Non-Marketing Contacts in Hubspot cannot receive marketing emails but can still be sent one-to-one emails through [sequences](https://support.goodwood-consulting.com/knowledge/sequences-vs-marketing-emails?hsLang=en) or directly from Hubspot if your [email inbox is connected](https://support.goodwood-consulting.com/knowledge/how-do-i-connect-my-email-address-to-hubspot?hsLang=en) to your Hubspot account.  Contacts can be marked as Marketing Contacts at any time by editing the contact field "Marketing Contact Status" Contacts can have their marketing contact status removed by editing the same field, but **they will continue to count against your account's Marketing Contact limit until the beginning of your next billing cycle.**   If your account exceeds it's Marketing Contact status limit it will automatically be upgraded to the next tier and billed accordingly. If you would like to upgrade your account or if you are concerned your account may exceed it's Marketing Contact limit, be sure to contact support@goodwood-consulting.    # [How to find your Marketing Contact Limit](https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/eaea29e7-2b3f-403b-9684-f441e1d03961?utm_source=magicCopy&utm_medium=magicCopy&utm_campaign=workflow%20export%20links) --- ### 1.
