used for sales email or cold sales outreach. Using the marketing email tool to send mail to contacts who have not yet opted into your brand may result in suspession of this tool within your account.
