One of the Best!

4.0 9 months ago

Comments: Great overall. It's better than most. Room for improvement (if not in price points) than in a UI/X and less to no errors.

Pros:

Constant Contact has the BEST customer service. Top notch!

Cons:

At this price point, there should be NO bugs in usage. Still, however, there are issues when trying to do a few things. As good as they are, and better than most, there if much room for UI/X improvement!

Constant Contact Review

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Constant Contact was the most convenient to use compared to many other software options.

Pros:

It's more affordable than other marketing software and offers great value for the money. I appreciate the stable and easy-to-use email templates, which allow for simple drag-and-drop functionality across the platform. It also offers a variety of features, such as contact management, scheduling, and tools for increasing social media followers, all of which have been very helpful in running my business.

Cons:

A bug that causes issues in Outlook is a downside, and it's unfortunate that scheduling for Pinterest isn't available.

Excellent tool for boosting online sales

3.0 5 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Constant Contact has been very positive. I have seen a noticeable increase in customer engagement and sales since I started using their services. The automation features have saved me time by allowing me to schedule campaigns and follow-ups effortlessly. Customer support has also been very responsive and helpful whenever I had questions or issues.

Pros:

I particularly appreciated the ease of use of Constant Contact. The customizable email templates allowed me to create professional and attractive campaigns quickly. The integration with social media, especially Facebook, was a major asset for reaching a wider audience and increasing my sales. Additionally, the detailed reports helped me understand what works and adjust my strategies accordingly.

Cons:

One aspect I found a bit less satisfactory is the cost, which can be high for small businesses. Also, the initial learning curve can be a bit steep for those unfamiliar with digital marketing tools. However, once these obstacles are overcome, using the platform becomes much smoother.

Constant Contact: Easy to use, but on the basic side

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: For a simple newsletter that needs to be maintained by those not looking for a bunch of bells and whistles, this can work. If you want to be more creative, have more testing ability, or desire some unique automation capabilities it's best to look elsewhere.

Pros:

It's easy to use, even for those that aren't super tech savvy. There is a wealth of templates to choose from. I liked that it has segmentation that is easy to figure out. Also the email deliverability rates are really good.

Cons:

Unfortunately is can get pricey if you grow your audience. Automation isn't where it needs to be to be really useful, which is a big deal now. Also missing is the ability to A/B test robustly (since you can only do subject lines right now).

Pros:

This tool is the centerpiece of my digital marketing activities. It represents products and brands in a clear and memorable way leaving a lasting impression on the target market. It is mobile friendly and easy to navigate. Has a great email marketing approach which sees to it that transition of leads into customers is smooth and effortless.

Cons:

Everything is fine. It is an affordable tool to avoid the challenges faced in the digital world. However, the main challenge my colleagues have raised is the difficulty in cancelling the subscription. Some of them wanted to withdraw but it was hard for them.

It's fine, but it's not Mail Chimp

3.0 8 months ago

Comments: They are just fine. Don't expect to be able to speak with anyone in customer service--you get ONE call a year, ha! But if you're looking for inexpensive, it gets the job done. There are others, namely Mail Chimp, that are superior for a reason.

Pros:

Constant Contact gets the job done. You can store email addresses and create emails.

Cons:

Two things: it does not offer suppressions from sending lists. It would be great to have a feature that allows you to ensure emails are either receiving or not receiving a communication. Second: how is it 2024 and their emails for mobile still just stack everything? They can't figure out how to translate columns and wrapped photos yet? Literally everyone else does this.

Additionally, the UI provides you with some really useful hints that assist you navigate Constant Contact's platform with ease.

Cons:

We feel that Constant Contact "fails" to satisfy the affordability test, despite being a tool designed to support the expansion of small enterprises. The tool ($12/month for the lowest tier subscription) can be perfect for your business if you simply have a few hundred members. If simple functioning is all you seek, then this is also true. You will have to pay a high amount, though, if you want Constant Contact to have all the capabilities you need to actually execute successful email marketing. Furthermore, extra fees apply for supplementary capabilities like SMS and Litmus' "Inbox previews." This implies that your overall cost will be significantly higher than what you may have anticipated. Therefore, in our opinion, you ought to definitely utilize the 60-day free trial prior to
