Constant Contact Helps You Stay Connected
- Tracks contacts who were sent, clicked, and opened each email.
- Allows our teams to create lists and tags to keep constituents organized.
- Provides colorful and attractive email templates.
- It would be nice if we had more customizable options for emails - like moving around pictures and text boxes, rather than a set spot for everything to go.
- I would like it if multiple people could work on a document at one time. So if I'm in charge of graphics, I can get those updated while someone else is entering content, etc.
- Constant Contact's email-creation UI is easy and powerful. This makes creating new emails and newsletters fast for even non-technical users. The user has many options to customize the email with images, buttons, links, and more.
- Constant Contact is more than just a email sending service. Their other campaign types include event registration, surveys, and A/B tests. Each of these campaigns can add value to your company beyond just email.
- Constant Contact offers many email templates to choose from. Whether you are looking to send a bulk newsletter or a more personal note, there will be template for you to work off of and further customize.
- Constant Contact's list management UI is not the best. Selecting a list on the Contacts home page does not link you directly to the list, so refreshing the page means you have to re-select the list, which is a couple clicks away. This becomes troublesome when updating contacts in a separate tab and hoping to refresh the list page to see the results.
- The UI of the Contact page is also not great. There is a confusion between lists and tags, and the data fields are not organized well.
- The reporting features, while useful, lack customizability. More than surface level data analysis needs done with an import into Excel.

Love the Segmentation Tool!
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- Market segmentation is great: my main segmentation is by region because that's how our sales team is divided.
- Lists: making customized email lists is easy and intuitive; the custom fields allow some flexibility in case our fields don't exactly line up with Constant Contact's.
- Campaigns: creating campaigns is quick and simple. I especially appreciate the 'resend to non-openers' option. I am constantly using this feature.
- Subject line generator: I like using the recommended subject lines. I'm able to plug in their recommended ideas, or sometimes, this feature helps me generate my own ideas.
- Reporting: sometimes, IT departments automatically open and click on all the links in emails, and those are sometimes reported as real opens and clicks. It's hard to tell.
- Email builder: we use different software for creating emails, and then export them over to Constant Contact. There isn't a plethora of options and flexibility within their email builder.
- Importing lists: it would be beneficial to us if we could somehow export from our Salesforce lists directly to Constant Contact. Instead, we need to export from Salesforce to Excel, and then import to Constant Contact.

Very intuitive interface that satisfies most email marketing needs.
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- You can accomplish quite a bit using the drag and drop interface, so there is less custom HTML required.
- Easy to use for folks who are not tech savvy.
- Very quick upload speed for contact lists when compared with other email marketing vendors.
- Easy to customize contact lists.
- Displays much more consistently across different email clients when compared with other email marketing vendors.
- Drag and drop interface can be buggy. For example, when you drag in a component, sometimes the email template keeps scrolling, so you're not able to actually drop in the component.
- Reporting is a bit confusing. There are 2 different ways to access reporting and I believe only one of them allowed you to view click rates for embedded links.
- Limitations on the drag and drop interface. For example, you're not able to create a sidebar that spans the entire length of the email, which was a request from a client.

CC for the Win

A solid email marketing program
- Constant Contact allows the users to send unlimited emails and just pay per list size.
- The software does welcome emails pretty well and allows you to set up all sorts of automation.
- The branded templates and starter templates are very useful and look good.
- The interface is definitely a bit difficult to use and it takes some getting used to.
- More customization and exporting of html would be awesome.
- They could expand on features that other email marketing software has such as tying in with social media, more flows, etc.
- Contact metrics are very easy to manage
- I can handle a large number of contacts
- It is an excellent alternative for database administration
- Sometimes the monitoring parameters are not the simplest
- Contact Database Management
- Large Group and Sub-Group Email Messaging
- Email Results and Metrics
- Glitch in the email builder resets font to default if you backspace after a return
- Certain functions (like RSVP) can be capture for free on other platforms, but not Constant Contact
- Somewhat limited background selection options (but is improving)
